I learned how to fish predominantly from my grandfather and my uncle here in Galveston Bay. Then, I continued to learn from them on Lake Livingston. I have always had a great love for fishing and the outdoors. On my father's side of the family, I am from 19 generations of commercial fishermen originating from the Isle of Vis in Croatia. My father passed when I was very young and without his influence, I studied graphic design and business. Eventually found my way on my own back to fishing. For the past 8 years I have never been happier than being a charter fishing guide. I really enjoy learning more each day and teaching others techniques, and I love spending time working with children on their fishing techniques and help to build their character.

    great 1st time trip for young boys

    2 Hour Trip – Beginner / Family • 4 adults • 2 children

    we had a great time with Captain Zach. it was our 2 son's 1st time on a boat and he made sure they were safe and comfortable on the ride out to the fishing spot. took us by the cruise terminals and around some of the other big boats out there. he was patient with the boys asking alo of questions and making sure they always had bait in the water. we caught several trout bt nothing big enough keep. overall was a great 2 hour trip and will definitely book a longer trip next time we're down there.

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout
    Redfish

    Birthday Trip

    Half Day Trip – Jetty • 4 adults

    The weather was definitely not the best but some parts of the trip the sun came out and was absolutely perect. We didnt catch much but had the best time. Was so worried about bringing “typical country teen boys,” but come to find out our captain was actually perfect for us. Honestly, if i had to do it again i would have booked a longer trip. Half day didnt seem ling enough for us. We are already planning on booking again soon.

    Can't be beat!!

    2 Hour Trip – Beginner / Family - 3:30 PM • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Zach was phenomenal! He was fantastic with our 6 ad 11 year old. He took us to see dolphins and we were so much closer than the dolphin tours. He kept us baited up and knew so much about each fish we caught. We caught a bunch of trout that he cleaned for us at the dock. We will absolutely come see him again next year!

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout

    Captain Zach was very good with our family. He stayed very polite and positive the whole time. Our 8 year old daughter had a blast on her second fishing trip ever.

    Zach was a great guide. My nephew, who was in from Arkansas, had a fabulous time conversing and fishing with Zach, as did I. Good fishing , music and conversating the entire time.
