Paul was great with my 9 y/o son teaching him the technique to catch our target fish. He was knowledgeable on all kinds of fish species that we were dragging up that we weren't targeting. Pictures won't do our trip any justice, we only kept 12(our groups trout limit) but caught somewhere between 60-90 fish.(we lost count) 8 hours of almost constant action. We will definitely be coming back to fish with Captain Paul again!
Captain Paul is an excellent guide and teacher. We took a young lady who had very little fishing experience and had never caught fish in salt water. She caught her very first trout, flounder and redfish. She caught a gaftop also. Great day on the water. Captain Paul, and the saltwater experience charter is outstanding and I would highly recommend going fishing with him.
Captain Paul took us to a variety if locations and we had a blast catching trout. We had dolphins around us most of the trip - which may not have been the best for us catching fish - and they were reallly fun to see so close. We highly recommend Captain Paul!
First time bay fishing for my 11 year old and he had a blast. Captain Paul was very knowledgeable about the area and where we would have the best chance of landing a big fish. Will definitely be coming back in the fall when the Reds are running.
Captain Paul was amazing with our 2 kids and so patient and knowledgeable. I would recommend him as a guide to anyone. Definitely looking forward to another trip with him in late October.
Captain arrived early, such an amazing comfortable boat! put us on the fish! And a really fun time was had by all! Thanks Captain Paul!

I booked my husband and I a fishing trip with Captain Paul and it was the best! Captain Paul is super laid back but passionate and truly loves what he's doing. We caught a good variety of fish because he really knows the waters. I learned a lot from him and I'm definitely rebooking in the future.
Captain Paul was great! Caught my biggest Red with him. 35 3/4” 🤙🏼

When from the south of the great state of Texas, something that is known to all anglers is, fishing the the inner coastal bay waters of the Texas Gulf Coast can be a shallow experience, no point intended. To have an Epic day on the water limiting-out on nice Reds and catching more than a few decent Black Drums requires having personal knowing experience or having professional experience with. Having Captain Paul Baucum with Saltwater Experience Charters was a blessing. After we got underway and a short 15 minute boat ride, Captain Paul put us on fish where it was on for the Epic day. Thanks Captain for a very Memorial Birthaday weekend.
You will first notice the beautiful boat before you even get in it. It outshines the rest. Captain Paul meets you with a firm handshake and a smile. He took us to all of his fishing spots. And if you're not catching anything he doesn't waste time, he will move on to his next fishing spot. On the day we went the fish weren't really biting, but we still caught a couple of keepers. Not to mention the two crabs and sting ray I caught, lol. He had plenty of live bait, and ice cold water for the taking. Captain Paul does his best to make sure you don't go home empty handed. The only issue I had is that it was too hot. But of course he can't do anything about that, lol.
