    Trip: BAY TRIP! Light Tackle Only

  • ★★★★★
    Great trip with Capt. Michael! He put us on the fish: 7 speckled trout and 5 black drum in our 4-hour trip. Despite varying weather—we had clouds, sunshine, heavy fog and even a bit of rain—we went home with a nice catch thanks to his knowledge and skill. Highly recommend!!

    Trip: Galveston Jetty Trip

  • ★★★★★
    I had the best trip out with Captain Leb and his brother. As a VERY novice fisherman, I felt comfortable and at ease. They taught me so much and time just flew by. I cannot recommend this charter enough- they are kind, funny, and of course knowledgeable. Bonus: it was just me, a female, on the trip. Felt like I was fishing with two of my brothers. Can’t wait to get back down here.
