About Your Guide

Steven C.

Independent Guide

Master surf and shark angler Steven started his venture to spend more time on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, fishing his days away. As a lifelong fishing enthusiast, he decided to pursue his dream and provide surf fishing guidance, equipment, and relaxation to anyone looking for an escape from daily life and the opportunity to take part in this amazing sport.

Book your next land-based shark fishing adventure with Steven for an opportunity to reel in a catch you can really brag about. Sharks are abundant in the warm waters near Galveston’s North Jetty and the rest of the coast from May to September. Since most sharks will put up an admirable fight, you can expect to test your athleticism when you’re not kicking back and relaxing on the beach.

Steven's mission is to create an exceptional land-based shark and surf fishing experience for all customers. Whether you’re a first-timer or a pro angler, there’s a place for you on the Texas Coast. We are a local, professional, and friendly angling guide that you can trust!

How did you get started guiding?

It’s a very expensive hobby so I decided to get paid doing it to support the cost. After doing it I realized soon that I enjoyed watching and helping people catch their monster fish.

What makes you different from other guides?

I take pride in what I do.

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.
