June 15, 2026Captain Cody is outstanding! We had an absolute blast on the water. Not only is he a great guy, but he also knows exactly how to put anglers on fish. We noticed another boat nearby with several anglers, yet we were consistently catching more fish throughout the trip. It was just my 12-year-old son and me, and we managed to catch an incredible variety of species, including redfish, black drum, speckled trout, ladyfish, gar, stingrays, and even a few unexpected surprises. Every stop seemed to produce action, making for an unforgettable day. Thank you, Captain Cody, for an amazing experience. We’re already looking forward to coming back for another trip!

March 26, 2026Cody is the best I’ve ever been out with. He worked it hard, put us on the fish. 6 hour tour. My son and I had an excellent trip. We had 10 black drums, 3 red drums and 6 specs, not including all the expected under sizes for this time of year. Cody is highly recommended to any and all. Thank you Cody you will be seeing us again

March 19, 2026We had an amazing experience on our fishing trip with Captain Cody. From the moment we arrived, he was professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to making sure we had a successful day on the water. His expertise was evident as he consistently kept us on fish, resulting in nonstop action and a wide variety of catches throughout the trip. What impressed us most was how great he was with our son. Cody was patient, encouraging, and made sure he felt included every step of the way. He created a fun and welcoming atmosphere that made the day even more memorable for our family. If you're looking for a hardworking guide who knows the local waters, puts in the effort to help you catch fish, and truly cares about providing a great experience, Captain Cody is the one to book. We highly recommend him and can't wait to fish with him again.

February 23, 2026My husband and I have been on several charters in several coastal areas and have always had a good time. Today with Captain Cody was the best! Captain Cody put us on the fish right away. We caught Reds, Black Drum, Flounder, Speckled Trout, Bass, Channel Cat, and the biggest Sheepshead we have ever seen. We caught alot of fish and so many different varieties. Captain Cody is knowledgeable about his trade, relaxed, and easy to chat with. Will definitely book again when in the Galveston area!

February 14, 2026Captain Cody took us to many different locations to fish. His boat was very clean and kept up. Assisted with casting, baiting and as needed. He was very nice and offered rain coat and made sure seat was dry. We caught plenty of wide variety of fish while we were out with him. He knew exactly where to cast to get a bite. Would use him again.

November 29, 2025Terrible weather but Cody made the best of it for us. Had an 8 year old and a 16 year old grandkids and Cody made sure they caught some fish. He went above and beyond making sure they had fun and learned a new technique of fishing we’ve never done before. I highly recommend Cody for anyone who wants a great experience fishing the bay’s of Galveston. Top notch captain.
