Captain
Ruben Garcia

Member since July 2018 Port Isabel, United States

Background: Captain Ruben Garcia has been fishing since he was 5 years old and loves being on the water. He has been fishing for over of a quarter of a decade and comes from a family of fisherman. The captain is very familiar with the area surrounding Port Isabel around 60 miles. He's quite proud of his boat – it's one of the biggest bay fishing boats in the area. It has powerful engines so he can go to various places quicker and spend less time traveling to the location. All aboard!
Techniques: I fish using live bait and lures, while anchored or drifting. I like all styles of fishing and will use any style needed to catch fish on a particular day.

5 Hour Trip (PM)

Our group of four had an amazing day on the water. First cast out and we brought in a fish. The captain was very knowledgeable and kept us on fish. He took the time to teach us about each spot we fished and where we should be casting. He went above and beyond to make sure we caught fish we were able to keep. The boat is new and spotless. I can’t recommend this enough!

Loaded on the boat, just the ride to the spot was awesome if you’ve never been out especially in the Bay, put us right on the fish quick and had a great time, even my 4 year old was in on the action! Ran in to some heavy rain on way back but Ruben Garcia knows how to handle his boat in unpredictable situations! will be back soon!
