We booked a flounder trip for 4 with Captain Pat, we met at the boat ramp on time and the evening started, it was a little slow at first due to a low tide and muddy waters but Captain Pat worked his tail off hitting numerous locations and after a couple hours we had our limits! Captain Pat did a great job and we will definitely book him again!

Captain Pat; first impressions- prompt, on time and ready for the day’s fishing. Equipment was prepared and ready for use, boat was clean, well maintained.
The man was energetic, dedicated to getting his “guests “ on redfish. Captain Pat was amicable and obvious good standing with his fellow boat captains due to their witty good natured exchanges. On the bay and bayou he was very chatty, told good fishing tales and was always quick to assist with bait, casting and netting the fish.
During our expedition a boater needed assistance and he was able to assist the boat, assist getting the boat’s guest getting onto a new charter and professional that he is coordinating with another boat captain and got us into a “hot spot” of redfish, limiting out.
Captain Pat receives high praise and hearty endorsement from my family. He definitely knows the Matagorda Bay Area and was witnessed being a resource to his fellow charter boat captains.
Captain Pat, “Respect” and Thank you.

We had a great time with Captain Pat. Water visibility was low, but he still found a way to get us on a cooler full of flounder. My 16 & 12-yr old sons got their fair share too and are looking forward to our next trip.
