    Absolutely the Best trip of all dozen that we have been on!

    22 Hr – Offshore Adventure • 2 adults

    we drove 10 1/2 hours to fish with Captain Robert on why knot charter. previously we always drove to desting as it was closer, but it was always the same ole type of “fishing”. get on a boat, drop your bait reel in a couple smaller fish and go home. But with Captain Robert, first i woild say he by far was the most interactive captain, very involved , and clearly have a strong passion and loves what he does! we were debreifed before setting out, and he got insight on exactly what we wanted to do/experience, and what we wanted to catch. He definitely put us in the right spots at the right times of the day. everything was well prepped on the boat. he encouraged and was equally as excited anytime we had a good bite. i could go on and on, but dont want to lose your attention. nonetheless, we will only fish in freeport Tx with Robert here on out. Save your time and money and fish with the best.

    Amazing Trip!

    12 Hr – Snapper and Kingfish • 5 adults

    We had a great trip with Capt. Robert! We had 6 people in our party. I selected Robert based on the info on his page. No prior knowledge of him or previous trips. We definitely picked the right team! The boat was great. Big enough for all of us. The AC worked well and the boat was clean and comfortable. The seas were rough on our way out, but Robert had us fishing quickly, stopping first to troll for king. We didn't catch anything at the first stop so we headed further out for our Snapper. That's where the fun began. Robert and his deckhand James worked hard to get us on the fish. We were able to get our limit on Snapper and we then trolled more for King and other species. We found a spot that yielded us a boat full of dorado and a cobia! I can't say enough good things about our trip. We're already planning for next year. Everyone in our group caught fish, enjoyed the day and appreciated the excitement from Robert and James about what we were catching. Great day, great experience, great crew! Highly recommend!

    Absolute Blast!

    22 Hr – Offshore Adventure • 6 adults

    Wonderful time out with Captain Robert and crew. They worked hard for us from start to finish. He asked what we wanted to catch before we left the dock and then made the plan. He knew where to go and how to get it done. Bite was tough due to the full moon but he still got us fish in the boat. Will be booking with him again in the future and recommending to anyone asks .

    Reported catch:

    12 Hr – Snapper and Kingfish • 6 adults

    Captain Robert and his Deck Hand provided top-notch service and a very fun, memorable day. Everyone of our motley crew managed to catch limit and some relaxing r&r. The boat and tackle wete excellent, as was Captain Robert’s knowledge of where and how to land a variety of fish. We will definitely be back again.
