About Your Guide

Harvey D.

Independent Guide

Hello, I am a U.S. veteran who grew up in the Corpus Christi area. I have continued to fish these waters as much as I can. Learning everything that I can about our different fishing options in and around Corpus Christi.

I just love being out on the water, and I really enjoy sharing the joy that comes from experiencing some of the great things that Padre Island has to offer. It feels good to be able to pontificating people to something new. Seeing their excitement when they catch the special fish, go through that fun fight, or see a side of the Island that they never knew existed.

I want to continue to show people this great place, and teach them that we all play a role in preserving this special fishery. I am blessed to have this opportunity to continue doing what I love, and sharing the best of Padre Island with as many people as I can.

When you book a trip with me, I want to make sure that you have fun and leave knowing more than you did before going on the trip. That goes for whether it's your first time fishing or if you have been fishing the area for years.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
