Excellent Fishing Trip
3 Hour – Boat Tour on February 10, 2025

Capt Kevin took us out for a fishing excursion on the bay. Two of our group had never fished before. Capt Kevin patiently taught them how to cast and set a hook. Guess who caught the first fish? The beginners of course! Afterward we went dolphin watching. The dolphins were a highlight for everyone. Capt Kevin also gave a history of the area, as only a true local can do. We can’t wait to return back to South Padre Island so we can fish again with Big Mother Bay Fishing.

Response from Captain

This was a great family to fish with hopefully to see them next year plus the dolphins were very cooperative on putting a show on
