We booked through Bravo Zulu charters and were able to communicate what to expect with Rene leading up to the visit. He conacted me several times to ensure all questions were answered prior to departure. Rene was also accomodating with our kids on their first trip (14, 6 and 3 years old) and helped teach them the tricks of fishing the rocks. Not only did my family and I get a great fishing experience and catch a ton of sheepshead, a couple catfish, a small shark and a huge red drum, but we also got a history overview of the area as we drove around. I would recommend Rene to anyone looking for a fishing experience in the Jettys of Galveston Island!

Our day fishing with Captain Rene was awesome and everything I hoped for!  Right away I was pleasantly surprised to see that Captain Rene only does private events. I expected to share the boat with others, but he chuckled and said “No, I only do private parties”. It was just like you had a buddy with a great fishing boat who knew all the good spots! Captain Rene went out of his way to make sure we had a successful day.  My son gets motion sick pretty bad, so Captain Rene took us out to the jetties for a bit until he could see my son had enough.  We got on some good drums, but eventually the spot died out.  Our next logical step was further down the jetty, but that meant heavier seas.  Instead he took us around the harbor to a couple secret spots to make sure we walked away with a huge haul.  Once we finally found a great spot by a pier where we started pulling them in consistently, Captain Rene let us stay overtime to capitalize on the hot location. This overtime really let us go home happy with a ton of fish! Thanks Captain Rene for making our trip a blast!!

We had heard the bite was tough from several people.  Captain put us on some fish right away.  This was my wife’s first salt water experience and she caught a 29” black drum.  Captain was patient and coached her through bringing it in.  Had a great time and some good laughs along the way.  Will definitely be booking again next trip down.

Really enjoyed our time on the boat.  Captain Rene was great.  While we did catch some fish the big ones just weren’t biting. The goal was for my son to catch a shark and we did get a small one on the line for him to reel in.  Would definitely recommend Bravo Zulu Fishing Charters to anyone wanting a more personable fun experience.
