    Excellent Experience!

    Am trip • 2 adults

    Highly recommend Captain Larry, he put us on the fish shortly into our fishing trip. We tagged out for the day very quickly on spotted trout then went on to find some red snapper. Unfortunately none in the area that day but we did catch & release a few more large spotted trout. We’ll likely book an all day trip next time! Thanks Larry! Zane & Angela from San Antonio

    Fantastic

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Larry was top-notch! Even with a slow bite, he worked hard to put us on fish and made sure we had a great time. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and kept the energy up the whole trip. Highly recommend!

    I would recommend going out with captain Larry any time he actually moved our trip up by a couple of hours to give us the best chance to catch fish. Me and my son had fun we did nit catch a lot of keepers but we still had fun catching fish even if they were not any keepers.

    Larry was a great captain. Easy to work with. Did what he said he was going to do and did a great job. We had a wonderful time fishing and enjoyed time out on the water. Larry was easy to talk to, had a great demeanor and put us on some fish.

    I booked this trip for my husband as a surprise. Captain Larry was great communicating with how the trip would go, what to bring, where to meet, etc. He did say that it was a slower day but my husband got 4 keeper sheepshead. He said they caught some smaller ones and other fish species as well. Overall it was a great trip and my husband can't wait to come back in the summer to fish for Snook!

The water is starting to cool down but the fishing stays hot. Find a bay fishing guide to take you after Redfish and Snook. If you're heading far out, you may come across Tuna, Wahoo, and even Sailfish.
