At Captain Experiences, we like to say that we help you book the fishing trip of a lifetime every time. This Tuna fishing trip out of Galveston, Texas with Captain Lee was exactly that.

We started planning a repeat trip as soon as we returned from my first trip out with Captain Lee and the Tequila Sunrise crew. That offshore fishing trip out of Galveston was a resounding success as we caught Blackfin Tuna all night 110 miles southeast of Galveston at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary.

John Bilotta, the certified master casting instructor and two-handed spey casting instructor, hosts destination fly fishing experiences around the world, from Christmas Island to Alaska, India to Greenland to Mexico. We're incredibly excited to share his upcoming trip to Argentina (January 23-30, 2021) along the Rio Gallegos at Estancia Las Buitreras.

Please see below for more information on this Bucket List trip chasing world-class Argentinian Sea Trout.

Just north of Tierra del Fuego and the Straits of Magellan in Southern Patagonia lies the Rio Gallegos. Hosting some of the largest and strongest Sea Trout in the world, this river is as respected for its beauty as its bounty.

It doesn't get much better than eating fresh, deep sea, bluewater fish! And as far Galveston fishing charters go, Yellowfin Tuna is a consistent #1 in terms of taste, texture, and variety in the kitchen.

In this post, we focus on what happens after Texas Tuna fishing charters- Cooking the Catch! As more Americans rediscover the joys of seafood during quarantine, we hope this post gets you out supporting your local fish market, commercial fishermen, and maybe even your local fishing guides.

We couldn't be more excited about current fishing conditions and what they mean for fishing throughout Summer 2020. Galveston Bay fishing guides are coming back with quality Speckled Trout and Redfish. Venice fishing guides report stud Redfish left-and-right with limits of Speckled Trout as well.

And Florida fishing guides are off to the races! Key Largo fishing guides are snapping pics of Permit, Bonefish, Jack Crevalle, Snapper, and Grouper, West Palm Beach fishing charters are catching GIANT Kingfish, and Capt. Scott is also catching Kingfish, along with Snapper, Tuna, and Amberjack on his Riviera Beach fishing trips!

It's May, and that means summer is right around the corner! As waters temps heat up, the fishing heats up too. We couldn't be more excited to share this week's Big Ol Mess Fishing Report so let's dive right in:

See below for a guest post from one of our own Damn Good Guides, Nate Stevane, of Trout on the Fly out of Bozeman, Montana. Thanks for the awesome writeup, Nate!

On Wednesday, April 22nd, Montana Governor Steve Bullock addressed his phase one and two Directives for reopening our state. To read the full Directive, click HERE.

Governor Bullock has lifted our stay at home order starting on Sunday, April 26th. Beginning April 27th, we will be able to start offering guided fishing trips again. While this is excellent news, this first phase still has restrictions; if you are traveling to Montana from another state, you will need to self-quarantine for 14 days before we will be able to take you out on our waters. If you meet the requirements and are scheduled to fish with us during phase one, we will still need to follow the social distancing guidelines until we receive updated directives from Governor Bullock.

Spring fishing is firing on all cylinders and we're excited to share another fantastic Big Ol Mess fishing report. See below for updates on the action, but the big news is our Galveston deep sea fishing report from Captain Lee.

We had a blast on the trip catching 12 Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, and a few other species as well. Be sure to check in this week as we post an in-depth recap of the trip, along with video of our topwater Tuna bite and delicious Tuna catch-and-cook recipes!
