I started offshore fishing out of South padre in 1986. Working as a deckhand to gain the experience need to become captain in 1990. I ran an offshore boat for Jims Pier for 17 years before going into business for my self in 2001. Owning boats has given me a wealth of knowledge into the care and maintenance necessary to safely fish every day possible. Fishing for a living has proven that being prepared is key to a successful fishing trip. I operate the boat with 1 crewmember who is there to answer clients questions and run the back deck.

My family of 6 (3 teens,3 adults) booked a 6 hour deep sea fishing trip with Todd and Fernando.

My family of 6 (3 teens,3 adults) booked a 6 hour deep sea fishing trip with Todd and Fernando. They were very knowledgeable and so helpful considering we had zero experience with deep sea fishing and half of us were a little sea sick. My husband and I had an amazing time. Todd knew just where you take us to get the fish and if it was a miss he'd move us along to the next spot . Fernando was so hard working and helpful with myself and the kids. I never once had to bait a hook or remove a fish. He was patient with my family and thoroughly explained how to manovour the reel and exactly what to do. There was a bathroom and air conditioned room if needed. I'd definitely book again.

Todd did a great job even though we went out on rough waters and didn't get many fish. That said, I'd still book him again at a different time of year when the water is a bit calmer because he knew where to go and his equipment was top notch.
