We had a great fishing trip. Captain was very knowledgeable and really tried to catch fish. We would definitely go with these guys again.

Son and I had a awesome trip with Capt Danny. Wind was blowing but found birds and found lots of fish. Main goal was to put my son on some nice redfish and last stop paid off with four redfish in less than 20 minutes. Would have liked one slot but that is why they call it fishing and I’ll take 4 rats over nothing any day. We did get some specs and sand trout to take home. Best part was back at the dock when we rigged up a sand trout and son Hooked into a huge alligator gar that he fought for almost ten minutes. Thanks again for a enjoyable trip.

Coordination was iffy from the get go. We booked with "Mike" who had great reviews instead of the other trip that did not have great reviews and was from Hitchcock. After an early morning text (30 minutes before we were supposed to be there) we were told we would be with a different guide and it would indeed be out of Hitchcock.

We were paired with a guide who was extremely vulgar, made my girlfriend extremely uncomfortable (hit on her all day), and did a poor job cleaning the fish. The fish were then thrown into our cooler without bags or any idea of what was what and the filets were cut like crap. Would never use this guide again and made me think twice about the service in general.

We caught 3 fish and it was a beautiful day so I'll throw an extra star on here. The booking system seems to be close to being great but was disappointed (and a bit pissed off) to say the least.

Hi John, thank you for your feedback but I must say this review surprises me as the captain forwarded me a text directly from you thanking him for a GREAT morning (I will attach if it allows me) and he kept y'all out for almost 2 extra hours since fishing was slow because he said y'all were awesome folks and he enjoyed your company and wanted to put more fish in the box. Fishing was super slow yesterday and the captain networked calling various other guides that voiced the same outcome and that just happens sometimes.
As far as booking "Hitchcock",yes the address which is displayed on this 3rd party site is Hitchcock but it is on Galveston's West Bay so it is fishing out of Galveston and the address was again given to you the day before in the very detailed email we send out from us directly so it was not changed on you 30 minutes prior to the trip.

Reviews list different captains on our listing with this site so there was no misleading you that only captain Mike runs trips. We have 4 boats and 5 captains so Captain Mike is not a guarantee and no requested were made for a specific guide.

As far as language, when a captain calls me and says man this group cussed like sailors (before you even reviewed) that means something because they get a lot of vulgar language on the boats and the captains read the customers and blend in with them.
Tipping $200 and sending a personal text to the captain thanking him suggests a much difference experience than voiced on this 3rd party site.

Thanks again and please feel free to email me directly with any additional questions or comments.
