Bubba is an outstanding captain and did everything in his power to make it an enjoyable day on the water, despite poor weather and a tough bite. We had strong winds, big waves, and strange currents to contend with, along with excessive heat. My son was seasick for the first few hours and Bubba was great about checking with him and adjusting where we fished to get into calmer waters. He was extremely attentive and I would 100% recommend anyone with kids to go with him - they’re in good hands! Once my son felt better, Bubba moved us around to give us the best chance to catch fish, and my son landed a few sharks along with a handful of catfish. When the trip was supposed to be over, he even stopped to let my son catch some sand trout so the trip would end on a good note. Bubba was a kind, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable captain who shared lots of stories and taught us a lot about fishing the area, and we truly felt welcome and appreciated on his boat. Despite a slow bite and getting seasick, my son said the fishing trip with Bubba was his favorite part of our whole vacation and that he wants to fish with him again - I think that says it all!

This fishing charter was the grand finale of our weeklong family vacation to Galveston. The weather was not kind to us, and a storm actually formed pretty much on top of us. Captain Bubba got us into safety and got us dry shirts, and we headed right back out as soon as the storm passed. Our teenager was able to bring in a big black drum due to the captains persistence. The captain went over and beyond any reasonable expectations we had, and did absolutely everything he could to put us on fish and to get us as much fishing time as possible with the weather taken into account. On our drive home, I asked Ali what her favorite part of the trip was and her response was getting the black drum. She already forgot about the storm. All that mattered was getting that big fish. Thank you Captain Bubba for a great time and for doing everything you could to hook us up. We will see you again soon, sir.

The fun started when I called Bubba for the first time to get some details. He was very polite and knowledgable about everything we needed to do before the trip. When we arrived Bubba said, “I think you are the guys I’m looking for,” looked me in the eye and gave me a firm handshake. He put on some music of our choice and we began our adventure. It’s called fishing not catching a phrase used by Bubba and most fishermen anywhere, but this day we were in the catching business. Bubba taught us all we wanted to know about what we were doing. From reading the fish finder and baiting the hook to netting and holding the fish, we learned and laughed all day. Don’t get me wrong we had some slow times on our trip were we didn’t catch things but the next bite is always right around the corner. If you want to have a great time out on the water, Ocean Outlaw Fishing is the way to go. I’ll definitely be back.
