Marty was a great captain for us! He took us out and got us on fish almost immediately. He took great care making sure all 4 of us were able to experience pulling in a fish. He baited every line and cleaned all of our fish when we got back to dock. Would absolutely recommend captain Marty to anyone looking for an easy going and knowledgeable guide.

Booked trip, received a call from Captain Marty about the winds and weather conditions. Was given the option to reschedule (not an option as we were leaving the day after) or they could get us out later in the day, fishing another area and Captain Landon would take us out. Winds progressively got worse while on the water. Appreciate the trying but wish we had been given a refund, or voucher for next time and told us conditions weren’t fishable before we were already on the water. Captain was nice, but told us himself the weather/wind and waves made it basically unfishable. He tried his best to get us on fish, motors were unable to keep boat steady and he didn’t want to anchor, sadly didn’t get on any fish. Still tipped for efforts.

Response from Marty:

Hi Tiffany,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand how disappointing it can be when weather conditions impact a fishing trip, especially when you’re visiting from out of town and don’t have the flexibility to reschedule.

Prior to your trip, Captain Marty contacted you to discuss the forecasted wind and weather conditions and offered the option to reschedule. Understanding that rescheduling wasn’t possible due to your travel plans, we worked to provide an alternative by adjusting the trip location and having Captain Landan take you out in an effort to give you the best experience possible under the circumstances.

Unfortunately, weather on the Gulf can be unpredictable, and conditions can change quickly throughout the day. While the trip remained within safe operating conditions, the increasing wind and waves certainly made fishing more challenging than anyone would have liked. We appreciate Captain Landan’s efforts to continue searching for fish despite the difficult conditions.

We truly regret that the fishing did not meet your expectations and understand your frustration. We also appreciate your recognition of our captains’ communication and efforts throughout the trip.

Thank you again for choosing us, and we wish you safe travels and tighter lines on your future fishing adventures.
