Release a lever for the hook to sink down; push a button to reel up your catch.Some of the deckhands will cast our trolling lines and if a large fish catches on, they'll call you to reel it in and keep the catch.

I'm not sure what blew more, the quality of the fishing, plumes of cigarette smoke getting devoured by the "crew" every five minutes (who in their day jobs must be the members of Port A's finest Metallic cover band), or the stench of the bathrooms on board that probably have not been cleaned since 1982.

Boat is in great shape and all fishing equipment is new. The cost was $60 in June.We didn't have much luck and we only caught about 15 fish, mostly kingfish, between 20 people. there were about 25 peeps who went on this trip so it was pretty busy. The deckhands were rude and couldnt help the way they should because there were too many of us. We got to the dock a few minutes early and found out that this was not the boat that he took a few years ago.
The crew looked like they could have stared in a cops episode. There was no evening trip so the Captain kept us out for 2 extra hours which was great! Evidently,on the day we had our trip one of the other big boats had a maint issue.

In total, 100+ LBs worth of fish.The deckhands were again awesome! Take a small group of up to 6 people and test the shallow waters around Port Aransas for trout, redfish, flounder, drum, and more!
Worst experience ever. If the moon was in the east, the tide was coming in; or if in the west, the tide was flowing out the Golden Gate. I guess it's true what they say...you get what you pay for!! If your gonna make us be on your boat for almost 12 hours, have enough to satisfy your customers who paid to be there.
Unprofessional, unresponsive trash is the best way to put it. Capt. It reminded me of the state fair where all the little kids line up elbow to elbow and catch cat fish. These guys are awesome!
Thomas targets redfish, trout, black drum, sheepshead and flounder all ages are welcome. In the early day of Fisherman’s Wharf, the fishermen got their news about the weather from nature instead of a radio report.

These guys are awesome! Save your money (& your orfactory glands) & skip this one......

I think we processed like 75 LBs worth of fish and the total was around $35. You weren't allowed to bring your own snacks onboard, they sold snacks on board....small bottle of water for $1.50...small bags of chips, about the same...didn't even wanna know the price of a beer.7. Checked other boats the same day and they came back full of red snapper. It was easy to book online.3. We had a wonderful day fishing last weekend. We caught fish till we limited out on both reds and drum, and he kept us laughing the whole time. So plan ahead to make sure the weather is just right. We made reservations over the phone and no credit card information was given. Porpoises playing around the boat indicated a bad wind was brewing. Truly genuine fisherman and at the time they were bring in loads of red snapper, My sons and I had a great time! These guys are awesome. We went in October so there was only about 20 total.
Who would spray people with fish gut water who came inside the room. He was rude to the staff, the passengers and other boats. So, let's go back to #1...multiply times 84....6. Capt. The staff was very nice and started preparing the poles before stopping at the first site. When we went out only one fish was caught on the entire boat and it was a small catfish. The seas were rough that day and as we were leaving the dock the captain announced that, "the seas are going to be sporting today". Sutton enjoys teaching his clients all aspects of fishing from beginner to avid angler! They were super patient with the kids and always helping everyone out to make a great trip!
