He is a great guide and most important of all, he knows the place and where, when, and how to get anywhere. He knows that place like the back of his hand. We had a very interesting and enjoyable scouting trip on the island and I could have done without Colin’s knowledge and expertise of the islands. I learned a lot from him during our 2 days trip. He knows so much about the natural resources, the history and the environment of the park. You won’t find many people that have such a wide and deep knowledge of the island than Colin. I hired Colin Davis from Padre Island Expedition to help me during a scouting trip to investigate the algal mat on Padre Island National Sea Shore. I am a geologist and researcher at UT Austin. I do hope that you can find someone who can meet your needs next time, and I do wish you the best. I love the National Seashore and loved seeing that you were able to enjoy your trip while being able to use your speaker towers, your numerous beverages, your laser lights, and your LED floodlight towers-which do happen to be against park policy after dark. During your trip we laughed and talked and you even took business cards and said you wanted to book multiple times a year in the future, you were so happy with the charter. It is at the discretion of the guide as to how many lines will be utilized while shark fishing, and when two lines washed in due to seaweed and current at 1030 pm, it is company policy to not run the boat in the surf after dark to carry those leaders back out offshore. However, I will point out that all six lines were out in the water with baited leaders all day and into the night, not out of the water as stated. It is our policy at Padre Island Expeditions to not run the boat in the surf or the kayak in the surf after dark. As you can imagine, there are many variables while fishing and it is at the discretion of the guide to safely place baits and keep everyone safe. I offered complimentary services such as a campfire and supplied firewood, as well as full use of my gear and bait and shark tower. I tried to work hard as possible for you by not only staying on my feet all day from catching bait to running out not the standard 3 or 4 shark baits, but a total of 6, which I additionally swapped out fresh baits every few hours on. I wish you would have let me know that you felt this way during the charter. Dear Keith, I am sorry that you feel this way.
