This trip was for my 82-year-old father and me, and Capt. Jordan couldn’t have been more kind or patient. Despite our inexperience with this type of fishing, he never showed frustration and went out of his way to ensure we had an absolutely fantastic time. I can’t recommend him highly enough—thank you, Capt. Jordan, for an unforgettable experience!

Our day of fishing with Captain Terry of Stringer Stretcher Outfitters LLC was nothing short of amazing. Terry's professionalism and friendliness made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. He effortlessly guided us to prime fishing locations, and his patience and encouragement helped even the least experienced anglers in our group reel in some impressive catches. The boat and equipment were top-notch, adding to the overall exceptional experience. Thank you, Captain Terry, for a memorable day on the water. We can't wait to book our next trip with you!

Our group of four enjoyed a delightful half-day excursion on the water with Captain Norbert. His boat offers comfortable seating for four, complete with padded cushions and convenient cup holders for the rear seats. Norbert is not only a pleasant individual but also extremely helpful. To our delight, we were treated to an unexpected spectacle of multiple dolphin pods, much to the kids' excitement. We look forward to returning for another fishing adventure with Norbert in the future!

The captain was excellent, putting in a lot of effort to ensure a great experience for our family of five. Despite strong winds, he managed to find us fish. We're grateful for the wonderful time and will definitely recommend Captain Zach to others.

I thoroughly enjoyed our fishing trip and afternoon with Captain Chad. He was very knowledgeable about the Matagorda area and it's history. We were dealing with some windy conditions but Captain Chad still found a way to put us on the bite. It was very comfortable fishing 4 people with his boat. I will most definitely be booking another guided fishing trip with Chad again soon.
