I have been in customer service my whole life. waiter/bartender in college. I ran a pool service company for 10 years just for the love of water, you become part of peoples families and got to meet a lot of interesting people. I grew up on Galveston Bay fishing piers and wade fishing at the end of my street. It wasn't till I was invited on a guided fishing trip with a local guide Russell Grumbels did I see a full box of fish. Over the next 10 years I got to fish with Russell countless times until he retired. I learned a lot and stayed in touch. With a little push from friends and family I decide to go for it, I only wish I had done it earlier.

    Knowledgeable guide, made the best of less than optimal fishing conditions

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    My son and I booked Captain Tony to go fishing on labor day weekend, and we had a fantastic time. We wanted to target redfish and trout, and Tony took us to a couple of good spots in Rockport. We fished for about 5.5 hours, and we caught 3 redfish (including a 28 inch/8lb bull), 2 trout, an alligator gar, several catfish, even a blue crab at one point. Tony taught us the best strategies for our target species, and we got a lot of action on the water. Tony is a funny guy, respectful, very knowledgeable, and made the whole experience very pleasant. We both learned a lot from him! After we called it a day, Tony fileted all our fish on site. He’s got good equipment on his boat, and he was happy to answer any questions we had about his equipment. Highly recommend.

    Mother's Day Made Perfect

    Full Day Trip • 3 adults

    Capt Tony was a fantastic guide for my parents and I. From the get-go, Tony was light-hearted and welcoming which made us feel at ease going with a new fishing charter. His conversations and extensive knowledge of fishing and the local environment made the hours of fishing seem more fun. We caught a lot of fish, including a bull redfish, which was awesome! We almost limited out on speckled trout too. Capt. Tony is very accommodating and he went above and beyond for us. Since this trip was a mother's day gift to my mom, I had hoped it would be a great trip, but it turned out even better than we all had hoped and she was incredibly happy, so thank you again Tony! We'll be back!

    Captain Tony is a very knowledgeable guide. Transition periods between seasons can be challenging to catch fish. Fished with Tony for two days and we caught  decent numbers of redfish each day.
