    Great Day on the water!

    Half Day Trip Morning • 2 adults

    we started our trip an hour later due to weather and fishing reports. Captain was there at the dock and had everything ready upon arrival. Bay was calm and weather looked promising. The ride out to the selected fishing area was smooth and interesting ships and views to talk about. Upon stopping the fishing began. Wife and I started catching fish. Mangrove Snapper, as well as at least five other species. The Spotted Trout started biting after a short move. The Redfish remained hidden but the Trout and others posibly a shark kept us busy. We limited out on Trout and moved our location to find those Redfish. After fishing an hour after or more and no luck we headed back in. Upon arrival back at the docks we found out others also fishing that day didn’t hook up to any Redfish. The Captain wasted a lot of fuel attempting to locate those Redfish. But it was just the weather and timing they just weren’t biting this day. We had a great time the weather was comfortable and the Captain sure tried to make it better. We will be back and we will tell our friends of this fun trip fishing. Boat was clean and equipment in top notch condition. All safety rules were followed by the Captain and we had a wonderful day on the Bay. Kevin and Lisa Smith

    amazing

    Half Day Trip Morning • 2 adults

    Captin Dave was awsome. Showed up before scheduled time. Brought everything you needed. Water was a little rough but we all survived. 5 out of 5 stars. Would fish with him anyday any time. Not only a captin that knows his stuff he was safe in doing so. Best part about the whole trip besides his company is not a single person got hooked. just the fish. Thanks again captin Dave hope to see you in the future.

    Great Day on the Water with Captain David!

    Half Day Trip Morning • 2 adults • 1 child

    Had a blast on our half-day trip with Captain David! Fishing was slow to start, but we stayed patient and finished strong, reeling in plenty of fish and bringing home a few keepers. Captain David was friendly, knowledgeable, and great with my son, making the whole experience fun for both of us. If you’re in the Port Aransas/Corpus Christi area and want to get out on the water, book with Captain David. Highly recommend!

    Great Time

    Half Day Trip Morning • 3 adults

    Great time out on the water, captain did his best to get us on fish even though the fish didn't want to cooperate. I was just happy my son got to experience this and catch some fish.

    Red fish weren’t biting in the usual locations so the captain used his resources and pivoted to a new location and the bite was on with 24 keepers. manegrove snappers and sheepshead were biting.

    My twin boys are relatively new to fishing. Captain David took us to a great spot where they caught a total five red drums. Unfortunately we can only keep two but it was an awesome experience for them.

    Captain was very informative, put us on some good reds even 2 bulls that put up a great fight. And even some good catfish. Very friendly and knew the layout of the water really well. Would recommend to anyone that would love to spend a day out on the water with captain Lee

    David is a great Captain. My brothers and I enjoyed the day fishing as David takes care of everything. The Red Fish and Trout we caught were extremely good on the dinner table.

    We had a great time fishing with Captain David today. We caught a huge black drum along with a slot red early in the morning. Some other smaller fish throughout the day, but everyone had a great time. He was easy to contact and answer any questions I had, and was exactly where he said he would be in the morning. We even fished for more than five hours! He filleted our fish for us, and we are looking forward to enjoying our catch for dinner. He had some great tips to help us all become better fisherman, I would definitely go out with Captain David again!

    Five Stars – Great Time on the Water Had the pleasure of fishing with Captain David Lee out of Port Aransas, and it was an experience well worth talking about. From start to finish, David was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure we were in the right spots at the right time. We ended up landing six massive reds—including two impressive bulls—which made for an unforgettable day. David kept things smooth and dialed in the whole time. He clearly knows these waters and how to read the fish. If you’re looking for a solid trip with someone who truly puts in the work without making a big show of it, David’s your guy. Can’t recommend him enough. We’ll be back.
