I grew up never being a fan of bay fishing due to having some bad experiences with Captains being rude and giving half ass efforts while on the water. Five years ago or so, some friends convinced my wife and I to go fishing with them in Rockport with this Captain they always raved about, Capt. Jay Nichols.  It was all over after he put me on my first Red.  I have gone out with Jay numerous times over the years and have had a blast every trip.  Even when it’s slow, you will not see many Captains work as hard as he does to try to put his clients on the fish.  Remember, it’s fishing, not catching, there are THOSE days, but still worth being on the boat who makes you feel like a friend rather than a client.  The selfish part of me didn’t want to write a review cause I go last minute fishing quite often and don’t want him to be completely booked, lol, but he deserves it.  Book with Capt. Jay, you won’t regret it!
