  Birthday Fishing Trip

  6 Hour Trip AM on May 28, 2022 • 6 adults • 1 child

  My birthday was this past May 2022, my wife’s gift was a fishing trip to South Padre. Captain JW and First Mate AJ were awesome! There were a total of four of us, Three Adults and one 11 year old. We did the 5 hour trip and every minute was worth it. When we got to our first spot, as soon as we dropped lines we were getting bites and catching fish. Captain JW knew exactly where to go and when the fish were biting. I would definitely recommend Captain JW and the 5 hour (or longer trip). On our trip we caught all Red Snapper. We caught total of 16 Red Snapper. Due to size we had to release 6, so we brought home 10 good sized Red Snapper.

  A Good 1/2 Days Catch

  5 Hour Trip (PM) on March 26, 2022 • 4 adults

  J.W. and A J. were awesome. We didn't have a good experience the previous year with a different company as there were about 40 people all fishing from one boat and we didn't catch anything big enough to keep. This year's trip with Captain J. W. was a far different outcome and a very satisfying experience. He put us on the fish and when we drifted away, he moved the boat back on them. We caught a lot of fish but many were too small to keep. It was a little early in the season for the Red Snapper although we did catch one big enough to keep. A. J. was always right there to take the fish off and rebait our hook so we could drop it back in the water. I would highly recommend J. W. for your private charter. His communication was excellent about the weather leading up to our trip and it was a beautiful day on the water. Thank you J. W. and A. J.
