Diana FlynnRepeat angler•Tucson, AZ, US•Member since 201811 trips5.0VerifiedBay Fishing With Captain Steven Simanek
5 Hour Trip (AM) on March 4, 2021 • 3 adultsIn a word, OUTSTANDING! Why? Steven is very professional, communicates in a timely manner, is calm and patient with his customers, is organized and ready before you get there and he works tirelessly to put you on fish, then makes sure you have someone to clean and bag them when you're done catching them. We were greeted on time, with the boat in the water, ready to go as soon as we were situated and ready. We had a short ride out in the bay to our first fishing spot, but the fish were not cooperating, so Steven wasted no time moving to find fish. We hit "the honey Hole" and the fish rodeo was on until it was time to return. We limited out right about the time we were scheduled to return to the dock, so we made excellent use of the half day trip. We were very impressed with Steven's boat and really liked the first class rods and reels he uses. Steven was patient and helpful, making sure we had fresh bait in the strike zone at all times while we were fishing. We had the inevitable line tangles that can happen when you get three fish on the lines at once, but Steven either directed us out of the situation or untangled it quickly if we got fouled up. Steven was calm, professional and humorous throughout the trip. We have fished from Alaska to Costa Rica, but I never knew you could have so much fun fishing from a boat in a foot of water 15 minutes from the dock. I would rate this fishing trip and Captain Steven in my top three and first in "class". We will be returning to visit our friends in Port Aransas next year and will be booking another trip with Steven for sure. We highly recommend him!

Full Day Trip on June 7, 2023 • 3 adultsHad a absolutely amazing day fishing, caught my new personal best red fish. I would 100% recommend fishing with captain Steven already looking to book another trip this fall.
Matthew MorreyRepeat angler•San Antonio, TX, US•Member since 201910 trips4.7VerifiedTough day in the fog
5 Hour Trip (AM) on February 25, 2023 • 4 adults • 2 childrenIn spite of a rough start with heavy fog, Captain Steve made the best of it - we landed one nice red, and had several other hits. Apparently we weren’t the only ones having a tough day landing fish, but Captain Steve made the most of the day - would definitely use again!
Scott Johnson•Texas, USMember since 20225.0VerifiedOkay lost my head.
5 Hour Trip (PM) on September 2, 2022 • 2 adultsOkay- started slow as the fish were just not biting. But never feared, Capt. Steven knows a thing or two or three.. Steven is constantly looking for the fish, constantly working and watching the lines.. the dude knows the bays.. Like I said started slow but finished strong.. Capt. Steven is not interested in trophy bait… You’ll see…
Chris WallaceRepeat angler•Texas, US•Member since 20183 trips5.0VerifiedGreat trip

Great Time
5 Hour Trip (AM) on July 5, 2021 • 4 adults • 2 childrenMy family of four went out with Captain Steven for the morning. My two daughters 7 and 11 both caught fish including a 28 inch red from my 11 year old pulled in. Steven was wonderful at finding the fish, getting everything bait up and helping reel in while letting the girls experience it for themselves as well. We hit a rain storm and he got us through it to the other side of the bay to ensure we could still fish. We can’t wait to go again!

This was our first guided fishing trip with the family, and after a slow start we each caught a fish. The captain was knowledgeable and helpful. Before the arranged meet up time, we got a call from the captain while we were on the ferry before. He let us know that the boat had two dead batteries, and pushed the start time back two hours. Since we were up and in the area, we went to a local restaurant for second breakfast. When we got to the dock, the captain was there; he got the batteries sooner than he expected. We are not sure how many minutes of early morning fishing we may have missed, but we loaded and left quickly. Once aboard, the trip was smooth, and the captain baited and cast our lines. We moved to several locations and we each ended catching a fish. Overall, the trip was good
Thanks Cowboy seaya next time
We have been fishing with Steven a couple of times and we always catch fish. This trip was no different. He picked us up according to plan at 0630 and we headed out to the happy fishing grounds. Lines were in the water by 0700 and we had a limit before 0900. There were no fish under 8 pounds, we had fantastic time reeling in these lunkers. What a great morning to be on the water. Thank you again Steven for a great trip. Kevin & Heidi.

Your captain
Port Aransas, Texas, United States
I was born and raised here in Port Aransas and I've been fishing these waters for over 30+ years. I try and fish 360 days a year whether it's with clients or myself, so to say I've got lots of knowledge of the surrounding bays. I like to site cast for Redfish.
