Captain Zack was professional and knowledgeable. My wife was a first time fisherman.  He was patient, instructive and understanding. I have much more fishing experience than my wife and Captain Zack allowed me to make more of my own decisions but was also informative with his knowledge as this was my first salt water fishing trip. Captain Zack was much more than I was expecting. He was prepared, his boat was clean and ready for quest. He was on time and communicated well what plans and expectations he had for the trip. Captain Zack was also aware of weather conditions and wind for the day.
  I’m a safety first type person and have a low tolerance for taking unnecessary risk. Never once on this trip did I feel an unsafe act was carried out.  I remained comfortable and at ease the entire day.
I would do this trip again given the opportunity.  I would recommend Captain Zack to anyone. First time or experienced fisherman.

My extended family (70+ year old grandparents down to my 4 year old son) did the 2 hour charter for a boat cruise and fishing.  We had a great time out with Captain Zach, who was patient with us (some novice fishermen) and with my son, who was enjoying playing with the bait fish.  He helped ensure those who might get sea sick did not, giving recommendations and also ensuring to go to places where the waters were calm.  We did not catch any fish that we could keep, but we were all so happy about being out on the boat. 

Zach is the best!!! There were quite a few boats out and no one was getting hits. Instead of staying in the same place like the others, he kept moving us until he found the sweet spot!!! Where he quickly noticed that the Bull reds were eating the crabs floating by, and started netting the crabs for us to use for bait. Which led to an incredible spree!!! My son caught a 45” bull red which is close to the state record, and all of us just kept reeling them in!!! What an incredible time!!!! More than what we expected or could have even hoped for!!! We caught 6 monsters in that area. When the current changed and the site died he took us to another spot for trout, and sure enough he had us reeling them in again!!! His knowledge of where to go, and how to bait and fish is extraordinary!!!! At the dock he fileted the ones we could keep like a master, and gave us great advice on how to prepare each type. One last thing, there were plenty of opportunities where Zack could have fudged things (like two fish were less than a quarter inch from being legal) but he did not compromise his principles at all. You really have to respect a man like that. Because of Zach we are planning another trip with him. He made it an incredible experience!!!

Zack was wonderful. It was a windy day that was hard to fish, we didn’t catch much but that wasn’t for Zack’s lack of skill or knowledge of the waters. It was too rough to fish certain areas and most of the fish we caught were too small to keep. But even though we didn’t catch much we had a great time out with Zack, he kept us laughing and we learned a lot.
Would definitely go again with Zack if in the area!
It was an added bonus that they filet the fish as you get off the boat and the restaurant at the yacht club will cook up your catch for you right there! Our small catch was tasty and we had a great morning. A wonderful last day of our honeymoon.

We had a great half day fishing with Cap Thomas. We caught several different varieties of fish and overall were very pleased with the service, boat, captain, and equipment. They had to switch boats on us at the last minute but called to explain and offer different options. Cap Thomas was super understanding when we had someone get sick and got us back to shore in no time. We will book again on our next trip to Galveston!
