We decided to get info and found out it was $25 per person which is not expensive at all. the captain and his assistant were friendly and... More

We did the Bay fishing 4hour cruise. Caught about 30 fish, had a great time. The guides were knowledgable about the fish, very helpful and vert friendly. After the trip, the guides cleaned, fillet, and packaged our fish for us. Very inexpensive and had a lot of fun.

My husband, mother-in-law and I went out a combined total of 21 times deep sea fishing on the Osprey out of Port Mansfield in Feb. 2012. I would highly recommend this charter. The mates, Steven and Jeremiah, along with Capt. Bobby and Capt. Tommy were first-rate. We have been on several charters in many areas of the country, and this... More

I've never been deep sea fishing before, but this was awesome. Captain Tommy and the crew (Matt, Steven, and Darren) were funny and personable, keeping track of all of us and making sure we got our fish on the boat. I even caught a shark! Definitely a fun adventure and well-worth it.

Just got back from South Padre and took the Bay fishing trip on 08/03. We had a fantastic time! The crew was so helpful! The captain (I am so sorry but I can't remember his name) was so funny and had us cracking up! They provided all the tackle and bait and even took the fish off the hooks. It... More

The captain and crew are fine gentlemen - we went on the 12 hour trip. When we returned to go again, Pablo (behind the counter) was rude, arrogant, and told me to go elsewhere when I questioned one of his replies. So I went elsewhere, and overheard a lady complaining about the miserable customer service she received from Pablo. Both... More
