Spent yesterday doing some offshore fishing with Captain Cotten & with an awesome deckhand. Got plenty of Snapper & even nailed a King. There’s only one place I’ll come back to, thanks for a great experience Cap.

We had so much fun. We catch our limit and then was catching and releasing legal size fish. It's a good day when you are able to catch/release legal size fish. Thanks for the fun.

5 star experience. Ken was polite, professional and knowledgeable. We didn’t have the perfect fishing conditions, but Ken’s knowledge and expertise prevailed and he put us on fish. We had a great day and filled the cooler with trout, red fish and black drum. Can’t wait for the next trip.

I had the most amazing 2 days EVER! My husband took me on a mini vacation to spend some quality time together. Captain Cotton was so fun and amazingly patient with me. We caught a lot of fish, but besides the fish we just had a great time!! It was more like fishing with good friends than it was like being on a paid guided trip! For sure will be down again!!!

Thank You Captain Ken we had a great time on our fishing trip. You and your partner did a great job with my wife and boys, keeping them baited up and hooks in the water. That 27-1/2" redfish that Jake caught was awesome. See you again next time!

Captain Ken Cotton was extremely knowledgeable and worked hard to put us on fish. I would recommend Escape Charters to anyone. He’s the first and only call I’ll make when I want to fish in Corpus Christi.
