BOOOOOOOM, got us an April tiger the other night! Conditions looked perfect to send a big bait out deep and it payed off with this beautiful 11’1” female tiger! Book your trip this summer, it’s shaping out to be an amazing year of fishing!

We been on em on em all spring! This is our highest the year and should hold the title for anybody in our area for a while, unless we get another 🫣

Cory was a great guide. He really tried to put us on fish on what was otherwise a slow day. He is a good guy with good stories. I will use him again next time I am in Port A.

Trip: Rockport Redfishing
★★★★★
Had an awesome time on our deep sea fishing charter! From start to finish, the crew made the whole experience smooth, fun, and memorable. Huge shoutout to Banjo, Marshall, and Kaylee they were knowledgeable, hardworking, and genuinely great to be around. They kept us on the fish, helped every step of the way, and made sure everyone was having a good time. We ended up catching some really solid fish, which made the trip even better. If you’re looking for a crew that knows what they’re doing and makes the day enjoyable, I’d absolutely recommend them. Looking forward to coming back out again!

Ruben was very easy to get along with and knowledgeable on the area we were fishing ( inshore )! He has a very nice boat, and we caught fish on a tough day! He was in touch with other Guides during the day to get info on the best areas! We will fish again on our next trip to the area! Barry W

Trip: 1/2 Day Bay Boat Fishing

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!

Trip: Inshore/Flats Fishing Trip

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!
