Great trip,limited on reds and enjoyed the company

Good,knowledgeable guide.

This was the worst Fishing experience I have ever had. This captain was extremely ill-prepared, rude, and unprofessional. We booked this trip under the impression that there would be live bait included in the cost. With no explanation, he drove us to a store and wasted our paid time buying frozen bait from a store. We then drove around in circles while he kept claiming to see fish. He finally caught one fish and handed me the rod. Not really the experience I was hoping for. He then took us around some very shallow waters and we got stuck in the mud for almost 20 minutes of our trip. By the time we got out of the mud we requested to go into deeper waters, he then says he doesn’t have an anchor so we have to fish shallow. Then he tells us his trolling motor is broken so at this point we really can not continue to fish for a full day. We had no music, as his radio was broken, we had no anchor, no trolling motor, we decided to just go ahead and cut our trip to a half day. Sadly we did not enjoy this trip or experience at all. When we arrived back to the dock he tried to charge us full price without deducting the deposit we already paid. He did not do anything to try and reprimand the situation or make us feel better in any way. He tried to actually get more money out of us saying he needed to make a payment on his boat. If you plan on going to Port Aransas to fish, do yourself a favor and book elsewhere. I have been fishing many times, I understand some days are better than others. However, this was not just a bad fishing day. This was a waste of time and money. How can you offer a service and not have all the equipment needed and/or functioning properly? Extremely dissapointing. We were lucky enough to book the rest of our day with Deep Sea Headquarters and we were able to catch a ton of great fish and enjoy the rest of our day.

Didn’t really seem like the captain wanted to be there. Which I understand because That’s Work for Him but would probably book with someone else next time for a better overall experience.
