I had initially booked a guided trip with a different organization that ended up being in Corpus Christy 3 hours away 🙃 which wasn’t going to work with our schedule. We simply went to **hidden content** to search for an alternative guided in our price range. That’s when we found Capt. Ruben Garcia. Capt. Garcia was in contact with us almost immediately and he was willing to answer any of our questions.

We meet up with Capt. Garcia the morning of July 19th 2024 at 0630. Capt. Garcia’s equipment is extremely well maintained, organized, and clean. Capt. Garcia is very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions you my have. We will definitely be back to go fishing with our new friend Capt. Ruben Garcia

Reel Off Charters, led by Captain Ruben, facilitated an unforgettable morning of fishing and relaxation against the stunning backdrop of a morning sunrise. From the outset, Ruben’s hospitality shone through as he expertly guided us through the experience, ensuring every detail was taken care of.

The decision to book with Ruben was a wise one, primarily driven by the ample seating options available on his boat, accommodating six passengers comfortably alongside the captain. The vessel itself was impeccably clean, reflecting Ruben’s commitment to providing a top-notch experience. Furthermore, the equipment was meticulously prepped and readily available, streamlining the process and allowing us to delve straight into the adventure.

Ruben’s local expertise was evident throughout the trip, as he navigated the waters with precision, moving to different spots to optimize our chances of catching fish. His years of experience were palpable, instilling confidence in each maneuver and ensuring a fruitful outing.

One aspect that truly stood out was Ruben’s inclusivity and warmth. Despite our unique circumstances with a disabled son, Ruben went above and beyond to ensure he felt not only included but genuinely enjoyed the excursion. This level of care and consideration elevated the experience for our entire group, fostering cherished memories that will be cherished for years to come.

In sum, our time with Reel Off Charters was nothing short of fantastic. From the breathtaking scenery to Ruben’s exceptional service and genuine hospitality, every aspect of the trip exceeded our expectations. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Ruben and Reel Off Charters to anyone seeking an unforgettable fishing adventure in the hands of a true professional.

Capt. Ruben was very knowledgable and service oriented. We had a morning trip with good weather conditions and fully capitalized on them! We nearly limited out on Black Drum and also landed 3 beautiful slot Redfish. Capt. Ruben was very helpful with the less experienced members of our party; encouraging and providing tips throughout the trip. Without a doubt would recommend him to anyone coming to the area whether it is your first or 50th time fishing. We will absolutely be booking with him for all of our future trips!

awesome day!

I have fished Laguna Madre for many years. Free fishing with croaker is the fastest way to catch game fish (trout, reds) while minimizing undesirable species (catfish, rays, perch). Everything eats shrimp, so you attract a fun variety with it. We caught plenty of different fish, including eel, whiting, croaker, perch, rays, too many catfish, nice black drum, and rarely a trout or small red. As experienced fishermen, we were really after trout, reds and flounder and caught no keepers. 😕 Capt Ruben is very friendly and has a very nice boat. I would recommend him for groups who want to see the variety Laguna Madre has to offer.
