Bradley Case•
Oklahoma, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedNewGreat Day on the Water
Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) on September 6, 2026 • 2 adultsBooked a very last-minute trip with Always an Adventure for my 14-year-old son and me, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Captain Dale and Bear had us on fish all day, but honestly, even if the fish hadn’t been cooperating, it still would’ve been a great day on the water. He made the whole trip fun, relaxed, and memorable for both of us. We had an awesome time, and I’ll definitely be booking with Captain Dale again in the future. Highly recommend!
Enrique PadronRepeat angler•Texas, US•Member since 20253 trips5.0VerifiedNewAnother trip in the books with great memories
Full Day Trip – Inshore on September 12, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Dale was phenomenal and had great experience and knowledge on catching the target species. I even caught my first redfish and it was a big one. Captain Dale will take you where they’re at and make sure the lines stay tight. Will be booking again

Full Day Trip – Inshore on April 25, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Dale was excellent with our 2 grandsons. We caught a lot of fish on this trip. Would recommend going on a trip with him everytime. Thanks Captain Dale we asked the boys how they felt about the day and they were very positive and complimentary in short; the boys had a fantastic time today. Darrell
Luke Christen•Texas, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedAwesome Family Trip
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on April 11, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Dale was amazing with our group of 6. We ranged from 4-70 and he knew how to handle the whole group. We had beginners and seasoned vets. Everyone caught, laughed, and made plenty of memories.
Patrick Meakins•Idaho, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedCaptain Dale is an absolute 10!
3/4 Day Trip – Inshore on March 13, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCouldn't ask for a better experience! We brought 3 kids 5, 3, 1, Captain Dale could not have been a better host! We were very specific about our outing ambitions as we were unsure of how it would go with our kids. He made it work the best and still put us on some great fish! 10 out of 10 I would recommend Captain Dale!
Charlie Houchins•Missouri, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedAwesome trip
3/4 Day Trip – Inshore on June 4, 2026 • 5 adultsCapt Dale put us on a bunch of big trout and we limited out pretty early. He tried to put us on some reds but they just weren't biting. Definitely recommend
Megan HartsochRepeat angler•North Dakota, US•Member since 20223 trips5.0VerifiedGreat day on the water!
3/4 Day Trip – Inshore on March 19, 2026 • 5 adultsWe had a great day fishing with Captain Dale! We caught enough for dinner and had quite a few catch and release. Dale was very friendly and easy to spend the day with!
Gregory Carlson•Texas, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedThe most fun!
Full Day Trip – Inshore on November 29, 2025 • 6 adultsWe had a great time out on the boat today! Captain Dale is a fun guy and brought us to the fish! i highly recommend!
Steven Deceilio•Florida, USMember since 20255.0Verified⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Captain Dale: The Fish Whisperer
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on March 26, 2025 • 6 adults • 3 childrenIf patience is a virtue, then Captain Dale is a saint—because we tested his limits. Between our tangled lines, questionable casting skills, and an impressive ability to miss every bite, he somehow kept his cool and still put us on fish. He knows these waters so well, we started to suspect he might have gills himself. He tells a mean fish story and has a laugh that could scare the scales off a redfish. If you want a great day on the water, book with Captain Dale—just be ready for some world-class storytelling and a few fish-related dad jokes along the way.
Wayne Seeley•Oklahoma, USMember since 20254.7VerifiedCatain Dale was fantastic
Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) on October 14, 2025 • 6 adultsCatain was very personable but the fishing was tough.

Booked a very last-minute trip with Always an Adventure for my 14-year-old son and me, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Captain Dale and Bear had us on fish all day, but honestly, even if the fish hadn’t been cooperating, it still would’ve been a great day on the water. He made the whole trip fun, relaxed, and memorable for both of us. We had an awesome time, and I’ll definitely be booking with Captain Dale again in the future. Highly recommend!
It was a pleasure fishing with you and your son and I enjoyed watching him reeling in the big ones. He is a very well mannered boy and loved bis highly intelligent conversations" He is welcome on my boat anytime 😁 I'm looking forward to the next Adventure when the weather gets a little cooler outside 😜 and the fish get bigger....Thank you again for choosing Always An Adventure Fishing Guide Service and have safe travels back....Hope to see ya'll soon 🙏 Sincerely, Capt Dale
If you’re thinking about booking with Always An Adventure Guide Service… quit thinking and do it! Capt. Dale flat-out knows how to find fish. We caught our limit of speckled trout, landed an absolute stud of a 29-inch speckled trout, and then he put us on redfish just because he wasn’t finished showing off. Turns out his slogan, “Size Does Matter,” isn’t just a slogan—it’s the truth! His first mate, Mr. Bear, deserves a raise. He may have four legs, but he’s better behaved than most fishing buddies and definitely adds to the experience. And let’s talk about the snacks… Capt. Dale’s jalapeño & cheese deer jerky ought to be illegal. Between the fishing and that jerky, I wasn’t sure which one I was looking forward to more. I might have to book another trip just for the jerky… the fish are just a bonus. If you want a guide who works hard, keeps you laughing, puts you on fish, and treats you like family, Capt. Dale is your guy. We made memories that will last a lifetime, and we’ll definitely be back. Five stars isn’t enough!
Hey Jeremy it was my pleasure fishing with ya'll It’s not everyday I find someone who loves fishing and enjoying the outdoors as much as ya'll do. I wish I had more clients who did the same" watching ya'll reel in the big one's AND the smaller ones as well was like watching 2 kid's in a candy store enjoying everything they see. I really hope ya'll return for another memorable adventure" and Mr.Bear also says hello as well....Thanks again for choosing Always An Adventure Fishing Guide Service and I hope to fish with ya'll again in the near future.... Sincerely, Capt Dale
Captain Dale was phenomenal and had great experience and knowledge on catching the target species. I even caught my first redfish and it was a big one. Captain Dale will take you where they’re at and make sure the lines stay tight. Will be booking again
It was great watching you catch your 1st redfish I thought is was gonna kick ur a$$ there for a second 🤣 I'm glad ya'll had a great time and caught ALOT of fish and looking forward to fishing with ya'll again in the near future....Ya'll did a great job" Thanks again for choosing Always An Adventure Fishing Guide Service" See ya soon!!

Your captain
Corpus Christi, Texas, United States
Been fishing since I could hold a fishing pole and have been hooked every since. Now I get the privilege of taking others to enjoy the great outdoors and making memories with their family and friends and giving them a fishing experience of a lifetime. There is nothing like seeing a child or even a grown up catching a fish for the first time and watching the excitement of what it's like to truly enjoy the being out on the water. I got the name Always An Adventure because it is one thing you can count on when fishing with me. A true Adventure in the beautiful waters that God has created.
