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.

It was a tough day fishing, we did catch several trout but they were undersized. Capt. Ruben was great, helped my wife when needed, even threw out a couple of lines to hand off. I would book him again.

Captain Ruben was very professional yet he had an easy going personality. He educated us in this experience and was very attentive to our needs as new fisher people. We had amazing luck catching some big drum and a couple of beautiful, ginormous speckled trout. I will definitely book with Ruben again!

Thank you guys. It was a pleasure meeting you all and fishing with you. You guys did a fintastic 🤪 job landing those big trout and drum. You and your son had to split the fight with the big fish. What a work out! Fun time and tight lines.

Great experience! Captain Ruben was very informative and knowledgeable of the area. He was very friendly and helped us all out with putting on the bait and with the casting. My mother in law LOVED him! She and the rest of us send our thanks to him! We definitely would book again!

We had two younger kids (6 and 9) plus two 13 y/o. Reuben was great keeping them baited why the dads were working. Clean boat comfortable for the 6 of us and we caught plenty of fish on a short 3 hour trip. I recommend.
