    Great Day on the water!

    Half Day Trip Morning2 adults

    we started our trip an hour later due to weather and fishing reports. Captain was there at the dock and had everything ready upon arrival. Bay was calm and weather looked promising. The ride out to the selected fishing area was smooth and interesting ships and views to talk about. Upon stopping the fishing began. Wife and I started catching fish. Mangrove Snapper, as well as at least five other species. The Spotted Trout started biting after a short move. The Redfish remained hidden but the Trout and others posibly a shark kept us busy. We limited out on Trout and moved our location to find those Redfish. After fishing an hour after or more and no luck we headed back in. Upon arrival back at the docks we found out others also fishing that day didn’t hook up to any Redfish. The Captain wasted a lot of fuel attempting to locate those Redfish. But it was just the weather and timing they just weren’t biting this day. We had a great time the weather was comfortable and the Captain sure tried to make it better. We will be back and we will tell our friends of this fun trip fishing. Boat was clean and equipment in top notch condition. All safety rules were followed by the Captain and we had a wonderful day on the Bay. Kevin and Lisa Smith

    amazing

    Half Day Trip Morning2 adults

    Captin Dave was awsome. Showed up before scheduled time. Brought everything you needed. Water was a little rough but we all survived. 5 out of 5 stars. Would fish with him anyday any time. Not only a captin that knows his stuff he was safe in doing so. Best part about the whole trip besides his company is not a single person got hooked. just the fish. Thanks again captin Dave hope to see you in the future.

    Great Day on the Water with Captain David!

    Half Day Trip Morning2 adults1 child

    Had a blast on our half-day trip with Captain David! Fishing was slow to start, but we stayed patient and finished strong, reeling in plenty of fish and bringing home a few keepers. Captain David was friendly, knowledgeable, and great with my son, making the whole experience fun for both of us. If you’re in the Port Aransas/Corpus Christi area and want to get out on the water, book with Captain David. Highly recommend!

    Best Family Fishing Charter

    1/2 Day Trip Afternoon4 adults2 children

    First time fishing charter with wife and 2 kids (3and7). Captain was very knowledgeable and new his waters. We were all hooking up within 30mins on the boat. Captain was very patient with the kids and handled all the fish we caught. We definitely recommend Captain Lee if you want to carch fish and have a great day on the water. We will definitely be back! Thanks Captain Lee
