  I’d leave more stars if i could!

  Quick 3-hour mid-morning trip on July 29, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

  I booked this trip originally for me, my son and daughter. (9&10) weve never been saltwater fishing and were so excited to try it. I ended up adding my 4yo son also after talking to the captain about if it would be smart and still able to catch fish with more kids on board. Capt Noel said “No problem! bring him!” i was nervous because fishing with kids tends to be more work than fishing. On top of bringing 3 inexperienced kids the water was going tk be rough so i really wasnt expecting much realistically but was excited to get out there anyways. That all being said Capt Noel blew my expectations out of the water! We ended up catching plenty of fish, the kids had a blast and my daughter even caught a 30” shark! This fishing was the highlight of our whole trip in padre! From his experience and knowledge of putting us on the fish to his patience with the 7zillion questions kids ask, he was the best captain and i will definitely be returning! I really cant say enough good about this trip. 10/10 recommend!!

  Blayden I was certainly my pleasure fishing with you and your family. Despite being a windy day I'm so glad that we managed to land some nice fish for the kids and not to mention you landed a very nice black drum. They were so well behaved and definitely determined to catch fish, love it. It makes me happy knowing you'll had an awesome experience fishing on the beautiful bay of SPI and we even got to see dolphins swimming close to the boat. Its all about making memorable fishing memories with the family. Safe travels my friends and tight lines 🎣

  An Incredible Day on the Water with Captain Noel! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  Quick 3-hour mid-morning trip on June 27, 2026 • 4 adults

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Noel! He worked hard to keep us on the fish all morning, and it paid off—we caught 8 fish, had several more bites, and even almost landed a 3-foot baby shark on the boat! That was definitely the highlight of the trip. Captain Noel was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and made sure everyone had a great time. To top it all off, he arranged to have our fish cleaned and filleted, so we were able to head home and enjoy an incredible fish fry. If you’re booking a fishing charter, we highly recommend requesting Captain Noel. You won’t be disappointed!

  Brenda, You guys were awesome. It was certainly a very windy day to begin with. We didn't have many options on where to fish on the bay. The first spot was good and landed nice speckled trout and nearly landed a small shark. I decided to take you'll to the second fishing spot and game on! We landed some very nice size black drum. Most importantly everyone landed fish. It's all about making unforgettable family Fishing memories and enjoying the outdoors. Once again thank you so much for your generosity. safe travel and tight lines my friends 🎣

  Literally the best trip we’ve taken!

  4 Hour Trip (copy) on July 9, 2026 • 2 adults

  Saying this was the best guided trip we’ve taken would be an understatement. Before the trip I had message captain Noel that I wanted my wife to land her first red fish. We not only landed a 33” bull red, we also landed our PB trout as well at 23” & 22.5”. Captain Noel not only made the trip fun but also taught us lots of things on the guide such as where to find fish and what to look for. We’ll be booking with him for every trip we take down to SPI going foward!

  I had an awesome time fishing with you'll. Im so glad that your wife got to experience landing her first 33" bull red that literally took her around the boat before landing it lol and releasing it was the icing on the cake. The speckled trout were hungry we had non stop action landing big trout. Some over the size limit which is always a plus. Till next time my friends and till then tight lines 🎣

  great time! tight lines!

  Quick 3-hour mid-morning trip on March 5, 2026 • 2 adults

  we had a great time with Noel! very courteous and great sense of humor. started a little shakey because we left the dock without filling up. A quick trip back to the pump and we were back on the water in no time. Captain Noel put us on fish within a few minutes of putting lines in the water. had our limit in less than two hours! And that was even with catching a trout over the limit! Biggest red was 28”. Catching fish is fun, but having a great captain makes the whole experience worthwhile. Thanks Noel, for a great time! Tight lines!
