Had an amazing time. Chris with Coastal Guide Service put us on the fish. My son and I couldn’t reel them in fast enough. We didn’t expect much at all as the weather was less then ideal but Chris not only knew how to navigate around the conditions, he made it the best trip we have ever had. We didn’t just find our forever go to guide, we made a great friend. Chris isn’t only an extremely knowledgeable fisherman, he is an all around great guy who made us feel comfortable from the start.

Wow, we had so much fun with Capt. Chris Pace of Coastal Guide Service yesterday. Our group of three caught lady fish, spotted trouts, cat fish, and a bunch of red and black drums. Chris knew his territory and we caught something at every spot he hit. Consider chartering the four hour evening trip starting at 3:30 pm (a huge plus if you don’t want to get up early to catch the morning fish run). We had a beautiful sunset that was the background of us constantly reeling in fish. We are relatively experienced anglers whom have taken many chartered fishing excursions in the past. This excursion is by far one of the best experience that we’ve ever had. Thank you Capt. Chris Pace for your patience and knowledge, and giving us a lifetime worth of wonderful memories. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND Coastal Guide Service. Five stars for sure. Cheers and good fishing! -Tony Senser, Art Zamorano, Al Federico, Oct. 26th, 2022.

This was my son’s first bay fishing experience and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Captain Chris was an excellent guide/host and put us on fish from our first casts to our last.

My son is very hesitant on trying new things and wasn’t sure how this trip would turn out, but Captain Chris helped him overcome all that. Captain Chris assisted and coached him up, and by mid-trip, my son was baiting, casting and landing fish in his own.  By the end of the trip my son had the bug, all smiles and asking when we could do it again.

My wife and I can not express how much we appreciate Captain Chris for making his first trip a memorable one and wanting to do it again, but thank you! This will now become a normal thing fishing with Captain Chris, when we take our family vacations to the coast and who we will recommend to our friends for fishing trips. 

Had a great experience with Captain Chris! For 3 inexperienced fishermen he was helpful and informative in each and every way! He got us out on the water early and explained exactly what we needed to do in order to catch fish which is what we did. Captain Chris had a great knowledge of the water and always made sure we were put in the best position to make the catch! Captain Chris overall was a helluva guy to be on board with and a great time. I would recommend anybody to take a trip with him! We will definitely be back out on the water because of him!

We did a 4-hour coastal fishing trip in Rockport. It was with my wife and her 75-year-old mother. The fishing trip was great. My Mother-in-Law had a great time. Captain Chris took good care of her (us), he was attentive to her while navigating the waterways (slowing down when he knew the waves would rock the boat too much for a senior citizen), she loved it. The boat was very nice, the captain was safety first, knowledgeable about the area, the big ones were elusive, but we caught plenty of fish.
