Bay Fishing South Padre - Trip was amazing, Cesar and DJ (our captains) were really entertaining and we caught a lot of fish. Me and my family would definitely do this again!

Fun ride - Caeser and DJ were great and made the trip worthwhile. A few keepers were caught but mostly a poor day for fishing. Thankfully we weren't counting on fish for lunch.

Twas fun - Unfortunately there weren't many fish out but it was fun to just ride in the boat and feel the breeze. Cj and Cesar also made it worth while.

Good time - We had fun on our trip. Unfortunately, the fish weren't biting. Not the crews fault, of course. They tried really hard. I will say the ad said no more than 20 ppl on the boat. There was definitely closer to 30.

Great time - We went during the 1:00 pm time and enjoyed the captain and crew. We didn’t catch anything, but maybe if we did the other times. A few people on the boat did manage to catch a few fish.

Fun time on the bay. - No bites but a good time. The guys did try to find places where the fish might be biting. The main person helping us had a great sense of humor and considerable knowledge of the fish.

More time moving from place to place than fishing. - Got some cool pics but the fishing was disappointing. 30 people on the boat and 5 fish were caught. More than half of the trip was moving to locations so wasn’t a lot of fishing time. Crew was great just not enough fishing time in my opinion.
