Half Day Trip (PM) on February 16, 2025

Great Guide and First Mate

VERIFIED

Anyone interested in having a first class experience primarily for Specks, Reds, Flounder, Black Drum, and Sand Trout booking Cat 5 for half day as we did or whole day is about as good as it gets. Organized, knowledgeable, sophisticated, professional and very focused on clients having a great experience. Probably the best experience I have had with any guide/crew in 45 years of fishing bays and estuaries of the Louisiana and Texas gulf coast. Very reasonably priced and exceeded my expectations...

Fishing trip was great! You must book!

VERIFIED

Capt Bradley and his nephew was nothing short of amazing to fish with. Put us on the fish early on and was patient with my young man who kept slinging bait off every cast. Highly recommend booking your fishing trip with them!
