We booked a half day trip with Captain Russ and we had a blast. Captain Russ knew exactly where to go to catch the big ones. We caught plenty of fish and it was so much fun.

Holy pelican poop…best time fishing my wife and I have ever had. The captain knew the bay like it was his backyard kiddy pool, magically put us on the fish everywhere we went. And probably the nicest dude in Texas (sorry prez bush). We will be back. P. S. I still think it was a tiger shark that stole my bait!
