    The three of us went fishing with Captain Corey on Friday 9/19/25. Captain Corey is the most conscientious captain we have ever fished/caught with. He provided his fishing knowledge and guidance without overbearance. His knowledge comes from a lifetime of boating and fishing/catching in Texas. He knew exactly where to go for catching and what to do when we got there. There was no shortage of good quality bait on board and no skimping when and where it was needed. We caught about ten Red fish and kept six with one needing a tag. Captain Corey provided us with much comfort on the boat and he was very anxious to help everyone who wanted it. We had a comfortable boat ride which included slowing down for the wake of other boats. We will definitely be asking for Captain Corey again , either in Port A and /or Galveston.

    Good job Corey! Corey was good at communicating via text leading up to the time we left. He did tell us the fishing was slow in the morning and left it up to us on if we wanted to go or not. Of course we DID! it was a nice day to be on the water. Corey put us on all the spots and we did catch but just not big enough to keep. Thanks again Corey! we will see you soon!!!
