James Nemger5.0VerifiedBest trip ever!
Half Day Trip (am) • 4 adultsAbsolutely incredible fishing trip! From start to finish, Captain Reuben made sure we had an amazing experience. He knew exactly where to go and kept us on fish the entire time. We ended up limiting out on trout and honestly caught so many fish we lost count! The boat was clean, the gear was top-notch, and the overall vibe was fun and laid-back. Whether you’re experienced or new to fishing, this charter is the real deal. Highly recommend—can’t wait to book again!

Sven ProeseRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCpt Ruben is great with kids and beginners
Half day trip (pm) • 2 adults • 1 childMy son's comment when I told him I'm gonna write a review: Just write 'Thank you for the awesome trip.' I couldn't agree more. Captain Ruben went out of his way to make sure my 5y old had a great time on the water. As it was just me and my son Cpt Ruben joined in to double the chances and happily handed over the rod to my son each time he had a fish on. He genuinely enjoyed teaching my son, was patient and as happy as me about my son's excitement. Every spot he took us to produced fish. He filleted our catch and a local restaurant prepared it for us in the evening. Just a great ending to a perfect day on the water.

David PiperRepeat angler5.0VerifiedA great day on the Laguna Madre
Half Day Trip (am) • 2 adultsCaptain Ruben was very knowledgeable and friendly. Most of all, he was patient. He even taught me some new fishing styles. We quickly caught our limit of trout and then spent the rest of the time looking for other species. A good time for sure. Will repeat.

Half day trip (pm) • 3 adultsCaptain Ruben is a great guy and very knowledgeable. He treated me and both my sons like we were old friends while teaching us things we didn't know. The speckled trout are an exciting fish. We even caught a couple small sharks.
