    Josh was amazing! There was 4 of us. I brought my father (77) and my two sons (7 and 12). Our guide Josh was great with the kids and my father. Experienced and professional. We caught 12 black drum. By the end of the trip Josh had My oldest son casting and reeling them in. He caught 5 of the 12. My youngest son caught caught three with the help of Josh. My dad and I had a great time and my sons are hooked for life. Thank you Josh.

    Great trip. Limited on Sheapshead. 25 total fish between 3 people. Shane did a great job of making sure we had what we needed to keep catching

    If you are looking to catch fish at any experience level and have a trip to remember, Mitch is an outstanding and friendly guide! He was well prepared, communicated times and location well, and was very knowledgeable of the location and local wildlife. He even fileted and packaged our catch for us. Above and beyond service. highly recommended by me and my father!

    Amazing day on the ocean with captain Joe. Captain Joe is a great guy who is very personable and fun to be with. He helped my kids fish the whole time and they each caught a ton of fish. He was very knowledgeable and answered the million questions I asked all day. I will book with him again in the future.

    We all had a great time with Tristan and his crew! These guys are awesome! We unfortunately didn't get a fish, but that's fishing. They had some fun beach games to play and we all had a great time together! Definitely will be back with Tristan!

    We didn't get a hit, but learned about the process and had a great time. Tristan and Corbit were great. There may have been a snag with the booking and guide schedule coordination, but Tristan resolved the double booking glitch. Booking agent was unable to answer basic questions about the trip, but better information with call back.

    Tristan and Benny were really great with our large group, continually answered questions and attentive. We unfortunately didn't get any bites but we plan to book again and would recommend them for any group size. Thanks for making our charter so much fun. Greatest 50th birthday ever!!

    The sharks didn’t cooperate on our trip but that was no fault of Tristan and Benny. They are some good dudes and we enjoyed talking with them. They tried hard, just wasn’t in the cards for us that evening. We’ll try it again next time we’re in town.

    Excellent! Doug is a nice guy and very knowledgeable about the waters and fish. The boat was well equipped and he put us on the fish immediately. One of best fishing trips Linda and I have ever experienced! Thank you Doug. Sincerely, Linda and Ron Yearout

    5 star guide easy. No we didn’t limit out but you won’t find a guide out there that will put in the time and energy that CAPT Mitch did. He got us on fish and I will go with him exclusively when I go with a guide. He’s that good.

    Went out there and hooked onto a monster. About 15 people watched us fight that monster for 35-40 minutes till it popped loose and a bunch of them were all shark fisherman who agreed that it was huge. Never got to finally bring him in, but tristan was knowledge, personable, well equipped with the proper gear, and an overall really good guide to use. I’d definitely use him again👍🏼

    Captain Caleb was excellent! He put us on fish almost immediately and anticipated our needs for casting, baiting hooks, and of course, netting the fish. Our eleven-year-old grandson chose this trip because he had never been fishing in salt water before. It was his favorite part of our visit to Corpus. Captain was patient with us and also gave us a few helpful hints to improve our experience. We enjoyed the experience very much!
