Harry Arthur Galveston, Texas Reported: 2 years ago

Last few trips have been mostly catch and release trips. Did not take a lot of pictures. Most days we are finding a good bite using artificial lures from the boat. Some days it takes time for the bite to materialize. Recent weather patterns are indicating an early spring. Water temperature have already reached mid 70 degrees. The shad spawn has already begun. So we will be using smaller baits to get our bites for the next 30days or so. Popping cork and shrimp will also become an effective method for catching fish.

The backwater is holding lots of redfish, some trout and some large sheepsheads. We’re using live shrimp fishing 4 to 6 feet deep along rocks. Spring Break is right around the corner, it’s time to get your kids outdoors!

Mike was a super guide. He worked hard for us. Unfortunately we only got 2 keepers But, if it wasn't for Mike's eagle eye would not have gotten those. I'll definitely book with Mike again one day.

Trip: Great Inshore Fishing
★★★★★
Mike was great! He spotted fish I didn't see even after I stabbed them but I trusted his direction and we had an amazing time. My family is still talking about it and can't wait to book again. It is clear to us that Mike enjoys what he does and we were able to have a wonderful time because of his love for the sport. Tips for the future that by no means takes away from the trip but will hep future bookers: 1. A very good mosquito spray 2. Women, be conscious of the humidity's effect on your hair

We had an incredible day on the water with Captain Troy From start to finish, this fishing trip exceeded all expectations. The captain was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable. The boat was well-equipped, and safety was clearly a top priority. We were taken to some fantastic spots where the fish were biting almost instantly. The Captain even handled all the cleaning of our catch so we could just relax and enjoy the day. On top of the fishing, the scenery was stunning—calm waters, clear skies, and even a few dolphin sightings along the way. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. We left with fresh fish, great memories, and plans to book again soon. Captain Troy's nursing background really helped ease any motion sickness worries and calm first-time nerves, my son is 7 and he had a blast! If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience, this is the trip to take!

We had a blast with Captain Izzy. While the lines were in the water, we were also able to watch some dolphins. The boat was clean, the captain attentive, and we had good conversations. We highly recommend Captain Izzy.
