The fish weren’t biting - no one was catching anything, including all the boats around us. The captain did everything he could to locate fish. Both that’s fishing. We will get them next time.
Enjoyed conversation and the water.

What a great, fun, day on the gulf!!  My nephews and I had a wonderful day fishing with Captain Jerry.  The book is in excellent condition, the fishing rods and reels were all easy to use.  With a simple lesson we were ready to cast our lines.  Our group included two young teens, ages 12 and 14.  As well as an old lady, 70 and slightly handicapped using a cane.  Jerry, and his deck hand, Trey were patient and helpful assisting me onto (and off) the boat.  We fished for a few hours and the boys caught fish such as trout, rock fish, and even a couple of eels.  Captain Jerry then set the boat to trawling and we hoped to catch a couple of sharks.  TJ had a shark on the line, but it jumped the hook about 4 feet from the boat.  Weather was great most of the day - had some shade and a breeze at times.  But we didn’t really mind the hot July day because we were on the water having a blast!

I gave my husband, son in law and grandson a fishing trip for Fathers Day and they had the best time with Captain Jerry! He is great with kids and they caught plenty of fish! Storms were rolling in through Galveston this morning so Captain Jerry called to delay the trip to let the storms pass instead of just canceling. His first mate was super nice and my grandson said he liked this trip the best out of the others they have taken over the years. We will for sure book again with Captain Jerry our next trip to Galveston!!!  Thanks for giving my guys such a fun trip and making their day!!

Trip was planned months in advance was cancelled Monday night for high winds - unsafe conditions. But prior to cancelling Captain Jerry reached out and called me explaining the situation fully.  He stayed in communication via calls and text messages all week while we were in Galveston with the family and as conditions improved we were able to reschedule for yesterday afternoon.  Before we headed out the door to head for the marina, Capt Jerry called and said conditions are great but the fish just weren’t biting, offering to cancel the trip. I appreciated the level of communication and his candor.  We went anyway.  He was right - didn’t catch much but it wasn’t for his lack of effort.  Capt Jerry was busy on the phone gathering info from his sources on good spots and we went to a few.  That’s fishing though.  The best thing that happened that day was connecting with Captain Jerry and his hand Yardstick aboard his boat Stray Cat.  100% recommended and we will be back with them in the fall.
