The Trophy Blues are Def still bitting! While all the bait fish are moving shallow to spawn right now is the perfect time to target Blues in shallow water as they move in to the shallows. Book a trip and let's go chase GIANT BLUES!!

The fishing has been fire on the Trinity River. The Alligator Gar are welcoming the fresh water and have turned on. Several fish are being caught on each trip including some nice sized trophies.

Terrific trip with Milton. Fishing started slow, but we stuck it out and everybody caught their first-ever gar! Milton moved spots several times to get us more shots, and we caught fish while every other boat on the river got skunked. Will definitely be back!

We went with Cody and had a great time. I bass fish a lot but never thought about Alligator Gar fishing. But some friends from Czech Republic came to see me and that was on there bucket list. So we booked with Captain Experiences. The whole experience from start to finish was great. Shawna was great and keep us updated on everything. and was very quick to respond to any questions that we had. Cody sure knows what he is doing. our largest was 160.25 lbs. and I do think I will be going back. I do recommend you give it a try. Terry Varden
