4 Hour Beginners Bay Inshore (AM)
Captain MO was absolutely wonderful! I brought 2 teenagers and they have been talking non stop about it since we left and we plan on booking again in September. We caught the Bait fish then went out and got 4 sharks total one being an 8 foot 4 inch bullshark! He also cleaned it and gave us the meat to take home but the best out of all of it was he was just fun to be around and so knowledgeable about the Galveston Bay area ! We also met a few of the other captains on the dock and they were all wonderful!

The fishing trip was awesome! Me and my family caught a variety of fish although not big enough to keep. We thoroughly enjoyed it and our captain, Trey, was awesome as well. He baited our lines and took us around to plenty of fishing spots. We really enjoyed it!

We had 4 adults and 2 kids, and went out the day after Thanksgiving. Our guide , Mo, was great. He was extremely attentive and very patient with the younger and less experienced guys. Even though the weather was less than ideal, we all caught at least 2 fish , and everybody had a great time
