Danny was great and seemed very experienced. His crew hand Beau was awesome. He worked so hard to make sure it was a great experience and made sure we caught fish. We loved the trip and can’t wait to go back. We will go with this crew when we do.

Cooper was a fantastic guide! I was really hoping to go after some Yellowfin but the winds were to bad. Needless to say though, we were on fish all day and had an absolute blast! I will definitely be coming back.

We had a fishing trip booked with captain Danny. We showed up at 630 was informed the water was choppy that if we went out we could decide to turn around or keep going which would not be charged if we got a little ways out and decided to come back but if we went too far out we may be charged a four hour trip. We got 6 miles out I asked the captain how far out we were. I said let's turn around go back in we have a 3 year old and 13 year old with us water was choppy. Got back in to shore after only one hour out returned 730. We had a 8 hour trip booked cost 2700. Was informed we would get back 1000 dollars. They took 1700 for a one hour boat ride never put a line in the water never got to where we were going 37 to 40 miles out was the plan. Captain never informed us that it was going to take over 2 hours just to get there in that water until later. Never offered to take us in the bay or anything for the 1700 dollars they took. Had they informed us they were going to keep 1700 dollars we may have decided to keep going. Would not recommend these guys unless you want to be robbed. We are very dissatisfied and disappointed. Not only was it our first deep sea fishing trip that we had to leave but to have all that money taken also. We understand fuel for that little ride and the captain time but a more reasonable price. Do not use these guys. We are very disappointed these trips aren't cheap and we weren't even offered a later trip. These guys didn't even offer us to come back another time just took our money and no response to anything we have to say now. Worst experience ever. Do not use them. One other thing about it is the captain that took us out told us he was making phone calls on the dock to cancel the other trip planned for later that day after we returned. It is ridiculous to just give money away like that on a one hour boat ride 1700 dollars. People work hard for their money and have to save up to be able to do something like this. I have been waiting years to go on a fishing trip like this.
Everything you said below is absolutely a lie. We were warned not by Danny but his other captain mark. He told us at the dock before we left that we could go out a little ways and see the sea and if it were to choppy for my 3 year old and 13 year old that we could turn around at no charge. When I ask how far out told me 6 miles. Also I need never told anyone I had been in the coast guard Danny had us mixed up with another fisher that day. I have the messages from him stating he had the wrong group of people when he thought I was the coast guard people. And 15 percent discount is not a significant discount. Why would I ever book a trip with you guys again anyways you guys have lost a customer for sure.

Your captain spoke to you beforehand and warned you about the bad weather and choppy seas, and he suggested to you that because of the high seas it would be better to postpone or cancel at no cost. You told him that you still wanted to go out. Your captain bought bait and ice for your trip and took you out 15 miles before turning around (30 miles round trip). Fuel is by far the majority of the cost of a deep sea trip, and running the engine at full speed on the way out is by far the biggest consumer of fuel for a trip. We were happy to refund everything except our costs on the trip, and we also offered you a discount on a future trip and hope that you will take us up on it and let us make it up to you and your family!

However, after returning home, and speaking to several friends I realized our trip should have been rescheduled for a better day.
Several friends told me their guide informs them when the seas are too rough and offers to reschedule the trip. I have booked aver 30 other trips in Port Aransas and always trusted the captain to judge the weather and give me important information to make a decision. It was so choppy most of the time you had to hold on or you would fall down. The wind kept blowing our lines too.
This was an expensive and special fishing trip for my son’s birthday. I mentioned this prior to the trip. So it was known how important this was. It’s hard to believe the captain knew how bad the fishing would be and did not suggest another day. He even took a larger vessel than we had reserved because of the weather. We only live three hours away. We very easily would have rescheduled the fishing trip given a chance to make an informed decision. I am very disappointed. Worse fishing trip in 20 years.
I feel I wasted over $3,000.00 of my hard earned money.
Check the weather yourself before booking a fishing trip! Good lesson learned. Expensive lesson learned!

Captain said meet at 8 at dock. We got there early. Captain picked us up early but then spent the next hour looking for live shrimp and fuel. Then he tried to have me buy more shrimp and got into a heated argument with shrimp sales lady about not giving him enough. It was a bit cringy. On top of that fish weren’t biting. Not the captains fault on that one but over was unimpressed.

Very nice 8 hours of fishing.
Only caught 3 barracuda but i don't hold the captain responsible for how hungry the fish are. I'm told it was early season.

My one complaint is that instead of the fish cleaning being included in the price and service, we had to take it to the fish house on the marina and pay $15 more.

At 6:30am, the mate was getting the boat ready...captain came out from cabin at 6:45 and invited us to board. Pulled out around 7am. Captain tells us that we're going to fish mainly for wahoo, but might get some blackfin tuna. Both great eating fish. Takes us out about 40 miles, and puts us on a school of Jack Crevalle...we land 3. Fun to catch, but they are junk fish. Rather than move to other fish, he stayed for 2.5 hours in the same area. We caught nothing but Jack Crevalle's and one Barracuda. They tried to tell us that Barracuda are excellent to eat (thats why you see them on every restaurant menu). After 2.5 hours of fishing, they ran out of bait, so then drove to another area to bottom fish for an hour...never got a bite. 8 hour trip over in 7. The mate was an excellent dude, the captain was a dud. Won't be back...don't waste your money on this charter
