What Our Clients Say
"I have been on a lot of guided fishing trips but nothing compares to this. We landed a 200+ lb alligator gar on the Trinity River. The guides were professional, patient and knew exactly where to go. I will be back every year."
"Worth every penny and then some. Our guide knew the river inside and out. We caught fish within the first 30 minutes. If you want to catch a true Texas monster, this is the only guide service you need to call."
"Travelled from the UK after seeing Garzilla on TV. The team arranged everything — airport, hotel, the lot. Caught two gar over 100 lbs on my first day. Absolutely world class. Already planning my return trip."
