Czar Fishing Company

"Anytime you are in Corpus Christi, chartering a fishing trip has to be on your to do list, and using Czar Fishing Company is an absolute MUST! I had met Taylor, the guide, the night prior to my fishing trip. He is extremely personable, down to earth, and hilarious. So, I show up to Billings' Bait and Tackle Shop and meet up with Taylor. He puts his boat into the water, gathers up all the materials we need for our trip, and within fifteen minutes we are on the boat and heading out to our first location. As he is baiting my hook with a live piggy perch, he is explaining to me where I needed to cast my line. And no kidding, within a minute, I already had a bite and I was reeling in a red fish! Talk about having so much excitement, I couldn't contain myself. Once I get the red fish close enough to the boat, Taylor uses his net to get it into the boat. For the few hours that we were out on the water, every single location we went to, the fish were instantly biting as soon as we cast out our lines. My arms were sore, my fingers ached, and I got sun burned (even though I had sunscreen on), but I had the most amazing time out on the water with Taylor catching all the fish that we did. If I could have, I would have stayed out on the water for a lot longer than we did.It's obvious that Taylor knows exactly what he is doing and where we needed to go to ensure that I would catch fish. While other guides were out around where we were, they weren't catching the same amount of fish that Taylor and I were. Every single spot we went to (we went to about five different locations), the fish were biting. They were biting so fast I could barely keep up with reeling them all in. I caught trout, red fish, catfish, and lost a skip jack, but I didn't even care! Still excited from catching all the other fish that I did! And, if you're someone who doesn't want to get dirty, you don't have to do anything but reel the fish in! Seriously, one of the best times I have had in a long time was doing this chartered fishing trip with Taylor! I even got to sit at the top with the Captain (Taylor)!Also, I would recommend that you wear long sleeved shirts, bring a hat and sunglasses, any snacks and water....but to be honest, you're going to be way too busy catching fish to want to stop and eat, but I did drink a lot of water because it was hot! Promise you won't be disappointed chartering with Czar Fishing Company. If I am ever back in Corpus Christi, booking a trip with Taylor will definitely be on the top of my "things to do" list!"
"We had so much fun with Captain Dusty. He is kind, considerate, and patient. He took us to all of the cool places to get our fish and, true to his word, Sarah caught her "fish of a lifetime." She got a 34 7/8", 16 lbs Bull Redfish. Even better, Dusty has a great working relationship with John at Doc's who knows how to filet a bull redfish properly. I haven't fished since I was eleven years old and even I caught fish. There are plenty of people who drive boats; Captain Dusty has intimate knowledge of this area. Local expertise adds to the experience and enjoyment. If you're looking for a fishing guide and not just a fishing trip, book Dusty -- and quick. His calendar fills up.Oh yeah, the sunrise photo was amazing."
"I was taught how to all over again at this place a few years ago by a couple of locals I had just met. I caught 3 fish that night and 5 the next night. You every type of person there old, young, single parents with kids running around, novice fisherman and very seasoned vets. Staff is great and bait was on point, I go every time I am in town."
