    Great fishing experience

    7 Hour Trip – Inshore β€’ 2 adults β€’ 1 child

    Even though the weather was not ideal, we still managed to hook up on some fish. Captain Kevin and his Co-Captain Rodger were very accommodating and great company to have on board. They were extremely patient with my 6 yr old son and teaching him how to fish and helping him hook up on the biggest fish he has caught thus. I had a great time, with a great crew, and on a very comfortable boat. Definitely looking forward to booking with this crew again in the future!

    Reported catch:
    Black Drum
    Flounder
    Redfish

    Great first trip with my son!!

    7 Hour Trip – Inshore β€’ 2 adults β€’ 1 child

    Booked a trip with Capt. Kevin for a Friday full day inshore. I told him I was bringing my son for his first fishing trip. The communication was great after booking. Kevin was great with my son - patient while showing him key things to remember. And be put us on the fish across multiple spots. We caught close to two dozen fish total for the day - encompassing at least 6 different species. The boat was top notch and so was the Captain!!

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout
    Black Drum

    First time fishing out of Corpus Christi. Kevin showed me the ropes and put us on the fish. Had an incredible adventure. Definitely going to book in October when the Reds are running.
