Amazing experience

The captain and crew were amazing. They were very knowledgeable and patient with my kids. I brought 4 little kids on board and they even helped by catching a fish themselves and letting my 5 year old reel it in. Cesar and David are awesome!

Fun 4 hours

Not a high end fishing excursion, but well worth the money. Crew was so fun and helpful. Nice way to spend 4 hours and enjoy a family outing. Most of our family had not really fished before so a great way to introduce them to this activity. You can bring your own lunch, snacks and alcoholic beverages.

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

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.
