Trip - Quick Cast Morning Fishing Trip In South Padre Island - Black Drum, Redfish And Sea Trout on August 4, 2025
Clock Icon 7:00 AM - 10:00 AM

My 11 yr old son and I went out on our first ever bay fishing experience and we had a great time. We decided on a 3 hour trip and once we returned to the marina a new our next fishing outing will be a 5 hour trip with Capt. Marc. Capt. Marc greeted us with a smile and a firm handshake. He asked a few questions regarding our fishing experience and within 5 minutes we were on his boat getting ready to head out. Once we arrived to our first stop he explained every detail from baiting your hook, casting and retrieving your line. He showed us his patience, professionalism and expertise for the sport. Capt. Marc made sure we caught fish and if we weren't getting any bites he would then move to other spots in the bay. He made it his mission my 11 yr old experience catching and reeling in as many fish possible from black drum, trout and spitter jack. The both of us loved it! His boat was nice and clean with top fishing gear. We definitely book Capt. Marc again and will do a 5 hour trip. Highly recommend Capt.Marc! You won't regret it!

Trip - Quick Cast Morning Fishing Trip In South Padre Island - Black Drum, Redfish And Sea Trout on July 23, 2025
Clock Icon 7:00 AM - 10:00 AM

From the start we had clear and responsive communication. Day of the trip our start time delayed an hour based on the prior days experience with fish activity. Saved us an hour in the morning when fish were likely not biting. On the water it was an active hunt to find fish and get a group worth casting on. If things dried up we moved on. Our guide was known with other guides and they communicated in efforts to work together and find the best spots. Boat was great, equipment was great. Caught some fish and had an outstanding recommendation for a restaurant to have them cooked up. Couldn’t have had a better experience

Trip - Half Day Afternoon Fishing Trip In South Padre Island - Black Drum, Redfish And Sea Trout on July 19, 2025
Clock Icon 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Being our first-time, I didn’t know what to expect. I was hopeful my sons and I would catch 2-3 fish and we caught 12 fish total. We kept 8 good-size black drum fish and have enough filets to have a fish fry party when we return home. We enjoyed the boat ride and from start to finish, Captain Marc was very patience, knowledgeable and skilled in giving us an excellent fishing experience. Captain Marc was always willing to answering my sons’ questions and assisting them in the art of saltwater fishing. My oldest son said fishing outing was his favorite activity during our vacation on the island. On our return trip to the dock, we were thrilled to have time to seeing several groups of dolphins enjoying the day. Finally, I appreciate Captain Marc’s wife for taking photos and videos so we share our experience with family and friends at home. We definitely plan on returning for another fishing outing in the future.

Booked last minute day before and had a great time! Captain Marc was super chill, fun, and helpful! He got us out there on some reds and trout in a couple different spots and let us get at it. Most impressive thing was how quick he’d get us set up to have lines in the water as much as possible, whether it was putting new bait on, getting a fish off the hook, or fixing a rod up if it was tangled, we always had a line in. Very cool boat with plenty of space to get after it!

Start to finish, our experience with Captain Marc was awesome. From the moment he picked us up to reeling in fish and eating our catch, the whole trip was smooth and fun. Captain Marc does more than just guide you through the hours—he actually cares about making it special. His patience, willingness to teach and making sure we had a good time really set him apart. The best part? My daughter who’s always honest about her experiences can’t wait to go again and when she does it’ll be with Captain Marc! I highly recommend him!

Our family had a fantastic half-day trip with Captain Marc, and we can’t recommend his service enough! His boat was comfortable and perfect for bay fishing. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we had fun all day. He provides top-notch gear, and best of all, he put us on plenty of fish! Our kids had an awesome time catching Black Drum and Trout. We’d absolutely book with Marc again, and you definitely shouldn’t wait to book your trip with him!

My girlfriend and I went on an adventure and had an amazing time! We caught black drum, redfish, and trout. While we couldn’t keep any of the reds, reeling in the black drum was an unforgettable experience—it was a real workout since they’re massive! We even spotted a pod of dolphins and tried to feed them, but they weren’t too interested. Overall, it was an incredible trip, worth every penny, and I’d absolutely do it again!
