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

Jul 2, 2024 Houston

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

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

Great experience, almost limited out due to his scouting and overall knowledge of the area, no other crew caught anything but captain David kept getting us on all the fish consistently and helped us learn how to fish in the unfamiliar waters. Working with him was an easy transition like we had been fishing together all our lives and he was very prepared for the entire experience.
