Captain John was the best guy ever. Our trip began with him being patient and helping us secure our license. Then we went out to the jetties and caught sheephead, drum, and several other fish. We then went to tru our luck at shark fishing but wasn’t able to hook up on one. Captain John was the best captain yet. My grandsons had a blast with him. Not enough space to tell what a great time we had. If you get the chance book with Captain John

Im not great with words but i can say 10/10!! My husband and I had a great experience with Captain John-Mark!! He is a truly an exceptional angler and host!! From the vessel, his personality, and knowledge, all were exceptional!! We loved every minute and are planning our next trip for next month!! He showed patience for us and never missed a chance to teach us. We both are astonished at his knowledge. He knew what was on our line before the catch was even seen. He also never rushed anything which we enjoyed. He was also respectful of the catch!! My husband caught a 50lb drum, not a keeper, and the fight took alot out of the fish but Captain took time to help the drum live!! I could keep going about our great experience! Dont let the photo of 3 fish put you off, fish were caught and great times were had!!We are definitely booking again!!

Hands down the best charter I’ve ever been on. Captain John had us on fish immediately and kept us on fish the entire time we were out. He not only met, but exceeded all expectations. He most definitely goes above and beyond to make it a great trip for his clients. This was our first trip to Galveston and first trip with captain John. From the time we arrived he made us feel as if we’d know each other and fished together for years. His boat was killer as well. Clean, well kept with top of the line equipment. I would recommend anyone looking to take a Galveston bay charter, be booking Captain John !!!!! I will definitely be a returning customer !!!! Thank you Captain John …

From the moment i got on his boat,  I knew we had made the right decision.  he was very professional and knowledgeable about what we would be targeting and catching.  He put us on the fish, and we caught our limit.  towards the end,  my son hooked a 4 foot Jack Crevalle on light tackle.  We fought the fish for just over 2 hours.  big John did an excellent job driving the boat and coaching my son on what to do with the fish and how to keep it hooked.  We ended up going overtime,  but I didn’t feel like we was rushed or anything.  Big John has clearly fished these waters that he knows what will be catching,  where they will be,  and will do his best to put you on the fish.  I will definitely choose Big Tex chargers again the next time i come down.
