    Memorable fishing trip

    Full Day Trip • 3 adults

    We had a fun fishing trip. I took my son fishing as well as his friend who had never been saltwater fishing. We had lots of action everywhere we went. Captin Austin worked hard to get us on the fish. I would definitely reccomend this trip to others.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout

    Fun & Productive trip out of Hackberry

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Had a great day of fishing with Captain Devin. He is a knowledgeable captain with excellent experience, willing to work hard to put you on the fish and adapt to your fishing skills. We got a nice mess of fish (specks, redfish, flounder, black drum) and also got to have a tug of war with a nice 34" bull red which we let go after her morning exercise :). We had to work at it and Captain Devin covered a lot of different fishing spots and methods to get our success. Will definitely look him up for our next trip there.

In case you'd like to venture out to the Gulf, now is the right time. Various species are schooling closer to the coast and fishing can be very productive.
