I am curious about the Dolphin Docks charter service out of Port A. Does anyone out there have any reviews about this company? They have a good website and would like some feedback prior to calling and scheduling. I am looking at their 24hr trip late July and have about a dozen and a half friends and co-workers who are inquiring about the trip as well. If anybody can lend me some input (pm or public response), I would be thankful.

All the best,

Joseph

I had a good friend that was the Master Baiter there back in the day, but have not kept up with them in quite a while.

havent gone out with DD only because you can not take your own ice chests. You can with offshore adventures tho

Depending on the skippers DDocks can be a good charter service. I fish with them years ago but not anymore as i found a better customer friendly docks for my offshore fishing.

Omaka,

Can you tell me the other customer friendly company that you were reffering to?

I am planning an offshore trip in early July with a few of my co-workers as well and any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Petrieheil

Try Deep Sea HQ and Offshore Adventures as they are both Corpusfishing.com sponsors.

The only party boat out of port a i mess with anymore is Dolphin Docks. Maybe just luck of the draw on others but I've had fish ive caught not end up on my stringer, had a captain who couldn't get an anchor up at every stop, had rude deck hands who didn't have a clue. Never had trouble with Dolphin docks. (knock on wood) Except the time I blew chunks for 10 hours straight but that was mother natures fault not theirs :p

Over at Texas Fishing Forum under their offshore fishing section the almost 100% opinion is they would rather stay home than fish out of Dolphin Docks for free. Take Tyler's advice.

I have never had a bad experience with DD. The deck hands work hard and so do the Captains. I booked this Sat.

I have had grand fishing trips with DD and DSHQ's. I will be trying OSA this fall. I do prefer DSHQ's due to being able to bring an ice chest. This is the only thing that I can tell you if you haven't been out on a 24-84 hour trip before, although I know the deck hands are there to help and work, I have yet to go out and they treat you as an experience fishing person. Even on return trips with same deck hands knowing your capability. That can be a real a@@ chapper. Great luck and have fun.

One Word - Lloyd! He's the man at Deep Sea HQ's. He is a great deckhand who loves his job and always makes you feel good. He usually is on the 8hr trips.
