I spent 20 years in the military and was always stationed near the water. So when I got out in 2017 my family and I wanted to settle near the coast. Since moving to the Texas coast in 2017 I fell in love with fishing and I spend all my free time on the water. When fishing I'm usually catering to family and friends making sure they are catching fish and having a good time. I discovered I preferred fishing in the company of others even more than fishing by myself so I decided to become a guide.

    Perfect, family friendly trip!

    3/4 Day Trip – Jetty (AM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    Captain Eric is a great guide. Knowledgeable about the area and techniques for catching fish. We had a great time and caught a lot of really interesting fish! As a bonus, he's incredibly patient with young kids (we brought our 5 and 7 year old). Eric's calm personality and his own natural curiosity make him a great teacher for young kids (and adults) out on the water. Would absolutely recommend Captain Eric and plan on booking him again soon!

    Fishing with the Family

    5 Hour Trip – Jetty (PM) • 5 adults

    We were in Galveston for a short family vacation, so we didn't have much flexibility in picking our day for fishing. We picked the best option and went with it. Eric and his daughter, Tiger, couldn't have been nicer. We stopped at several places, and Eric was constantly rigging poles with the proper equipment and bait. If we wanted to try something else, he'd be right on it. The weather just wasn't the greatest for fishing, but we still caught a couple of really nice fish. All in all, we had a great time, and I would book with them again.

    Cpt Eric Provided Us A Great Experience

    3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore • 4 adults

    Four friends did the 6 hour charter with Cpt Eric. Due to storm debris concerns we waited until light to depart and it was total safe travel the entire day. We caught trout at the Jetty. Spent the day laughing and having a great time. It was our first time doing the private fishing charter and we all want to do it again. Even hooked a Jack Crevalle near the end of the trip "trolling". We're still taking about how enjoyable the experience was for us all. Average rating of the 4 guys: 4.8 of 5.

    Great Trip!

    8 Hour Trip • 6 adults

    Eric was a fantastic captain. Communication was excellent and he was very accommodating to our group. Despite some challenges with the weather everyone in our group caught a lot of fish (mainly speckled trout) and even a few founder and 2 sharks. Great time! We’ll definately go again.
