    We had an amazing experience thanks to Captain Mike. We were sort of unlucky since gars were not attracted to our baits on that day, but captain Mike tried his best to catch a gigantic alligator gar and we finally got one. You may never experience this anywhere else. Please note that this alligator gar trip begins in Corsicana, not De Soto.

    Our guide was Justin through Garzilla. We had a blast. He was funny, nice, and he got us fish real fast. He was on time and didn't make us wait. All around, great guy and great charter. 100% worth the money if you wanna catch some big ones.

    I fished with Joe, and he was great. Taught me a lot about my boat and showed me some great spots on Hubbard. I will for sure be calling Joe in the future to help me. Had a blast

    Even though the fish weren't biting, anytime I get to spend time with my kiddo is worth it. Brandon was an awesome guide. He took us to several spots, but Mother Nature just wasn't having it today, and it started storming. He was great company and an awesome guide. Even though he didn't have to, he offered to bring us back out, as a make good. We can't wait to get back out. We're ready to drag 'em in.
