Capt Cody had us on fish at every location!!!
Capt Cody had us on fish at every location!!!
VERIFIEDStarted the day at 6am, scheduled for 8 hours but we cut the first trip short because we already had an afternoon trip booked with Cody. He timed the action perfectly with the weather, the winds, tides and the heat. Not to mention our lack of sleep after a long drive and fishing late the night before.
We had only 3 hours of sleep, so we were off our game with the hookset on popping corks, but Captain Cody was on his game all morning.
He had us on fish in 5 locations that morning. We were bringing in rat Reds, and Reds just under slot but the bite was ON!!!
Captain Cody had us on redfish constantly, we were missing the hookset on the slot sized fish and unfortunately were so tired we heard but werenโt following his instructions to the letter.
We learned NOT to try and catch slot+ Reds when totally exhausted.
Get plenty of sleep because Capt. Cody knows the surrounding waters and all the fish species habits and habitats.
Captain Cody isnโt a clock watcher, he observes his clients, the fish and the weather, to keep you safe, and on the fish.
Listen to him, he will help minimize your mistakes whether a novice or an experienced fisherman. I have fished all my life and I learned multiple things from him on both of our trips with him.
We rested between trips and oh what a difference it made. In all I think we hit 10 or 11 total locations of several different types of structure and depths using different techniques and specific bait for each of them.
We caught fish at all locations morning, afternoon and night.
My 15 year old grandson and I were on the Reds from 6AM to 10AM AND 5PM to almost Midnight when we finally said NO MAS!!!
My grandson caught his first Redfish limit and his first ever BIG UGLY Black Drum. (Captain and I had told him earlier they were monsters and would give you an incredible fight) Sure enough he landed a 40โ Drum and it wore him out, he was shaking when he brought it in and got his first trophy picture.
I got a few slot keepers myself including a few extra eating size croakers. We also landed a few puppy Drum just below slot and a nice fat Gafftop Sail cat for the fryer.
If you plan to fish the area meet Captain Cody around the Texas City/San Leon.
Capt. Cody knows which oil/gas platforms, islands, bayou, rocks, drop offs, docks, saltgrass, oyster beds and grass flats to put you on. If you want to target Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Flounder, Speckled Trout, he will put you on the fish for sure.
He is even an experienced Shark Fisherman though he specializes in limits of the most popular inshore/nearshore sporting fish.
I have had some really good guide experiences and about 4 not so good. Captain Cody is absolutely the best I have had yet. Iโve only had one other Guide down in the Goose Island, Fulton/Rockport, Aransas Bay area that even comes close to Captain Cody Phillipsโ will and skill.
In fact, we have already got our third trip planned with him.
I am sure there will be many more whenever I decide I want to fish this area of the Texas Coast from a boat Inshore/Nearshore.
Captain Cody had 25 days booked last month and I can certainly see why he is in such high demand.
If you want a great experience, the chance to learn more, make some memories and receive real value for your money, Captain Cody Phillips is THE MAN!!!
He has a comfortable boat, observes US and Texas safety and game regulations, has solid equipment, uses the right bait and tackle, moves locations to maximize your time and potential, is constantly up to date on the fishing conditions, and it GREAT with kids and adults regardless of experience level.
I almost wished I hadnโt written this review and kept him a secret.
When in this area of the Texas coast, Hire Captain Cody Phillips, just leave me a few calendar dates too please.
