The boys had a good time, they mentioned it was right after a large tournament so it was a little slow on the fishing but they had a good time .

Captain Alex was fantastic! When the temperature dropped we weren’t really sure the fishing trip would commence. Captain Alex was not phased and happily braved the cold for my very strong willed 13 year old. Thanks to Captain Alex and his knowledge of the bay, the boys brought in some great sized Red Fish and we had a wonderful dinner that night. Great guide! Highly recommend!

I booked a last minute trip with captain Jim Garrison from the captains experience site while visiting my parents in San Antonio. I’m glad I picked him, within five minutes of anchoring I caught my first red fish and kept catching fish all morning. He is very knowledgeable and made it a fun trip for me. We shared stories and had some laughs too. For a fun day of fishing in Rockport, I recommend booking with captain Jim.

We enjoyed our fishing trip with Captain Jim. We caught some keepers. He taught us a few fishing tips and was also entertaining. We can't wait for our next trip.

Captain Jim was amazing! Despite the weather he put us on the fish and shared the techniques on how to get them in the boat. With exception of the weather we could not have asked for a better trip or captain. Definitely recommend! And we will be back!

Capt. Jim took out my dad, brother in law, and myself for a 6 hour trip. It started off a little slow but he put us on fish and we were able to land some nice reds, black drum, and even a flounder. Had a great trip and got to spend quality time with my dad and brother in law. Great trip over all.

4 of us went out with Jim on july 9 after very heavy rains. I'm talking 20 inches. The whole town was flooded but he still managed to get us on the water. Jim did his absolute best to try and put us on the fish. We fished Rockport to Port Aransas but just couldn't find the fish. The weather was great. While we wernt catching any limits of fish He kept us amused with all his stories, Lots of laughter. I would recommend him to others. Donald S Victoria, Tx
