Catch and cook - Caught a good stringer of fish that they fileted and we took to Joe's in Port Isabel to have them cook them up for us! Great experience

Bigron from nebraska! - Excellent boat & crew! Had a wonderful trip out in the bay! Close up to the starship lsunchbase! Cool! Dress warm for early morning trip in late February! No food on board! Unfortunately the fish weren’t biting!

Bay fishing - It was a great trip. Unfortunately for us it was a little too cold for fishing in the bay. The crew was great. Cesar, Dave, Nick & Chris were great hosts.

Look elsewhere - The worst guide service I've hired. The equipment provided was completely oversized for the fish we were fishing. If you come from out of town and have to rely on their gear look elsewhere.

Scam - Selfish and won't go out without large groups, only worry about money not customers, they rescheduled 3 times then canceled completely
