It's been slow as far as customers, but when we are out there fishing has been great! We are catching reds, black drum and big trout. Popping cork fishing has tested us well on the drift 🎣🎣

the season just opened up down here in South Padre Island, and we had a fantastic day. We did an afternoon hunt. I had three hunters we shot our limit of redheads limit of blue bills and a couple buffalo head. I didn't take a lot of pictures today because we were a little busy, but I did get a bunch of GoPro footage that I'm still trying to download but we seen a ton of docs today. Weather was beautiful. It was 70° a little overcast and we had a nice light wind. The birds decoyed really well if...

Fishing has been great! We've been experiencing upper slot and oversized red fish and trout! Throwing popping cork and shrimp/artificial shrimp has proved to be the key. Fishing conditions have been nice with 65-80 degrees. And okay winds 👍🏽 We are drift fishing for the reds and trout and channel fishing anchored down for the black drum

Reds and black drum have been biting and coming ok good slot sizes! Using dead shrimp onto the bottom for drum and live shrimp and popping cork for the red fish. 🎣🎣💪🏽💪🏽

My neighbor Mike and I got them pretty good today. Really nice grade of red snapper and a bonus grouper that was just a little short had to release him weather was fantastic. It's nice when we get some calm seas and we can sneak out and catch some awesome snapper seen a few cobia today. Couldn't get them to go, but they're always fun to see swimming around the boat.

The bay fishing has been decent throughout the past couple of weeks and the weather has been great. Catching limits of speckled trout on soft plastic artificial baits. The color changes around South Padre are holding speckled trout and redfish. Try finding some baitfish in an area and the gamefish will be nearby. Redfishing has been better on those high wind days. Have spotted several schools of redfish on certain days. I would expect the bite to remain decent as long as the warmer weather conditions remain good.

Loved our wildlife ride with Cliff! He knew all the good places and how to drift the boat by to not spook the birds! Great time!

What a great charter experience. Captain Tony and deck hand Albert were fantastic. They did their best on some rough water to keep us comfortable and on the fish. We got our limit of red snapper and we caught some other species along the way. They were great with my small children. They kept the piles rigged and bait on the hooks. Of all the charters that I’ve taken my family on, this one was by far their favorite. I can’t give a higher recommendation.

Went out on a 5 hour bay fishing trip on a weather perfect morning. Nathan put on some nice trout & reds on north side of bridge. When we went to south side of bridge toward SpaceX we had a few bites, but spent too much time anchoring up, so we didn’t catch much. Nathan was a great , knowledgeable Captain & boat was perfect for trip

Great trip! 6 hour trip for some red snapper. Captain put us on the fish. Limited out in less than 2 hours. Had time for our party of 4 to troll for kings which we got 2. Then tried cobia fishing. Lots of fun. Definitely booking again. Highly recommend.
