5 Hour Trip (AM) on June 29, 20262 adults

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.

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.
