Brian is a great guide! Wealth of knowledge and just plain good guy to hang out with! My sons and I had a great time, caught our limit and even got a few really nice fish! I will definitely book with him again the next time I’m in the area.

Great morning with Travis. Got us onto fish straight away and our two boys loved it. A 30” redfish started things off and we finished with a 5-6ft alligator gar, with plenty of others between them. Highly recommend a trip out with Travis!

Captain Brad was an outstanding guide who got us right on the fish! My wife and I caught a big red, maxed our sheepshead counts, and had a tasty speckled trout. Brad is a great guide, very hospitable, easy to talk to, and goes out of his way to make sure you have a great experience. We will definitely request him again in the future!

Had a fantastic time fishing with Robert in Rockport last Wednesday. He was knowledgeable, professional, and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable from start to finish. You can tell he really knows the area and works hard to put you on fish. Great communication, well-organized trip, and just an all-around great guide. We had a lot of fun and created some awesome memories out on the water. Highly recommend booking with Robert if you’re in Rockport — we’ll definitely be back!

Amazing captain! We went on 4 hour with myself and three teens. Ruben knew right where the fish were and soon after we arrived we were catching fish. Would definitely and will in future recommend Ruben.

Cory was an awesome guide. He was very communicative by calling ahead and making sure we had a plan tailored to our family. The fish were finicky, as they can be, but Cory kept at it and made sure we had a great trip!
