Fantastic trip! The deckhand Tyler was phenomenal always keeping our baits taken care of never letting any of the fish hit us swinging them in the boat. Dude was on point with everything he did worked very hard. Captain Dustin is an all-around great guy. Man gives a damn about what he does, And he’s out there to try his hardest to get you a fish no matter what. Well answer any questions you have very informational. A time me and all of my very good friends. Will never forget. Hands-down I will be back to visit Dustin and Tyler. Fish or no fish. If you know what’s good for you book your trip!

This was one of the best days of fishing I have ever had and it just wasn’t because the fish were bitting like crazy.  Each year at our family reunion I schedule a fishing trip with my father-in-law, cousins and nephews. This was the first time we hosted our family reunion on the Gulfcoast as we usually go to South Padre Island where my family is from. I have been fishing with Captain Dustin 4 times in the past and because of his professionalism, graciousness and patience I knew he would be the perfect fit for my family.
We started out catching croaker and white trout just outside of the marina and the action was constant.  From there we headed toward Ship Island and in no time we caught our limit of Redfish.  Exhausted from reeling in 25-30 lb Reds, we caught a reprieve as we headed toward the East end of Cat Island and caught our limit of shark as well as a few sting rays (which we released).  Within a few hours of leaving the dock we were exhausted from reeling in massive Reds and very large sharks.  With all of this going on, our trip didn’t end here.  Captain Dustin and his 1st mate Christopher gave a us a history lesson of the area and shared their experiences regarding being life long residents of the Gulfcoast.
Memories are made when you have people you love and care about share experiences with you.  Thank you to Captain Dustin for making this a memorable experience and helping create a memory my family will speak of for years to come.
Don’t waste your time looking for another charter.  If you want to catch fish, learn the history of the area and be treated like family from the first time you step on the boat, then look no further than Captain Dustin and hop aboard the Fishtrap for a trip you will not soon forget.

Had a great day on the water with Capt. Dustin and mate Daly. From the moment we arrived to farewell we found them to be welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. The weather had been poor (windy and chilly) but our day turned out sunny with light winds and fair seas that laid out by late morning to glass. The water had cooled too much so that our target fish (spanish and king mackeral) had moved out. Regardless Capt. Dustin tried several techniques and searched several spots to put us on fish. We got into some large (25-30 pound) Jack Crevalle that wore us out! These fish put up a tremendous fight and don’t quit! Probably hooked up with 2 dozen and put 18-20 in the boat. Our arms were tired so we came closer in to some structure and switched to light tackle and caught a cooler full of white trout. Daly was on point with keeping us baited and fishing. All in all we would highly recommend you book a trip with the “Fish Trap”.

Captain Dustin and deck mate Christopher worked hard to make sure we had a great time!  We caught our own bait within just a few minutes as the area was hitting! Then we headed to deeper waters where we tracked along with the dolphins to find huge catfish and redfish.  At times most poles were hitting at the same time and they had to help us get them all in .  You can tell they know the area and where to find the action.  Great people skills as well making us feel at ease immediately!

It was a very slow morning Captain Dustin and his deck hand worked hard on finding the fish. Finally at 11a.m we found a school of fish. We had Jacks on five out of 6 rods. When it was all said and done we had 10 Mega Jacks and 1 Catfish. Slow morning turns into an awesome morning. Thank you Captain Dustin, you are a captain that never gives up. We will be back.
