Mission Statement

I will do everything in my power to make your day on the water a positive memorable experience.

Some things I can't control: weather, mechanical failures, acts of God.

I will do my best to overcome anything that goes wrong.

I want you to catch fish and have a good time. Being employed full time and guiding part time gives me the flexibility to cancel or reschedule trips if bad weather or poor fishing conditions exist.

I endorse conservation.

I enjoy taking kids fishing; they are the future.

Let me show you the Sabine Lake estuaries, and hopefully you will return again to enjoy this gift God has given us.

Sincerely,
Capt. Michael Rector
