    Two of the best trips ever!

    4 Hour fishing trip/ 4 person max • 2 adults

    Captain Eloy, just wanted to say thank you for two awesome days on the water. You put us on the fish, kept us laughing, and made the whole experience something we’ll remember long after the fish are gone. 🎣 You can tell when someone genuinely enjoys what they do, and it shows in how you treated us from start to finish. We really appreciate you taking care of us — right down to cleaning up “the meat” at the end. 😂 Great fishing, great company, and even better memories. We’ll definitely be looking you up the next time we’re down here. Thanks again, Captain. Puro 956! 🤙🏽🎣

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout

    BEST FISHING TRIP WITH THE BEST CAPTAIN!

    4 Hour fishing trip/ 4 person max • 2 adults

    We booked a last minute fishing trip for my birthday and I’m so glad we did! Captain Eloy was magnificent, kind, and very hospitable. He communicated well prior to the trip about meeting time, location, & what to expect. He was very patient with us being beginner angulars. He helped us cast until we were comfortable, baited our hooks the whole time, unhooked any fish we caught - he basically took care of it all and taught us so much! He worked his tail off to help us get as many keepers as possible. His boat was nice, clean, and a very smooth ride. I’d recommend him to anyone thinking about booking, & can’t wait for our next trip out here to fish with him again soon!

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout

    Awesome fishing trip in Arroyo City !

    4 Hour fishing trip/ 4 person max • 2 adults

    Thanks so much to Eloy and Lifetime Charters for an awesome fishing trip ! Couldn't ask for more excitement of pulling in all those trout, reds, and even a stingray. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and professional guide. Even the windy conditions didn't put a damper on what we pulled in. Eloy was a true blessing, and we had a blast ! Highly recommended, FIVE STAR ! Thanks !!! Ben & Donna
