Tim had us pulling fish in immediately!

Full Day Trip4 adults2 children

5-Star Review for Capt. Tim We had an outstanding day on the water with Capt. Tim celebrating my boys’ birthdays! My sons (17 and 12) and I had a blast from start to finish. Capt. Tim was knowledgeable, patient, and an absolute pro — he put us on fish all day long. We caught trout, bonnethead shark, beautiful reds (including a solid one my oldest reeled in), and black drum. The action was steady, the boat was comfortable, and Capt. Tim made sure everyone had a great time and learned a ton. He kept things fun, safe, and exciting the whole trip. This was the perfect family adventure — great memories made, fish in the cooler, and big smiles all around (especially at sunset on the ride back). Highly recommend booking with Capt. Tim if you want a memorable, productive trip on the Texas coast. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you, — Mike Hughes & family (Austin, TX)

    Tim is automatic!

    Half Day Trip2 adults

    Tim is personable, hard-working and super knowledgeable about the estuary in which he guides - he's been doing it for 30 years! Tim is not only a super professional and friendly fishing guide, he is a mariner. He understands the water and I believe it gives him an edge. We met Tim at his private slip, not the crowded fishing center. His boat was loaded with bait and top notch equipment. In less than 5 minutes from getting on the boat, we were headed out to fish. He wasted no time! There is plenty of seating on the boat and it is well-built for multiple fishermen with multiple hook-ups. There is nothing he did not think about. He had a plan and it worked! We limited out on Trout within the first hour of fishing and then he took us to catch MONSTER Red Fish and MONSTER Jack Crevalle. We spent the remainder of the trip pulling on enormous fish and left completely physically exhausted. I've never had so much fun catching fish on a guided trip. Tim kept a great sense of humor the entire time. He's a great guide. If you want to catch fish, I have no idea why you would look for anyone else. In fact, if you aren't fishing with Tim its probably because he's already booked. Otherwise, you need to get on his boat - it will be a great time. Last thing, he's a family man and was raised in this area. His livelihood is in this water and he respects that. You just cannot go wrong. Thanks for the trip, Tim! See you soon!

    Just a fish shy of our limit on slot reds & trout

    Full Day Trip2 adults

    We had a fabulous time with Tim! It was a very comfortable well balanced boat. He put us on fish & we caught nice sized fish when others around us weren't catching much. Captain Tim is experienced and very pleasant to work with & talk to- very knowledgeable about fish habits & waters. We will book with him again!
