Capt. John Ashley was very friendly and knowledgeable of all the bays. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip the entire day. It’s definitely shows that he has guided for quite some time. It started off a little slow, due to nature being the way she is, but come around noon it picked up really quickly and we came home with four keeper reds. Even cooked and ate part of the catch that night. I’m already planning a trip for the fall.

Captain Lee was an excellent guide. Our family of four had an incredible afternoon trip and caught plenty of fish. His knowledge of the area was truly impressive. We’ll definitely be returning for more trips—can’t wait!

Look; not only did David put us on the fish, but he made our experience excellent! He was very easy to get a long with, helpful, and has obviously put a lot of work into creating an experience for his clients. Easily my favorite guide. My friend and I went twice, back to back, fishing for Florida largemouth bass. When we were flying out of Florida, my buddy didn’t have time to take his rods, so he stashed them, and not only did David pick them up, but sent them to my friend when he got home. That’s next level! Also, he dropped pins on some ponds to fish while we were in Florida; putting us on the fish yet again from afar. Highly recommend this charter! P.S. ask him about Henry

Our fishing trip in Aransas Pass aboard B Perez LL was nothing short of exceptional. Captain Benito's expertise led us to abundant catches, and the breathtaking scenery made for an unforgettable experience.

We had a GREAT TIME! I have been to choke canyon multiple times and have left utterly skunked and defeated. It felt great to catch some fish for a change! Seeing Clendon track down fish and the level of knowledge he shared with us to make us better fisherman was PRICELESS! This is by far the best guide experience we have had & the best time we’ve spent at Choke Canyon! Thank you! Yesterday goes down in the books for a lifetime of memories! I highly recommend Clendon for all future guide trips. The dude is a BEAST in the water. 💪🏻
