We had an absolute blast with Captain Shannon. We had so much fun catching monster Red Snappers right off the bat. After we caught all our tags worth, we moved to a reef and caught some gorgeous Mangrove Snappers. We saw reef fish of all species and even caught a puffer fish!!! We caught and released most of our fish due to a long flight home so the ones you see aren’t even all of them! On the way back to shore the Captain surprised us and helped us catch a massive Cobia. It was an experience unlike any other fishing trip and memories we will treasure forever. My husband and I are so thankful we chose Captain Shannon for a Honeymoon experience that was unforgettable!

Captain Shannon put together a fantastic fishing trip for our honeymoon. My husband and I had a goal for the day: catch one shark. Little did we know we’d end up catching over a dozen!

The day started off a little drizzly, but Captain Shannon hopped the boat around the bay to avoid the clouds. The shrimp boats weren’t dragging so he put out a chum bag to draw the sharks to us. It wasn’t long before they started biting. We didn’t sit idle more than 10-15 minutes at a time before another bite. The largest shark we caught is in the attached picture, probably around 3.5’. We attempted to reel in a few larger than that, but they were too powerful and able to snap the line. That’s just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes, and we have no regrets. It was an outstanding trip and we won’t book with anyone but Captain Shannon in the future!

Note: My 6’ 4” husband was winded reeling in all these sharks… it takes work! I wasn’t much help being pregnant and so easily winded, but Captain Shannon was helpful and set the reels to ‘granny gear’ to give me more torque so I could accomplish something!

The weather was stormy with sheets of rain,  but Shannon really wanted us to go fishing, so he moved the time back a little and we were able to go! He made our trip a memory of a life time! He took us right to the fish! We got hits the whole time! We were busy getting hits the whole time that we forgot to eat and snacks and drink water. Lol Everyone caught fish and my nephew, (first timer) caught a 28in. Spotted Sea Trout! We were so excited because Shannon told us it was the biggest trout he has seen this year! Just an overall amazing trip with an amazing Capt! If you have a chance to go out on a boat and fish, please do so. And if you do, please pick Shannon! He will make your fishing trip exciting and exceed all expectations. Fantastic job sir and we WILL see you next year for the Red Snapper trip. 2 thumps up!

After the weather man screwed up in his forecast, we had to push our trip to another day. It was a bit overcast and windy but it didn’t matter…
Captain Shannon immediately put us on the fish. I myself was the first to catch a keeper of the Four we caught(Black Drum).The other two were oversized due toTexas regulations. Once that spot slowed down we then went to do some Flounder fishing. I again was able to catch first out of the five poles in the water. All and All.. It was a great experience and I got to make some memories with my sons and my good buddy. Definitely going to do it again..

We got to Galveston with bad weather and Captain Shannon immediately recommended we reschedule for the next day. Excellent advice given. He cared about us having a good time and catching fish!! We got out on the water and within 5 minutes caught the double black drum!! Ended up catching 11 black drum (min 20+/max 45 lbs), 2 catfish, and a bull red!!! We’ve fished all over the world and this was by far one of our top trips!!! Saw dolphins and watched pelicans dive next to the boat for fish during down time. Great family experience and memories made thanks to Captain Shannon!!! Complete professional and family focused fun!! And loved the classic rock!! Will be booking a summer/fall trip again!! Thanks!!
