Case was a great guide, he filled us in on some of the local fishing history, the whys of what gear he was using and after not having much luck at a couple spots he took us out to a hot spot and we caught several keeper Red Snapper. We would book with him again!

Cade was awesome! He put us on the fish early and we didn’t get off them until we headed back to the dock! We caught Spanish mackerel, spade fish, and catfish mostly. We had 17 keepers that we took back and cooked.

The ride out to the fishing spots was beautiful, and Captain Cade was incredibly friendly, informative, and knowledgeable about the area.

He worked hard to make sure everyone had plenty of opportunities to catch fish, and thanks to him we caught
some beautiful red snapper! He even cleaned all of our fish for us, which was a huge bonus.

One of the highlights of the trip was when Captain Cade let our youngest son feed the pelicans. This trip was a special memory that our family will never forget.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable captain who truly cares about making sure everyone has a great time and catches fish, we highly recommend Captain Cade. We would absolutely book with him again!

We were quite disappointed in our experience. Cade is a nice young man, but asked us nothing about our fishing experience or expectations for the day.

We then traveled about 35 minutes to the second location which was under a highway bridge.. We caught about 4 or 5 fish, with the biggest being about 10 inches. I understand that the guide cannot be responsible for the fish caught but it seemed like we were in locations that were targeting smaller fish. For the cost of the trip, we were expecting more of a "Gulf charter fishing experience." I would recommend not using this venue.

I tried to do the right thing and go above and beyond to give you the best experience possible. I just would have hoped yall would have said something to me personally. All I can guarantee is to go out there and try my hardest to catch fish.

I was very disappointed with our guide who showed up late and was not prepared for our trip. He showed up with no bait for the trip and acted like it was no big deal. Then we drove around for one and half to try and find bait . He did manage to get a little bit of bait from another guide and some dead shrimp and we sat on a oil rig and caught a few fish . The trip was supposed to be for red fish and speckled trout not for Spanish mackerel so I was disappointed altogether and felt like we should have got a more professional service for how much we paid.

You guys caught over 30 fish. Everyone was trying to find bait that day as it was very hard to come by as I explained to you. I also explained to you that it was mid day and not a good time to target specs and reds. I also gave you a big discount even though we still caught a bunch of fish.

You guys caught over 30 fish. Everyone was trying to find bait that day as it was very hard to come by as I explained to you. I also explained to you that it was mid day and not a good time to target specs and reds. I also gave you a big discount even though we still caught a bunch of fish. I did my best to make sure y'all caught fish and did just that. I also sent a message letting you know I was going to be late as I was cleaning fish for my first clients of the day. After talking to you on the phone after reading this review you admitted to knowing all these things mentioned. I am positive nothing I would have done would have made you happy but the rest of your group was having a great time catching fish. I know that I did my job and put y’all on fish that were biting. However, they rent out boats everyday and you can guide yourself next time since you know more about fishing the bay than the locals! Thanks for the review!

Hey Joel. We're sorry to see this review and hear that the trip was a letdown for you. I know that Capt Cade reached out to you in advance to let you know about the bait shortage and offered to take $150 off the price for the inconvenience, but I understand that this is still not the beginning to a fishing trip that you want. Cade also let you know that he thought spanish mackerel would be more productive than speckled trout and your group agreed to switch target species to have better odds of a successful trip (which worked in this case). Regardless, we still want to leave everyone with a good taste in their mouths and we've reached out to talk about a discount on a future trip here.
