    Ruben was very knowledgeable and put us on the fish. He was a blast and very entertaining. We caught more fish than the other groups that came in at the same fear that we did.

    We had an amazing trip. This is my 5th ocean fishing trip and it’s tied with the best. Garrett worked to make sure we caught fish and you could tell he genuinely enjoyed his work (this makes a difference). I highly recommend booking with him.

    Captain Corey was our hero and saved the day. So glad our first captain was a no show. We had the experience of a lifetime . Despite the wind conditions he was determined for us to catch some fish. We will definitely use Captain Corey for our next Charter.

    Trip: Aransas Pass Bay Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    The Captain that we originally booked Canceled due to engine problems, Joshua came through on a short notice and put us on some fish. We ended up having a great time despite the inconveniences from the previous captain and I definitely recommend Joshua’s services!

    Trip: Aransas Pass Inshore - 23’ Haynie

  • ★★★★★
    I got the impression that the mate was newer deckhand. The mate did well but obviously had a few things to learn. Sorry I forgot his name. As for our captain, instead of the captain jumping in and helping the mate, he was too busy fishing himself. They both basically got lost in what they were doing instead of putting the clients first. Overall we had a good experience and reeled up plenty of fish.

    Trip: Inshore / Near Shore Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    The Captain did the best he could under the conditions of the waves. Rough as hell. Probably should have been cancelled. Couldn't stay on the fish but he tried his butt off. Should have only paid half price for the Bull Ride in the ocean.
