We had an awesome fishing trip with Mario! From the moment we got on the boat, he kept the energy high with great jokes, good conversation, and an all-around fun atmosphere. He clearly knows the water and the best fishing spots, and it was impressive to see him working with other boaters to stay on the fish throughout the day.

The music was great, the conversations were entertaining, and there was never a dull moment. Mario’s knowledge, experience, and connections made for a successful trip, and his personality made it even better. If you’re looking for a guide who knows where to find fish while making sure everyone has an amazing time, I highly recommend booking a trip with Mario. We’ll definitely be back!

Had an awesome day out with Mario! We had a tough bite to work through, but Mario kept adjusting tactics, stayed positive, and kept us in the game until we started putting keepers in the box along with a bunch of put-backs. His knowledge and prep made the whole day easy and stress-free.

What really stood out was how he made it special for my 9-year-old son, not just me and my brother. He was funny, friendly, and patient the whole trip, and we walked away with some real core memories.

The charters also worked great together, sharing info and tactics to help everyone find fish. Already looking forward to booking another trip with Mario. Highly recommend!

This was our family’s first-ever charter fishing experience, and Mario completely exceeded every expectation we had. He definitely raised the bar for any future charter we book.

We were looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing trip, and he absolutely delivered. Mario worked hard to keep us on fish all day and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. He was friendly, easy to talk to, and our boys connected with him right away.

Mario took care of everything behind the scenes—from baiting hooks and safely handling the fish to teaching us along the way—so all we had to do was enjoy the excitement of reeling them in. It made for such a fun, stress-free experience for our whole family.

We chose to do catch and release, and what a day it was! These photos are just a few of the fish we caught. We landed 15+ redfish (we honestly lost count after 15), plus a catfish and even a tilapia. It was an incredibly successful day on the water!

His boat was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of shade, which made a huge difference on a hot Texas day. We never felt rushed and were able to relax, laugh, and simply enjoy the experience.

We left with incredible memories, our phones full of photos and videos, and a family already talking about our next trip.

The biggest compliment we can give is this: before we even made it home, both of our boys said that every time we come to San Antonio, they want to go fishing with Mario. That’s about as good of a review as you can get.

We had an amazing time on our fishing trip with Mario as our guide! He was incredibly fun, hilarious, and so down-to-earth—it felt like spending the day on the water with an old friend. He kept the energy up the entire trip, and we caught a ton of fish!

The whole experience was perfect. The vibes couldn’t have been better, making it an unforgettable Father’s Day outing with my friends. If you’re looking for a guide who’s knowledgeable, personable, and knows how to put you on fish while making sure everyone has a great time, Mario is the one to book. Highly recommend!

grandkids had a great time. All four grandkids caught red fish and one cat. They can’t wait to go back to Captain Mario Martinez.
