a great trip for anyone looking to catch fish
4 Hour Bay/Jetty— Big Fish Combo! on April 1, 20263 adults
my sons (both teenagers) and my friend joined me for a 4 hour trip on the Gulf. they warned us of rough water but insisted we would be fine. either way, took us to several spots on the jettys where captain Zach took charge. baiting hooks with shrimp and playing excellent music while netting massive sheepshead, red fish and black drum. he kept extra rods baited and in the water to keep us on the bite the entire time. we moved to a few spots when the bite slowed and we caught over 30 fish on our 4 hour trip. filet's and all. captain Zach had a great attitude and was having just as much fun as we were. absolutely great time. would highly recommend sailing with these guys.

THE BEST CHARTER FISHING IN GALVESTON!
4 Hour Bay/Jetty— Big Fish Combo! on March 3, 20261 adult
Captain Zach is top notch. Excellent equipment, and truly takes your desire to catch fish as a personal mission. He put us on the fish I wanted to catch. I caught my limit of sheep head, puppy drum, along with red fish and huge black drum. This was fishing until your arms can't fight anymore. Fantastic guy to fish with, he truly takes your success as a personal mission. Then when finished and completely shot from catching so many fish I got to rest while he continued to bust his ass and clean all the fish for another 2 hours. Total attention to doing a great job. All bagged up and helped me get my catch to my cooler in my truck. This is who you want if you want the best in Galveston to fish with. Take my word on that.

Best Captain/Guide Ever!
2 harbor fishing — Beginners & Kids - 1:00 PM on May 15, 20263 adults
We had an absolute blast! Captain was great with planning a fun trip as we didn't have any specifics for him. We caught about 5 different species of fish and he also took us around to a few areas for site seeing! The boat was clean and well maintained as well! The Captain was very attentive with one of our inexperienced anglers so she could have a great time! 11/10 recommend! I am already planning another trip with them asap!

Great fishing trip!!
4 Hour Bay/Jetty— Big Fish Combo! on April 15, 20262 adults
I am thinking that Zach had some magic bait for us because there was another boat fishing off to the side of us and while they were there, they caught one fish and we caught 12 or 14 in the same time period. Zach helped us keep hooks in the water, quickly removing fish, rebaiting and even rerigging when we "caught" the occasional rock at the jetty. He was happy and cheerful the entire trip. Great guy, wouldn't hesitate to fish with him again. We caught 7 really nice keeper sheepshead and 5 or 6 other species that went back in the water . What a great fishing memory.

Great time fishing in Galveston
4 Hour Bay/Jetty— Big Fish Combo! on May 12, 20264 adults
Had an awesome time fishing with Captain Zack! He is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We caught sheepshead, redfish, a couple sharks and a ton of catfish. Captain Zack kept us with lines in the water and got us moved when the bites slowed down. 100% would charter with him again.
