Almost rescheduled this trip!!

Apr 25, 2025 Houston

Bachelor party trip!! Bay was brackish, and winds picked up quickly, but we managed to snag a few keepers in-between small ones.

Another fun and successful trip

Jul 4, 2024 Houston

Even tho the water was fresh and extremely slow tides i knew exactly where you put my clients on fish. They dialed in and couldn't stop catching.

This return client is addicted. Happy 25

You know you are a great guide when your return client for the 25th trip keeps catching fish and says hes addicted.

Double boat trip full of trash talk

These girl kicked their dads butt in fis

Mar 12, 2023 Houston

It was a rough windy morning trip but there was a couple spots i knew could hold fish and calm waters. The bite started slow but these girls stuck with it and got their limits. A lot of small fish with a few keepers within.

Saltwaters back and fish are hungry!

Nov 4, 2022 Houston

So the reds and black drum are back in. The trout are hungry and waiting to be caught!!

This was the worse fishing trip due to no catch at all to take home. I didn’t know if the captain didn’t know the spots or it was just bad but I wouldn’t never do this trip again

Sorry you feel that way. Due to the weather we did warn you that we might have trouble catching fish. We did catch fish but was not of legal size something i can not control. Once again im sorry you felt like it was a bad trip.

The fishing was alright, but the trip was very unorganized. Just to find bait took almost an hour to get there then backtracked to fishing spots. The trip included lunch but the resteraunt we were supposed to go to had not been open in some time. Lost more time looking for somewhere to eat. We caught 20+ fish and the captain said he would clean and ship the fish home to us but after 2 weeks we have not seen anything of them. Haven’t been able to contact captain to check on shipment. Would not... More
