An Unforgettable Family Adventure with Captain Dan!

The Whole Enchilada (Ingleside)4 adults2 children

Our family of four had an absolute blast with Captain Dan! He was punctual, incredibly communicative, and remarkably patient with our young anglers, making everyone feel comfortable right from the start. He took us straight to the best spot for trout, and we remarkably caught our limit within the first hour! For the rest of the day, Captain Dan kept the excitement going by taking us to various spots where we caught a wonderful variety of fish. He is incredibly knowledgeable and truly the perfect guide for families. We couldn't have asked for a better day on the water!

    Awesome fishing trip with a side of birding!

    The Whole Enchilada (Port Aransas)4 adults2 children

    Our family had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Dan this week! He was knowledgable about the best spots to go and didn’t waste time at the ones not biting. He made sure we stayed at it until we limited out on sea trout, but we also were able to catch a variety of other fish too! He did so well with our 9 and 12 year old, helping them both get the most out of the experience too! Then as a bonus, he took us by a couple of spectacular birding spots on the water for me to get some local new species for me on my target list this trip too! Excellent fish guide & made the trip amazing for the whole family! Thanks for everything Captain Dan!

    Incredible day of fishing

    The Whole Enchilada (Ingleside)3 adults

    Captain Dan and his deck hand Holly were incredibly fun, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly!! Captain Dan was quick to move to a new spot when the fishing wasn’t so great but we did hit a lot of good spots and caught gaff tops, speckled trout and sand trout. We went home with a good amount of fish. Even if we didn’t catch any fish it would’ve been ok because Captain Dan and Holly made the trip out , worthwhile. 100% we will be booking Captain Dan for our next trip. We highly recommend!!

    Speckled Trout and Shark, Nice!

    The Whole Enchilada (Port Aransas)2 adults

    Captain Dan was great. Friendly and engaging. I have a teenage son, and it was so nice to start at 8:30 AM instead of 5 or 6 AM. We still caught several good sized trout and after a few attempts, we landed a black tip (?) shark. Capt Dan was persistent and made sure my son reeled it in. Great trip for this father and son, or truly anybody who doesn’t want to wake up so dang early while on vacation. Highly recommend this charter.

    Great for young and 1st timers

    The Whole Enchilada (Port Aransas)4 adults1 child

    Took my 4-year-old out along with my dad and brother for their first trip, and it couldn’t have gone better. The captain handled some strong winds like a pro and kept the ride smooth getting us to each spot. He stayed on the move when the bite slowed down and made sure we stayed on fish. What stood out the most was how great he was with my son—patient, engaged, and made it a fun experience for him. My little one walked off the boat already asking when we’re going again. Great trip all around. Looking forward to the next one.
