    Great trip!!

    Half Day - Bay Fishing Trip - 1:00 PM on October 9, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    My family and I recently enjoyed an outstanding experience with The Best Fishing Charter, and it exceeded all of our expectations. Both of my boys had an absolute blast, and we were thrilled to catch a variety of fish, including redfish, perch, and trout. The crew went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a memorable experience, with special attention given to making sure my sons—especially my 7-year-old—felt fully included and successful. He ended up catching the most fish of the day and is still talking about the trip. I have no doubt this is a memory he will cherish for years to come. From start to finish, the team’s professionalism, patience, and genuine enthusiasm made this outing truly special for our family. We highly recommend The Best Fishing Charter to anyone looking for a fun, successful, and family-friendly fishing experience.

    Time well spent

    Half Day - Bay Fishing Trip on July 30, 2026 • 4 adults

    Such a great time! Captain Elton and his wife made the trip so enjoyable. Extremely knowledgeable of the area, types of fish and very personable making the trip super enjoyable. Very accommodating to all levels of fishing; from those like me who needed them to bait and cast to those like my son who needed very little assistance. We maybe didnt end up with the big catch we hope but we able to gather up a little shark and some trout. Unfortunately you cant control the water or the fish but Captain Elton went above and beyond to deliver the best chances possible. Would definitely recommend and will use again on our trips to Port A.

    I had great experience being guided around new waters i have never been to or experienced.

From helping us get set up , keep us baited up, and taking pictures and videos of your experience with them.They have spent countless hours scouting and learning waters to ensure thry can offer the best trips possible. Very helpful and professional and not afraid to share their knowledge and experience. They were able to put us on some fish on our very first cast.

    Birthday Trip

    Half Day - Bay Fishing Trip - 1:00 PM on July 12, 2026 • 4 adults

    We ended up catching redfish, flounder, trout, catfish, toadfish, and pinfish, so we stayed busy. Captain Elton was helpful, respectful, and knowledgable of the area. He did everything he could to keep us on fish and never stopped working to make sure we had the best chance of catching something. There were no surprises, communication was great, and the entire experience was exactly what you’d hope for when booking a charter. If you’re looking for a captain who’s professional, honest, and genuinely wants his clients to have a great time, this is the one. I recommend!

    Fish On!!!

    Veterans - Bay Fishing Trip on September 29, 2026 • 1 adult

    What an amazing experience. We were on & catching Redfish, Shark, Sheepshead, and Speckled Trout. Saw a Hummingbird in the middle of the bay, caught trout in the rain, and were just Blessed with a fantastic day. Awesome experience. I live in Corpus but will make the drive to where a Captain puts you on fish and sends ‘em home filled and on ice. This is what a fishing charter is all about. Thank you. Best day on the water in a very long time.

    Awesome trip

    Half Day - Bay Fishing Trip on October 9, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Elton was a blast to fish with and made every effort to make our trip enjoyable! He asked us for pur target fish and catered our trip to that choice. despite tough conditions due to a hurricane in the Gulf pushing water to much higher levels than normal, he still put us on fish. After we limited out on the firs target fish, he put us on other fish. We all had a good time and would definitely book with him again.

    Half Day - Bay Fishing Trip on October 12, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Elton was going to make sure we were successful and had a great trip. He had to try a few different locations and different baits, but he put us on fish! I had never caught a redfish before this trip, and today, including the ones too small to keep, I got five! All three fishermen in my party caught fish and had a great time!
