This was an excellent birthday fishing trip.  ALL the members of my family had an amazing time.  I’d like to thank Big John and I really appreciate his passion for helping others. Catching that Jack Crevalle was a fishing story that will be among one of my best. I caught a gafftopsail catfish on a spinning reel with 20lb test line. As I was reeling it in and I was about to pull it out the water, the Jack Crevalle came and ate the catfish!!  I sat back and fought the fish for a good bit. It should have snapped that line….  The hook was in the catfish’s mouth and the catfish should have been pulled out the Jack’s mouth during that fight.  By the grace of God I landed that fish and landed another fishing story for the memory books.  Now I give God The Glory but I appreciate Big Tex for helping me witness that’s. Great job.

Captain John! Is a people person.  We had a great time.  Fishing was tough being we had a big storm blow through the previous day. Lots of freshwater coming into bay. Knowing this as experienced fisherman.  We expected tough conditions for catching fish. But! Captain John did his best for use. To catch anything.  Which we where grateful for.  Had enough fish in the box for a fish fry.  Thanks again.  That being said.  Some captains didn’t catch anything.  From now on! My crew is fishing with Big Tex charters.

My wife and I joined Captain John for a bay trip. After recent storms the bay was very dirty and the fish weren’t biting. We didn’t catch a small amount of fish for a lack of trying that’s for certain. John made every effort to put us on fish, but conditions didn’t play in our favor. We still had a great time getting to catch some fish while in the company of John. We will definitely be taking another trip in the future and strongly recommend others to book with him.

EXCELLENT CHARTER!  TOP NOTCHE SERVICE!!
100% will book again when we come back. 
Right from the get-go, John was responsive at getting back to us.  He was thoughtful when communicating the options we had for time and what to fish for, as the weather over the days we were there was not ideal. (Which we understood as we’ve done other charters)

We did a morning charter.  John greeted us right away, and we went to the boat.  His boat was in pristine condition! Very clean and nice equipment.  Everything ran so smoothly.  We tried many spots for catching something and saw many other boats out.  Fish were not being kind and didn’t want to take the bait, despite having many nibbles.  Dolphins were awersome to seeQaqmm

It was one of the BEST charters we’ve been on!!
John is so friendly and truly has some of the best customer service! You will not be disappointed at all to book this charter!
Best day on the water!!
Thanks John! We will be back

Captain John is a very good Captain. We didn’t catch a lot but we did catch some great keepers. Weather probably played a huge part in the catches on this day. It didn’t appear that any others were catching much of anything. Captain John knew the places to keep us in the bites and catches. I took two 14 year olds, one with little to no fishing experience. Captain John was very patient with both of them even when they got badly tangled. Captain John already had another pole ready and handed it off while he rigged up the tangled mess. I will be using Captain John every time. A very down to earth good guy who knows the business! Jerry Jackson
