    A great life memory

    Half Day Trip – Spring Break (PM) on March 17, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Captaib Leaf was awesome and easy to talk to. this was my girls (8 and 6) first time on a boat and first time fishing and he made sure they had a blast. He put us on a bunch of sheepshead right away. Great trip for anyone looking to fry some fish at the end of the day.

    One days notice for a 1/2 day trip. Cole pit us on fish immediately. Stayed in the inland waters but caught redfish, sheepshead, trout, gar, catfish. He’s an excellent guide. Would use him again if we’re in the area

    Half day trip with Captain Leif and Cole

    Half Day Trip (PM) on April 23, 2021 • 4 adults

    Complete newbie and really enjoyed the inshore fishing trip from Freeport down to Brazos River. We caught a variety from red fish and flounder to catfish and blue crab. Captain Lief and Cole were very attentive and helpful guides! I appreciated how they were always fixing up our setup (even after our newbie mistakes) making sure we had working fishing poles with bait on our lines at all times to maximize the time! Highly recommend :)

    We had the best trip with Matt and Josh, we maxed out on our fish, and they took us to some amazing spots. We have never had such a great experience on a fishing tour, they were such a huge help, and very knowledgeable.
