Pelican Island Angelausflüge

Fishing was good all day. Caught fish at every spot. Hooked up a 35 inch red. With expertise of captain richard put it in the boat.

Captain Matt was very personable and professional. Handled all fishing needs and wasn’t 5 minutes before we were reeling in fish which lasted until we left. Great time and the captain was a really good guy. Recommend nautilus charters to whoever wants a good fishing adventure.

Wow...what a trip!! From start to finish, the trip more than met our expectations! The captain knew right where the fish were biting. Captain Shannon was knowledgeable and accommodating. I highly recommend!!

Captain Shannon was awesome to hang out with and catch fish!! He got on fish right away and when they weren’t biting would change locations and get us right back the fish.

We had a wonderful time on our trip. Our captain worked hard to get us to lots of different areas with different species to catch. Very respectful, patient, and kind with our boys, too!

Awesome experience, great getaway from the family on our family getaway. Puts you on the fish!

Wasn’t ideal conditions but we were in it to learn new techniques and for the experience. We caught fish and learned a lot. The captain was so great! We plan to book with him again.

This was my first fishing charter, Shannon was super easy to get along with and listen to. We limited out on Black Drums and were able to take filets home! Looking to book another charter during a later season for deeper water! Highly recommend. He also steered us to Hulu Huli Hut which will cook your catch too!

Had a great time out fishing with Capt. John! He was very knowledgeable and his boat and equipment were top notch. John had us on fish from the first cast and we were able to go home with plenty to eat! Would highly recommended booking with Big Tex Charters!

Great captain will definitely make sure you get the fish you want. The mate (sorry I can’t remember her name) is great as well and knows how to fish. I would definitely recommend fishing this charter if you live in Texas or just visiting.

We've been out twice now with Frisky Reds and always have a successful and enjoyable time! The boat, Captain, & Crew are all top-notch! We'll be going back again to Frisky Reds!

I have been out fishing with many guides. I would rank this in the top 5 of my 60 years of fishing. 26 black drum,3 nice trout, one sheepshead, and as many missed as caught. Cory was knowledgeable, knew where to fish, and made for a great day. Will see him again soon and hope you will too.

Go and book him as soon as you can , unless I’m fishing that weekend then y’all go home.

Captain Shannon is very good with helping out the people that are not experienced fishermen!

The caption is awesome. had a great time had some laughs caught some fish. Will be back again!

Captain Chris did everything he could possibly do to put us on fish the entire trip. We will definitely be using Smoke n reels fishing charters in the future..

Captain Garcia put us on fish, kept the trip safe and was a joy to be around.

Corey got us on the fish both days and we had the pleasure of listening to tons of fish stories. Great captain that I’d recommend to anyone looking to have a good time!

Had an awesome time fishing! Corey's knowledge and communication was outstanding from setup to delivery to completion. Hearing Fish Tales while making Fish Tales and memories was worth it. Can't recommend enough. Can't comment any more, have to prep these filets for chowing down on.

It was fun trip we were going after shark but only ended up catching a massive Redfish. We only saw one other boat catch a fish it was just a slow day of fishing. Captain Matt took us multiple spots trying to get us another one however it just wasn’t in the cards. That’s why it’s fishing and not catching. It was a great trip overall and if I’m ever back in Galveston I’ll be doing it again!
