Scheduled a half day trip with Capt. Randy for my Son’s 16th Birthday.  Capt. was ready to go when we arrived and launched before sunrise. He warned us that the past few days have been pretty tough, but within the first 45 minutes, had 2 fish in the boat!  He was very courteous, great knowledge of the waters and was patient and helpful with my son and his buddy along for the trip. I could tell he was connected as he was keeping in touch with several other guide friends during the outing trying to get some insight on how other spots that were faring.  I’ve been on several guided fishing trips throughout the TX coast and can say that Capt. Randy’s 23ft Haynie was probably one of the best boats I’ve fished on due to comfortable seating capacity, boat width for moving around and ride.  Best of all, he put us on fish!  We would have maxed-out if a few fish that were missed were caught…my wife and son’s friend are pretty inexperienced. but everyone caught some fish!  Appreciated Capt. Randy’s patience and helpfulness throughout the trip…and his sense of humor!!  We had a great time and will definitely use Capt. Randy/Fillabite again in the future.  Thanks for a great time, Capt.!!

We met Captain Filla in the morning.  He introduced himself and began to explain that we were in a high pressure weather system and just had a full moon.  Upfront he explained that the conditions would make fishing tough.

We went to Captain Filla’s first spot.  The first cast caught a Red Fish.  The fish was too small to keep, but it was an impressive start.  We caught several Red and Drum fish within and hour or so.  We ended up with three good keepers!

After that it slowed down.  Captain Filla took us to several local and hidden spots to find fish.  He was constantly communicating with other anglers and guides trying locate fish for my son and I.  He also kept a good watch on the tied and water conditions making sure we didn’t get stuck or run into a sand bar.  At the end we circled back to our original spot and caught a few more fish and called it a day.

My son and I had a great day!!  Captain Filla was easy to work with and super helpful with the fishing process.  He was happy to explain what we we doing and where we were going.  He would help us 100% of the way, or let us fish more on our own if we wanted.  It made for a very enjoyable day.  My son and I would highly recommend Captain Filla for an awesome inshore fishing experience!!
