Man the last few weeks have been so much fun! Literally non-stop action from the beginning of the trip to the very end. Some trips we even had to go buy more bait because we had caught so many! We have been targeting oyster reefs in 2 to 4 ft of water on an incoming tide with a popping cork and shrimp suspended 1 ft below the cork! From monster reds to delicious speckled trout and black drum with the occasional big sheep head in the mix! If you're looking for a Non-Stop action trip with lots of laughs, give me a shout!

It's been a good tarpon season in Galveston. Action should pick up again after hurricane Francine passes. Late September is prime time!

Fishing continues to be on fire. Live bait has been my go to from the boat. Wade fishing with artificials had also produced good stringers of trout.

This was my third trip with Captain Izzy, and like always it was great experience and enjoyed myself immensely. He is a great Captain doing everything he can to give his clients an experience they will remember. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for a great day of fishing. He is not just a good Captain, but a great guy that’s sincere in giving his clients the best time possible. Thanks again Captain Izzy for another great day fishing. See you again soon.

We had a windy day and even so, Capt. Mike knew where to go. We limited out on Trout very quickly. While we only got to keep 1 Red we did catch several. We will go with Capt, Mike again in the future. I would rate this experience from 1 to 10 as a 15.
