Fantastic first time experience with Captain Chris in South Padre. This was my first ever fishing charter and because of Chris, will not be my last. He was a phenomenal teacher out on the water and truly cared that our group had a fun time. Highly recommend if you are in the area

I took my wife and three children (10,11,14) on this trip and it was an amazing experience.  We all caught a fish and Captain Cole gave us great pointers and conversation.  I would recommend this fishing experience to anyone especially those fisherman like me who don’t normally come back back with any fish.  Great time kids loved it and want to do it again next summer.

We had a great day on the sea with Captain Chris and his boat. Constantly checking to see if we needed anything and constantly concerned about getting us to the greatest fishing area possible made our expedition an unforgettable experience. I would suggest this vacation to anyone who likes fishing and having fun. The adventure was completed by delivering our catch to Black Beards for the tastiest fish supper any of us had ever eaten. Excellent suggestions, Chris, and we can't wait to return!
