AMAZING!!! Our trip with COREY was exactly what we had hoped for. My husband and I took our 2 young boys fishing with Corey and he was so great with them. It was our fish time fishing salt water, and he made it a breeze. He was so good with the boys and was on top of everything the entire time. Not only did he bait their hooks, help them when reeling in and getting fish off the line, he taught them and encouraged them as well. He was so great!! Corey also had a great personality and my entire family felt like he was someone we’ve known forever. He was really an easy-going guy to be around. The weather wasn’t really in our favor, but Corey went above and beyond to make it happen for the boys. He also cleaned the fish, of course, and did it in good time. He was punctual and communicated very well :) Money well spent, and we will definitely be booking with Corey when we come back to the beach again. Great guy and great trip! :) He’s your man.

5 STARS
Captain Corey is truly top-notch! From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made us feel welcome, safe, and excited for the day ahead. His knowledge of the water, weather, and fishing spots is outstanding — we were reeling in fish in no time. He provided great tips, top-quality gear, and a lot of laughs along the way. You can tell he’s passionate about what he does and really cares about making sure...

Captain Corey is exactly what we were hoping for! We took a family fishing trip with our 3 kiddos and his patience with them was wonderful! We had a windier day than we were hoping for, but Captain Cory didn’t disappoint and we all caught some nice redfish and made some lifelong memories with our kids!

We had a great experience with Corey. He had a very nice, clean, newer boat with all new fishing poles that were top of the line. He was very patient as we had three new fisherman onboard including our 6 year old daughter and her grandmother. You can't beat a morning out on Port Aransas waters.

We had a great trip with Corey. In spite of strong winds forcing us to less productive areas, we caught 6 assorted keepers - including a couple of 25" reds - and released a bunch more. Corey was very friendly and accommodating, and his boat was very comfortable and well equipped.
