    Brandon was phenomenal. My wife and I had such a fun time. Our first time fishing this way, and he was so accommodating. Moved us from spot to spot trying to help us get a Red Fish to take to dinner and we got one! He was also very nice and kept the good vibes and conversations going the entire time! I would recommend 10 times out of 10!

    Zack is a consummate professional, with a hometown feel. He was clear and very helpful in preparing us for the hunt. In addition, he placed us in a fantastic location to succeed in our hunt. I will definitely be coming back and also recommending him to our friends and family.

    A great day. A great skipper! We caught a bunch of fish. I would charter with Chris again. It was my 7 year old grandson’s first fishing trip. I’m glad we booked with Chris.

    I booked this for my husband and our oldest son for Father’s Day. My husband has always wanted to do a fishing excursion. They had the best time, we took their catch to The Edge where they prepared it for us. I highly recommend Lonestar Charter and Captain Chuch

    Such a great experience! With a beginner fisher and a seasoned fisherman he handled us both super well. Very attentive and proactive. Didn’t make us sit in the same spot for hours, really got to move around the bay and catch what’s out there.

    We had an amazing time with Jason! He was knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole trip fun from start to finish. He helped us find fish quickly, kept the experience exciting, and made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip- highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun and memorable fishing experience!
