3/4 Day Trip on August 5, 2023 • 3 adultsCapt. Mike put us on the fish every spot we stopped. Zero issues with the equipment provided. We gave Capt. Mike very little information leading up to the trip and still made sure we had a great time out on the water. He was very patient with us "fishermen" and listened to our needs. I would not hesitate to charter with Capt. Mike again! Great experience.

Half Day Trip on July 19, 2023 • 2 adults • 1 childI have not been with another captain who wants you to catch fish as much as Captain Mike. Even though it was hard to find the fish, he didn't give up. I had a great time and highly recommend him. He has so much experience that he always has another spot to try. Came home with plenty of fish and had a lot of fun.
Evan FlowersRepeat angler•Missouri, US•Member since 20212 trips5.0VerifiedEventful morning of shark fishing!
3/4 Day Trip – Shark Fishing (3MAX) on August 19, 2022 • 2 adultsRegardless of the bad and unfortunate weather, captain mike braved through a thunderstorm and got us on some sharks. He kept us safe and out of the elements and was very in tune with the weather and the fishing. Very happy with the service he provided and will be booking again. Thank you!

Had a Great time! the experience was great, Captain Michael hospitality and experience made the trip fun and wonderful, I would recommend this trip with Captain Michael for anyone.
Mike was a great guide! We got out there early, hit the limit in an hour, and had great conversation. He coached me through how to do everything myself and taught me a lot. He also cleaned the fish and was a great photographer. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trip and I’ll definitely book with him again.

Your captain
Galveston, Texas, United States
Captain Mike started fishing at the tender age of 6, going out with his dad and learning how to cast for and hook his first fish. Years later, while Mike worked at the oil refinery, he was also guiding part-time on the weekends. Once he retired, he took to guiding full time. Mike has over 20 years of guiding experience on the Gulf Coast.
