I’ve been running charters since 1996, both inshore and offshore. In the past couple of years, I’ve settled into strictly bay, jetty and beachfront fishing. I’m from Galveston and have lived in Galveston county my entire life. I enjoy showing people the sights of Galveston Bay and catching a few fish while we are at it. Kids are welcome and always are fun to have on board. I hope you choose my service for your day on the bay. When booking with me you can be assured you will fish with me, the owner and I’ll do my best to provide a damn good time!

Darryl was knowledgeable but could have been more helpful with a safety talk. We didn’t know where life vests were and we had an 80 yr old man with us. Darryl was considerate of him and watched out for him. It was a nice day.

Hey Michael, thank you for this feedback. We will be sure to relay it to Captain Darryl. Please rest assured that safety is his number one priority, so I apologize if it did not seem that way. Otherwise, I am glad you all had a nice day out on the water and I hope we can help you book another trip soon!

Darrell was friendly, patient and knowledgeable regarding the Galveston waters. This was the first saltwater fishing experience for my 11-year-old son. Darrell was great working with him and made both of us feel welcomed and comfortable.
