July fishing trip
It was an unforgettable experience, I didn’t think It would be as exciting but it was more than I expected especially since the first fish I personally caught wasn’t a fish but a Shark! I had a great day with my sons and caught over a dozen fish not including the shark. Captain Dave made our first time fishing in the ocean a wonderful one and we can’t wait to go again.

Experience:
Full day trip
VERIFIED Went fishing on February 16, 2019
Full day trip with David was awesome. Started off early morning. Fog was heavy but that didn’t stop david from navigating through the thick fog. Hit our first spot and had limits of black drum within the first hour. Fished several spots as he continually made sure we were all baited up and good to go. He offered lunch but we opted out as the fishing was so good we wanted to continue to fish. As a avid fisherman I hit David with several questions and with no hesitation he had brilliant answers. We caught several fish and would eventually catch my personal biggest fish ever. My friends and family enjoyed his company as well as professionalism. Would book another trip with David with no hesitations.

Half day with David
We had a great time fishing the bay with David. It’s been a slow season but David managed to find some good spots and we came home with dinner. He went out of his way to find fish and made sure we had a great time. Will definitely go out with him again.

Fishing with David
Fishing with David was very enjoyable. He was a little frustrated saying the fishing was slow. I told him I was on the water with a wet hook and didn’t care about much besides that. We did catch a good mess of fish and David went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied. I would recommend David and his boat to anyone looking for a fun laid back relaxing fishing experience.

Experience:
Friends & family in town for Labor Day, booked a fishing trip with David Rappelet several weeks before, with no clue as to weather forecast. As luck would have it we showed up at Thompsons Fish Camp in Baytown in the pouring rain. By the time we shoved off it was dark stormy skies all around, but only drizzling. Our expectations were low, but spirits high, and knew all signs and conditions were against us. Turns out Captain David kept us dodging the rain and on the fish all day, I was totally amazed because there was no way, given these conditions we should have been getting strikes. Ended up with some nice Reds, Speckled Trout, Perch, and just missed a huge Black Drum. Thanks for everything Captain David, especially your patience and skill!

Captain David put us on the fish at many different locations. We ended up with some beautiful Redfish keepers.

Despite the bad weather during the early hours of the morning, they managed to be patient enough for waiting a couple hours. And guess what! It was sunny one hour after the heavy rain. Texas weather is weird…

Experience:
Had a pleasure of going fishing with Capt. David and I have absolutely no hessitation in whole heartedly recommending his services. I believe that there are two parts fishing guide services; one is fishing itself and another one is the professionalism/attitude/company of the guide. In my opinion David gets full marks in both. Though our trip had to end early due to the approaching storms we did catch a lot of fish (including three 10+ lbs Bull Reds). We throughly enjoyed his company as well. He is very knowledgable as well has a great sense of humor which made the trip very enjoyable.
We are already looking forward to booking next trip with him.

Experience:
We all have friends and family that always want to tell us about that great day they had fishing in the past. Every time we get together and the discussion turns to fishing we have to hear about their “magical” day on the water. Well, the great thing about booking with Captain David at Bow to Stern Fishing is I now have one of those magical fishing days that I can brag about for decades to come. Once we “got on the reds”, it was like no other fishing day I’ve ever experienced on Galveston Bay. In total, we caught more than 20 reds (with a majority of them over the 28” size limit….plus an additional 10 black drum and trout). There were even 4 instances when two of the three of us on the charter were simultaneously reeling in some of the largest redfish we’ve ever caught. It was just one of those days.
While your experience will be slightly different (and so will my future experiences with Bow To Stern Fishing Tours), trust that Captain David will absolutely do his best to put you in the spots that will allow you to have the best day possible….and maybe, just maybe, your experience your magical day on the water. Good luck everyone!

We had a great day out on the water. It was about 95 with only a light breeze. We saw a couple of dozen dolphin, a black fin shark surface right by the boat and even a few jellyfish as we fished. Caught plenty of reds, black drum, a lady fish and tons of catfish. Captain David was professional and very personable. My family had a blast…even my hard to please teenagers said they enjoyed our trip more than any other fishing trip. We plan to return for another outing ASAP. Thanks Captain!!

We had an AWESOME day of fishing with Captain David! He put us on some great fish, my 16 yr old son was completely worn out after fighting a big redfish and a big black drum. He could see the fish in the water and would tell you where to cast your line. He was very friendly and I felt like I had known him longer than just the time we fished with him that day. You won’t be disappointed booking a trip with Captain David! Thanks for an awesome day of fishing with my son!!

Not a lot of reds but what we caught were BIG. Had two on that couldn’t be turned..good mix of sheephead and black drum and caught a lot of them. Had to stop a little early due to weather but had a good trip. David knows where to put you on the fish, he is fun and professional.
