What an amazing team! our Capt. & 1st Mate met us at the dock with smiles, professional appearance, excitement, and enthusiasm that was contagious with our 2 adult, and 2 grandchildren (8 & 7) fishing party that lasted through our entire 2hr fishing introduction charter. Within our very short time charter we caught 6 legal size Black Drum, 1 Sheep Head, a very large Blue Crab, 1 Toad Fish, and 2 small Sting Rays. Our Get Hooked crew were kept very busy keeping every pole on the boat baited... More

This was my first time fishing in the Gulf, and let me tell you, we were as excited as kids in a candy store—if the candy store was full of fish and the kids were slightly hungover. My buddy was on a mission: to catch a large red fish, because apparently, in Texas, known for them large reds . So, off we went, and the captain was like a fish whisperer. The first spot we hit, my buddy pulls up this enormous red fish. I swear, this thing was so big, I half-expected it to start asking for... More

The captain was wonderful with my kids. They caught so many fish and had a really great experience all around. The next time were in the area, we are for sure booking again but next time, probably off shore since the kids are comfortable now going on a boat and have more knowledge on how to fish!

We had an awesome time on our fishing charter! Mo and Caleb were amazing — super fun, easygoing, and incredibly helpful the whole trip. They kept the energy up, made sure everyone was having a great time, and put us right on the fish. Thanks to them, we caught a ton and made some great memories. Highly recommend this charter if you’re looking for a fun and successful day on the water!
