Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Mike consistently puts clients on diverse fish species throughout South Texas bay waters, with customers catching trout, red drum, sheepshead, silver perch, and black drum even during challenging windy conditions. His local knowledge shines as he moves between multiple productive spots when fishing starts slow, ensuring non-stop action at every location. First-time anglers particularly appreciate how Mike provides all necessary supplies and teaches proper techniques step-by-step. Customers consistently highlight Mike's exceptional hospitality and personal approach, remembering everyone by name and creating memorable experiences especially for young anglers. Parents love watching their kids land large drum and try different fishing methods under his patient guidance. Many families return within weeks for another trip, and Mike often shares his catch-cleaning expertise, sending guests home with perfectly prepared fish for dinner.

Capt. Mike's knowledge of the waters around south padre were very apparent. The first cast already made our crew feel like experienced fisherman with how much we pulled in throughtout the day. Capt. Mike was extremely personable during the trip which made it enjoyable to where we didn't even need to have a good day fishing to enjoy. The next time we're back he's our first choice to charter again.

Today we went Bay fishing, it’s been very windy this past week hard for any of the boats to get out for inshore and offshore fishing. Captain Mike was awesome, took us to many spots throughout the bay, we caught trout, silver perch, catfish, stingray, sheepshead, and Red Drum .

We had a great time mike was very helpful and told us about the different types of fish we caught and we caught a lot of fish we did not want to keep any fish so most was thrown back in but we donated some nice ones to locals that could use the fish
