I am a two time cancer survivor, hepatitis c survivor, and liver transplant recipient. Being delivered from these hardships and saved by Jesus Christ I am very fortunate to take my lifelong passion for fishing and share it with others. Regardless of your current beliefs and situation I seek to share with you the pleasure and refreshment of fishing and God’s wonderful creation. Also as you can imagine I have a special compassion and understanding for those faced with health issues or even a grim diagnosis, so please do not hesitate to send them my way.

Justen was absolutely awesome I had a blast. He got me onto the target species I wanted instantly as well as other that I've never caught before. Top notch captain, gear and boat couldn't ask for better will definitely be booking with him again. Non stop action!

Great time with Capt. Justen. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We caught a good mixed bag of fish and hope to go fishing with him again.

Justen was amazing! Had us on fish all night between big reds and slot buster speckled trout we had a busy night and he kept up with us making sure we had everything we needed. I would plan a trip to Galveston just to go fishing with him again. Amazing experience!!
