CL Guide Service Customer Reviews

Even with the bay churned up from overnight rain and early morning weather, Captain Gabe Escobar provided a professional and productive experience. He worked hard to find clear water, moving between multiple locations and utilizing both drifting and anchoring techniques to put us on the fish. His local knowledge and persistence made a difficult day on the water a success, and we are already looking forward to our next Corpus Christi fishing charter during the upcoming snapper season.

Having fished a wide variety of waters—from the rugged coasts of Alaska to the high-altitude lakes of Colorado—I can confidently say that Captain Gabe Escobar is an indispensable resource for anyone navigating the South Texas coast. He possesses a rare ability to tailor the experience for every skill level, ensuring that both first-time ocean anglers and seasoned veterans have a rewarding and successful day. During our trip, we landed several local species, including spotted trout and ladyfish. What truly set CL Guide Service apart was Gabe’s proactive communication; he reached out days in advance to warn us of an incoming storm and helped us adjust our schedule. This professional foresight saved our trip and ensured we had the best possible conditions for our Corpus Christi fishing charter.

I've fished almost every sort of water from the East Coast to the West Coast, Alaska, and the Rocky Mountain lakes and rivers of Colorado and Wyoming, and Captain Gabriel Escobar has proven to be an important resource while fishing the Texas coast. He made fishing a very unique experience for everyone in our company, from the novice to the seasoned. We caught a variety of fish, including spotted trout and lady fish. Captain Escobar took the time to call us several days before our trip to inform us of impending weather and advised we adjust our timetable, which saved our trip from an impending storm.
