This was my second trip with Steven.  We fished with Steven in 2021 with a party of 3.  On that trip, we caught our limit of both reds and black drum.  This year was a trip for two of us, my son and I.  Despite challenging weather and very strong winds, Steven still got us on the fish.  We limited out on reds.  Not only did he get us on the fish, but he got us on big fish.  The majority of the fish that went into the box were well beyond 20”.  We also tagged a couple oversized reds.  I will definitely use him again if I have the chance.

In a word, OUTSTANDING! Why? Steven is very professional, communicates in a timely manner, is calm and patient with his customers, is organized and ready before you get there and he works tirelessly to put you on fish, then makes sure you have someone to clean and bag them when you’re done catching them. We were greeted on time, with the boat in the water, ready to go as soon as we were situated and ready. We had a short ride out in the bay to our first fishing spot, but the fish were not cooperating, so Steven wasted no time moving to find fish. We hit “the honey Hole” and the fish rodeo was on until it was time to return. We limited out right about the time we were scheduled to return to the dock, so we made excellent use of the half day trip. We were very impressed with Steven’s boat and really liked the first class rods and reels he uses. Steven was patient and helpful, making sure we had fresh bait in the strike zone at all times while we were fishing. We had the inevitable line tangles that can happen when you get three fish on the lines at once, but Steven either directed us out of the situation or untangled it quickly if we got fouled up. Steven was calm, professional and humorous throughout the trip. We have fished from Alaska to Costa Rica, but I never knew you could have so much fun fishing from a boat in a foot of water 15 minutes from the dock. I would rate this fishing trip and Captain Steven in my top three and first in “class”. We will be returning to visit our friends in Port Aransas next year and will be booking another trip with Steven for sure. We highly recommend him!

Our first trip to fish the great talked about fishing destination of Port A. Myself, my 13 YO son and his friend. My son loves to fish and was so excited about this fishing trip. While Capt. Steven arrived in time and his boat and supplies were equipped to be on the water, he himself has a not so pleasurable personality. I have fished my whole life and know you don’t always catch fish…but when you’re the Captain of your boat, you make it enjoyable by your knowledge and personality. My son and his friend have never fished Port A, a little conversation to engage and tell them about the fishing in the area and a little about Port A would’ve been nice. Anything to interact and at least make the experience worth revisiting again whether fish are caught or not. I’ve been out with a lot of guides and this trip was just not one I’ll return to do.
