Had a good time. Fishing the Galveston area has never been super productive and seems like every guide does the same things. Cap. Rick changed it up a bit at least and we got several bites and fish. Good time!
Captain Rick, his boat, and gear are top notch. We started our half-day trip off with a run to catch a bit of live bait on light tackle early in the morning. Itโs a great introduction to fishing for newbies with light tackle and relatively small fish. We went after the larger species with heavier rods/reels later in the morning and had a blast landing shark and bull reds.
Captain Rick is a wealth of knowledge, a fun person to talk to, and will get you on fish in a hurry. He also made great recommendations to prepare our catch and a catch and cook place called Huli Huliโs near the Strand. Would recommend again, 10 out of 10!

We chose the 3/4 day offshore/jetty experience with Captain Rick. Our original booking day ended up being super windy, so Rick shifted his schedule around and moved our trip to the following day when the wind was much calmer. He was very communicative about the trip and kept us informed of weather changes and other considerations. We took our 12 year old niece with us and she loved it! Rick taught her how to cast an open reel and wouldnโt you know she caught the biggest sheepshead AND a STING RAY!? We all had a great time. Rick was knowledgeable about the area and the fish and provided nice equipment and all the bait needed to catch our limits. He has an awesome personality and kept us entertained even when the biting was slow. 100% would fish with Rick again!

What an amazing experience for my sons first day salt water fishing. Though it was a rough day on the lines, it was a perfect day for making memories!ย Captain Rick and First Mate Amanda were a great team. They worked hard all day to make sure that we had a great day!ย We will be calling Rick the next time we are down for another trip!
Warning, if you have a 13 year old son, you wonโt stop hearing about the hard working,Amanda, aka: โsiren of the seaโ after you leave!!!
Thank you both for an amazing trip and we look forward to seeing you again!

Captain Rick provided a great charter experience for us.ย I had two 10 year old boys with me.ย One with plenty of freshwater fishing experience but no saltwater experience.ย The other had literally never caught a fish.ย Captain Rick and his deckhand were great with the boys.ย They were patient and helped them experience the fight associated with catching large reds and sharks.ย We all had a great time and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great day of fishing.
