"My brother visiting from Ohio and me from Tyler spend a great day fishing with Captain Randy. It was our first trip to Sabine
Lake area for fishing. Even though it was very windy and the tides didn't cooperate his expert knowledge of Sabine Lake put us on some
great trout. We caught a 25 and 23 inch trout plus some smaller fish. We recommend if you want to catch fish and learn the lake book
Captain Randy. I am planning to try it again later in the year."

"Again Capt. Randy comes through for us at The Flagg Group Taxidermists! For some years now Edward & I
and guests have fished up & down the coast of Texas at least once. But now with Capt. Randy, we now have
found our honey hole at Sabine Lake. Not only does this man know the area like the back of his hand but works
hard at it to. Last year (07) we had three very successfull trips and all having very special fishing stories.
We just came off our first trip of the year this past Friday-April 25th and boy it was a good one. We did work
for our fish but just take a good look at the photo section and you will see the end-reults. (Pictures of
23 1/2 & 24 1/4 specs) Capt. Randy looking forward in coming back very soon!"

"In my 40 years of fishing I have hooked a fish or two on lures and have always been a live bait type of fisherman.
Capt. Randy has made me a believer of lures on my first trip with him. I caught more fish on lures then in my whole
40 years of fishing. Now this my second trip I did just as well Capt. Randy has made me a true believer of lures I
have learned more about lures on this two trips then in my 40 years of fishing. Capt. Randy not only takes you
fishing and if you let him, He will teach you more about fishing in eight hours then you could ever learn in a
life time. See you soon Capt. Randy."

"The Fishing Trip we chartered with Capt. Randy was fantastic Capt. Randy was very friendly and
knowledgeable about his saltwater fishing tactics. I have currently moved away from Texas to Des Moines,
Iowa I have Fished Port Arthur as a kid never caught a Red drum until I chartered this trip with
Capt. Randy. I am an avid Outdoorsman, and thought I knew a lot about fishing I learned more on the
fishing trip with Capt. Randy in 8hrs of fishing than I had in 26 years of fishing. I would love to
book another trip with Capt. Randy next year."

"Great trip Captain Randy. You put us on fish in less than ideal water conditions.
It was a trouble free trip and you are a guide I will recommend without hesitation."
- Steve H. - Houston, TX

"My son and I would like to add ourselves to the list of EXTREMELY satisfied clients of Captain Randy.
We fished Friday, March 14 in less than ideal conditions [ west wind, fog, etc]. The Captain was able to put
us on fish and insure we had a great time on the water. I've fished a lot of waters and enjoyed this day with
the Captain as well as any. His 110% effort is not just talk, he lives up to it. We'll most definately return
to spend more great time with Captain Randy and highly recommend his services to others."

"If you want a guide that is going to work for YOU, find fish and have a good time you need to call
Captain Randy. I came down from Dallas met and my friend from Houston on Feb 29th to fish with the Captain
on March 1st. First I have to tell you that I have never had a guide call me and say, maybe you need to wait
a week cause the water is muddy etc. But the Captain did and we appreciated that but we were kind of committed.
Well we met Captain Randy on Saturday and let me tell you the sun was not shining. Fog so thick you couldn't
see the front of the boat. We waited around, then attempted to navigate in the fog. We met at 6am and didn't
get a line in the water till about 10am. Well, most guides would have brought us back to the pier around 2 cause
that was their 8 hour trip. Well, not Capt Randy. We stayed till we had a full fishing day AND fish in the boat.
It was after 6 and good and dark when we got back to the pier. BUT we got a day's fishing and we caught fish even
if the water was muddy. A tough day for a couple of 68 year old Aggies but we had one heck of a time. I cannot
recommend Capt Randy any higher. I've had a bunch of guides over the past years and Capt Randy is right up there
at the very top. Call him now and have a durn good time. Oh, and when he recommends a place to eat GO THERE!
Best seafood I've had in a while!!"

"We would like to thank Captain Randy for an extremely fun filled and relaxing fishing trip held on
Saturday 23, February 2008. Captain Randy fulfilled our expectations and superseded them. With his exemplary
knowledge of the local area, and his decisive diligence to ensure a fun filled maxed out fishing trip, I would
highly recommend him to anyone interested in his fishing adventures. We will be sure to give Capt. Randy a call
again to enjoy yet again one of his fishing adventures!
Sincerely, extremely satisfied, and thankful for a wonderful day,"

Beverages for the day -$8
Fishing licenses -$64
Full day Guided fishing trip for two with Captain Randy -$400
Watching Captain Randy give my son fishing tips and catching a LIMIT of REDS –Priceless!!
What a great day my son, Bryan, and I had on Sabine Lake last week. I called Captain Randy and scheduled a guided fishing trip on Sabine Lake. I had never fished Sabine Lake but had heard a lot about it and wanted to give it a try. I told Capt. Randy that I was bringing my son who was home for the Holidays from Texas A&M. My son loves to fish and I wanted him to experience fishing for Reds if at all possible. Capt. Randy told me he was up to the task and was confident he could put us on some Reds and that is just what he did!!! A limit of Reds for the three of us. Captain Randy knows what he is doing, is very patient, a good teacher, and has a lot of great stories to tell. All of this made the day very special for me and Bryan. One thing is for sure, we will be back with Captain Randy in the Spring for limits of Reds and large Trout!"

"My friend Ross & I decided late Friday afternoon that we wanted to go fishing on Saturday and catch
some trout and reds on Sabine Lake. So I did a quick Google search and came across Capt. Randy's Guide Service
web site. I figured that there would be no chance to book a trip this late in the game, however after speaking
with Capt. Randy, he said come on down. This was the first time I used Capt. Randy on Sabine Lake and did not
know what to expect. However, I felt confident in his abilities, knowledge, and experience to put us on the fish
based off the testimonials other anglers posted on his web site. Capt. Randy promised me that he would give us 110%.
Our experience with Capt. Randy was EXCELLENT and we felt that he gave the 110% he promised and then some. He is
very down to earth and has a true passion for fishing Sabine Lake and its reputation and operates his guide service
with honesty & integrity. Capt. Randy showed us what baits to use, explained why they work best with the current water
conditions and offered many other fishing techniques for the various areas we fished. By mid day, we landed every fish
we hooked and Capt. Randy called us the 100% club. As it turns out, we finished the day with the title. For those
anglers who are looking for a fishing guide to fish with friends, family, or clients then look no further than Capt.
Randy's Guide Service. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends and family and I'm looking forward to my next
guided fishing trip with Capt. Randy in 2008.
Great Times...Great Laughs...Creating Lasting Memories while catching fish on Sabine Lake!
Thank you Captain Randy!"

Two old friends and I went fishing with Captain Randy on December 19th in Lake Sabine for Bull Reds. This was the first time for me to fish for Reds or any other fish for that matter since I left my home state of Washington almost 20 years ago. I must say I was not disappointed. By the end of the day I had my limit of Bull Reds all within 20-22-inches and between 5-7 pounds each. Catching Reds was the most fun I had since I had caught King Salmon out of the Pacific Ocean so many years before.
The best part of the trip was that Capt. Randy told us what to expect, what we were going to do, how to use the equipment, and how to fish and then you were on your own all of course under his watchful eyes. What a job he did knowing exactly where to fish, how to fish and how not to loose your fish once you caught one. He gave just enough advice and encouragement to all but never so much that you thought he was overbearing. The best part was that if you did do something wrong he would correct you…. and in every case he was right.
All three of us had a great time fishing, the weather was perfect, out of the three of us we caught 11 great sized Bull Reds and 2 flounder. Even better yet was that Capt. Randy cleaned and fillet all the fish at the end of the trip.
If you want to go fishing with someone that knows his business Captain Randy is the fishing guide for you.

"For the last two years I’ve made several trips from Fort Worth to Lake Sabine with my brother and sons to go fishing with Capt.
Randy. He is a well organized guide. We have always caught fish, a lot of fish. Capt. Randy offers no excuses. "The fish just arn't
bittin’ today," has never been said by Capt. Randy. Capt. Randy says fish eat every day. He just has to find them. He’s looking for
the birds. He’s checking the wind and those old reefs where he has always found fish. He knows the lake. No one tries harder to find
fish. When the action slows, he’s moving on to another proven spot. Every stop we’re catchin’ few. . . . Red Fish, Drum, trout and an
occasional flounder. By the end of the day we have buckets of fish. When the day is done and your tired and worn out, Capt. Randy
starts cleaning those fish. When Capt. Randy filets a fish there’s not much left for a poor old stray cat. I’ve never known anyone
who likes to fish like Capt. Randy. If you can only get your fishin’ buddies together for a couple of outings a year, I highly
recommend giving Capt. Randy a call. All you have to do, is show up, and keep the bait in the water."

"On Wednesday, November 14 my dad and I had a fishing trip planned with
Capt. Randy. We were trying to squeeze in one day between work. Randy
had told us to come on down because we'd catch some fish. So, that's
what we did, Randy took us out and we got to fish under the birds for
our first time. Had a ball! Caught a pile of specks and reds. Not
that you have to catch a pile of fish to make a trip, but it sure makes
it nice. I asked a lot of questions and learned a good bit. Hopefully
we'll have time in the future to make more trips because it was a great
experience for us. Thanks a lot."

"Well, fishing was tough but we still wound up with a nice mess of trout and red fish that
my kids will enjoy eating the Sunday, Nov.11th. Curt and I do not define a big bunch of fish as
making our trip to Port Arthur as a success. Several factors decide our trip being successful or not.
1. Did I catch more fish that Captain Randy? Yes!!!!
2. Did I catch a bigger fish than Captain Randy? Yes
3. Will Captain Randy ever admit that the speck rigs outfish the Plastics? Don't know.
These questions are what make Curt and I coming to Port Arthur every few weeks to fish with the best guide on Sabine Lake.
Also, I want to put in a plug for Ramada Inn. It's a great place to stay and they have a wonderful breakfast.
Schooners cant be beat for great steaks and fresh seafood and Luby's still servs the best liver and onions on this planet.
Randy, practice with the speck rigs before we come back and maybe you can keep up with the old guys. Best wishes for good health and good fishing."

"My husband and I booked our first saltwater fishing trip with Captain Randy Foreman on 10-18-07.
It was a windy day and Captain Randy had to use his knowledge of Sabine Lake to safely put us on fish.
We caught 14 reds (three in the 25 to 27 inch range!! Each of us had a 10lb. or better Redfish on at
the same time, and 24 Speckled Trout (several in the 2 to 3 pound size). It was a circus and just
whetted our appetite for another trip!!! Captain Randy made a point of making sure I caught fish,
as well as my husband, and made me feel welcome and comfortable on his boat. I lost my cap, I lost
one bait, but he never lost his patience. Thank you Captain, we have great memories and highly
recommend you! You'll be hearing from us again."

"Two weeks Captain Randy organized a corporate outing for our leadership group
and we are still talking about the great time we had. >From the moment we arrived,
and met the 3 other fishing guides we knew we where going to have a great time.
Captain Randy worked hard to find the fish and made sure everybody was able catch fish.
He is truly the real deal. Thanks for the great day for our corporate outing and look forward to doing it again."

"I came down to spend some time with my parents and my dad booked a trip on the lake with Randy's charter
service. It was awesome! He kept in constant contact with us before the trip to make sure our weather conditions
were good on the morning we would be going out. When we met up with him at the dock, he was was extremely
charasmatic and eager to teach me how fish for Reds and Speckled Trout. When we headed out he helped me to
identify where the fish were by looking for the birds who were feeding on the shrimp near the surface.
He was able to easily put us ontop of the fish and my Dad and I had a BLAST! I caught my first redfish
and it was a 27 incher! All together we caught 29 trout and 6 redfish! Thank you so much for the great trip!
I would deffinately recommend him for a fun experience to all of my friends who visit and to my family members
who live in the area!"

"Trip Aug 31 - Great fishing, when we did as Capt Randy advised, we caught fish. Enjoyed the day.
thanks for putting us on the fish. My son-in-law and friend enjoy the trip and are still talking about
the fishing trip. I will be glad to refer other customers to you."

"Second trip of the year to Sabine Lake and what a trip. Morning started at 4:00 am to be at the dock with Capt Randy by 5:00 am.
The amount of boats trying to get on the water was just amazing. At first we thought fishing wasn't going to be very favorable for us
this Saturday morning August the 11th. Boy were we wrong! Almost being the last boat leaving dock at 6:30 am you would definitely
wonder if there were going to be any fish left for us in the water.
No more then one hour later we're in the middle of schools of trout all around us. What a ride!!!!! it turned out to be a hell
of a trip, 60 fish on board not counting all the ones that got away, bad hook ups, coming off or just some large enough to brake
lines. 19 fish out of the 60 averaged 3 to 4 pounds or so, eight one gallon bags of fillets.
On behalf of The Flagg Group Taxidermists - Dallas, TX THANK YOU Capt. Randy, we are looking at our calendar for our fall trip
as I'm writing this e-mail. See You Soon Captain."

"I got my wife a fishing trip for her birthday with Captain Randy. We had so
much fun and caught tons of fish. Everyone around us had a few fish in
their boats, but on our first day there was not a moment that went by that
we were not having bites. We caught over 18 fish the first day and some
really good ones on the second day.
Randy puts you onto the fish every time. We will definitely be going again soon."
- W. Moss

"Randy we had a great day, Fished the rigs and found Trout a few Spanish Macks and a 6 lb red fish.
Randy I liked your honesty; you said we would have to work for the fish because of the fresh water.
Well You made a day of going from rig to rig and we put our limit in the boat. My family had fun. The
drive from Canutillo TX ( El Paso) was well worth it."

"I've been on two fishing trips with Capt. Randy. The first one was about four to five years ago and
the recent one was in July/07. I would like to say that I've learned a lot about fishing from Capt. Randy.
He taught me much more than I can imagine anyone teaching me. I've always had the impression of any guide
not telling you their secret techniques or secrets spots....but Capt. Randy did not make me feel that way.
I can not express enough on how priceless the knowledge Capt. Randy has given me.
On the first trip...it was very windy and the lake was not calm at all. Capt. Randy took us on the South end
of Lake Sabine on the Louisiana side. Even though the weather was not that great we still caught fish. He
always had more than just a plan B or C when situations change. We ended up with a few flounders and a red.
The second trip was a little different. We were heading out for an offshore trip when we encountered some
problems and had to head in. We all were disappointed including Capt. Randy. He then told us to wait and
went home to get his lake boat to take us on a lake trip instead. We were all satisfied because like I said
earlier....he always had an extra plan ready. We worked the jetties and hit 20+ specs averaging 3-5 lbs and
a red. After returning to the boat ramp....Capt. Randy took our pictures and cleaned our fish.
I would like to say that Capt. Randy is a very professional and down to earth caring guy. He knows this fishing
area because this is his home and he would welcome anyone to it that respects it."

"My grandfather was down from N.Carolina and we had talked about going
fishing for 15 years. I knew this trip needed to be a good one, so I
stepped up to the plate and called a guide. I got more than I expected.
Capt. Randy put us on fish over and over all day long despite unfavorable
conditions. If I had gone on one of my usual wade/bank fishing
excursions, I would have gone home empty handed that day. Not only did we
catch a number of good fish that day, Capt. Randy showed us how. I learned
more effective techniques in 9 hours than I have in the last 5 years of
fishing alone. Capt. Randy even managed to get my cousin hooked up with a
trout as long as my arm, and he doesn't even fish. He just kept putting us
in the right spot, and teaching us how until it happened. All my cousin
kept saying after that fish was, "Dwight, you gotta take me to get a rod
after we get home". Now that's what I call success! Thanks for turning,
what should have been a miserable mosquito/hardhead feeding session, into
an awesome day on the water."

"Connor, my 8 year old son, was so excited after catching his first fish - and what a first fish to catch!
We are from Las Vegas so we definitely needed some lessons in the fundamentals of fishing. Captain Randy
taught us those fundamentals and we were good to go thereafter. Captain Randy knows what he is doing and I would recommend him to
anyone that wants to catch fish at Lake Sabine."
- Kevin N.

"I would like to thank Captain Randy for a wonderful day on Sabine Lake. I am a Rookie in regards to
this type of fishing and Captain Randy took the time to show me the proper techniques used in catching Trout,
Redfish, and Flounder. Captain Randy was very patient in explaining the reasons why you use certain techniques
and presentations, as well as the different types of bait to use. I guess I should also mention we filled up
an icebox with fish using his methods. As a bonus, Captain Randy gave me some examples of baits to purchase
so that I may go out and try this type of fishing on my own.
Thanks again Captain Randy and I look forward to our next trip together. How about the Jetties or Offshore?"

"On 6/8/07 my brother and I went fishing with Capt Randy for Red fish and specs. What a great time we had.
I was down on vacation from Colorado and wanted to do something like that. There was 2 guys and 4 hours of fishing
later we had 30 fish in the cooler. I was down from Colorado and enjoyed it. I will tell everyone that maybe heading
this way to go fishing to give Capt Randy a call. I will be back down in the fall or spring with our other brother
and we will be there. Capt Randy Thanks for a great trip."

"After limiting out on our first two trips with you I figured we were in for a water haul this past Wednesday.
The weather looked bad but we decided to come on down because we knew we would have a lot of fun trying. Needless
to say you found a way for six people to catch over 100 specks, three flounder, and two keeper reds. I must confess
that I did not help ot that much on the total fish count, but I did catch the best trout in our boat.
Our two new fishing buddies are looking forward to coming back soon just as Curt and I are. Regards to you and Mike."

"We fished with Capt. Randy on May 20, 2007. Our group consisted of two adults and two kids. The day was very windy
but Captain Randy still was able to put us on fish. We caught 3 nice reds, 2 flounder, and a mess of specks. The kids had
a great time as did their dads. Capt. Randy really knows Sabine Lake and is an excellent guide. I would highly recommend him,
especially if you aren't familiar with Sabine Lake. He has vast knowledge of how to navigate and fish the lake and loves to
pass his knowledge on to others. Also, Capt. Randy really cares for his clients On our trip he even assisted with a minor
medical situation. Thanks for the great trip."
- Dave and John

"Fished with Capt. Randy 05/12/07 - party of four all caught fish. Randy chased down the birds,
and made every effort to find fish. All enjoyed the trip out. The fried trout is very good. Will book again.
Thank's again Capt."

"In just a few words I can let any one out there know if you are a serious fishing individual
call Captain Randy. In all my private & group trips I've made to the Texas coast I've never seen
a person so dedicated like him. He's very knowledgeable of the Sabine waters, comfortable boat, excellent
fishing equipment but best of all very patient & friendly. Fishing was hard on April 27, 2007 but the
Captain never gave up, we had to fight the elements but at the end of a 10 hour trip we had fish in box.
This was the first trip of the year for us at THE FLAGG GROUP - Taxidermist Company. Captain sent back to
Dallas, TX two happy & satisfied fisherman. We are looking forward in re-booking a trip for this
coming fall of this year. See you soon Captain."
- Roy & Edward

"Randy, thanks again for another wonderful day on the water. Curt and I decided that this trip
was more fun than the November trip even though we caught more fish in November than we did yesterday.
This time it was more of a challenge yet we got our limit of good flounder and had a beautiful day on
the water. Thanks again, and don't forget about using that split-shot ahead of the flounder lure.
Let us know when the birds start working. Best fishing to a good guy."
- Pete

"We had a great time fishing with Captain Randy. He was so understanding about our need
to reschedule due to an accident and led us to a time when we could catch fish. The experience was awesome."
- Shari A.

"We booked a trip with Capt. Randy on 23rd of March. We had a great time even with wind blowing.
Paid attention to his instruction and you will catch fish and have a great time. He worked hard to keep
us on the fish and made sure things went right, this trip produce 20 specs. 1 flounder 1 drum."
- Alex & Ron

"The ease of booking our trip on the internet was great. Your follow up calls to confirm - and to update us on the weather were surely appreciated since our time in Port Arthur was limited to one day and we certainly had a changing set of weather patterns! When we couldn't get a room close by in Groves you jumped right in and got us the two rooms we needed. Your recommendations on the best Boudain and a great place for dinner were right on target for us.
Then there was the fishing! When we met at our hotel I knew we were in for a great day of fishing. We were unprepared for snacks, refreshments and ice but that was no problem. Introducing us to the areas best boudain and a local grocery we were then set to go. It is very clear you know where the fish are and what is needed to catch them. It was like falling off a log - all you needed was to do it! The speckled trout were hungry and willing and I was glad to take a break or two between snagging another trout. We did pretty well that day!
I also have to mention how much Amy and I appreciated your knowledge of the history of the area when we asked about the Civil War and the recent and current history of the area.
All in all it was a great trip you planned for us and we thank you very much."

"I just got back from a fishing trip with captain randy. My father came in
from out of state so I wanted to take him fishing for trout and redfish for his
first time. I am not very familiar with the area but was told to book a trip with
captain randy by some friends of mine. I can honestly say that the weather was not
trying to help us out and since it was a winter trip I did not know what to expect.
However after being on the water I realized that we were going to have a good trip.
Captain Randy made sure that we not only found fish but also that we got the full
amount of time which we had paid for. When the day was said and done we had caught
27 keeper trout and 3 keeper redfish, which was more than we could have asked for.
I will definitely be booking another trip with captain randy in the near future and
I would like to thank him for a good time and a job well done."

"For my husband's 30th birthday, I wanted to treat him to something special and that he loves. I knew that a
fishing trip on the Texas Gulf Coast for speckled trout and redfish was the perfect idea. What I didn't
know, was where to start. After researching several guide websites, Capt. Randy stood out. From the first
time I dialed his number, Capt. Randy was eager to earn my business and more importantly, to make the
fishing trip for my husband a good one. Not only was he eager to earn our business, but he was an honest
fishing guide.
On our first trip in October, the weather unexpectedly turned sour while we were out on
the water. He spent the next 7 hours trying to improve our catch. Capt. Randy was honest enough to
commit to an alternate trip because of the unfortunate weather situation. We rescheduled for a few weeks
later and the weather cooperated. We caught 13 speckled trout, 2 redfish, and a few sand trout.
Again, even though we had caught several fish, he kept trying to improve our catch and gave us a full 7+
hours on the water. If you are looking for a Texas Gulf Coast fishing guide that is honest, enthusiastic
about his job, an EXPERT angler, patient teacher, someone that will put you on fish, and a great sense
of humor...look no further, Capt. Randy and Sabine Lake are the right choice."

Dear Randy,
Curt and I had a great time fishing with you and I feel badly about having only one of the pink trout rigs.
I bought more today so the next trip you will be able to keep up with the old man. Anytime you take out a
sixty-nine year old kid with an eighty-three year guy and are able to keep them in the boat I believe that
proves your outstanding guiding ability. Three red fish and a limit of specks was almost as much fun as being
with best guide on Sabine Lake. Hope to see you soon.

"I just got back from a fishing trip with Captain Randy and went on his web site to look it over. A friend did the booking
and took care of all that kind of stuff. I didn’t have a clue who was going to be our guide I just knew that we were going fishing.
I read the testimonials and I knew how the people felt that wrote them. The weather was not the best, yes the wind was blowing,
did it rain some, yes did he get us on some fish, yes. We caught some nice ones which makes for a good trip. But I would like
to tell you what I saw in Capt. Randy. The gulf is his home; he grew up there and you can see his love for that area.
When going out fishing with him if you listen you will hear a man telling that he is concerned with changes in the laws that affect
the limits on fishing, not that he is bitching but is working to make things better. If you look at him when he is telling about
the storms that have come through that area you will see the sadness in his eyes of what was and is no longer. He looks at more
than getting people on fish and making money. When we came in the second day he noticed a truck and trailer sitting in the same
place it was sitting the day before and he wondered if the man had a problem, he looks at what is going on around him. If you just
look at the type of weather we had and the fish we caught you would say good trip, me I look at the type of weather the fish and
the man that guided us and I see a great trip. I believe him to be an honest man."

"This was our second trip with Captian Randy this year. We came back out on Sept 30th.
Caught two beautiful reds, a few flounder, and alot of trout. What's wonderful is I brought
my 7 year old out fishing again and as always Captian Randy is patient, courteous, and willing
to teach him to enjoy fishing as much as we do. Thanks again for a great weekend."

"I just fished with Captain Randy once again and we had a fair morning on speckled trout.
Lunch time showed up so we had our sandwich then the lake slicked up and we found fish.
We caught about a dozen good specs and 25 or so sand trout. A pretty good day of fishing huh?
Well on the way back to the ramp Captain Randy saw something I would have missed. He stopped
the boat said cast over there. In the next couple of casts we had 2 nice reds in the boat.
Once again a pretty good day turned to a very good day on the water. Fished on Sept. 26th."

"I have recently moved to Beaumont to buy a chain of ten 24 hour restaurants.
I fell in love with the fishing here and I wanted to share it with my new management
team. Captain Randy took out 12 men in July '06 and we caught 62 specs and flounder.
The team bragged so much about the courteous and knowledgeable service that the female
management felt they had to go, too! So we took out 12 women in August '06 and caught
59 specs and flounder. What a treat for the first time ladies.
Captain Randys' exciting and encouraging attitude really helped me with my TEAMBUILDING
efforts. Thank you Captain Randy and I'm looking forward to our offshore trip soon."

"We had a very nice day of fishing, Friday June 30th with Captain Randy, 21 trout and 5 triple
tail were in the box at the end. All bait and tackle was furnished, including fishing tips, and
corrections for bad form. All fish were cleaned at the end of the day by Captain Randy and one of
our fishing partners, thanks Glenn. Perfect for me, hope to book a trip with my 8 yr old son in the fall.
Captain Randy is a very personable guide willing the show you the best ways to catch fish and will put you
on them. Thanks Captain Randy."

"I want to thank Captain Randy for making my first saltwater fishing trip a tremendous success,
I have been a largemouth black bass fisherman my whole life and never would even consider any other
fishing, but a trip presented itself for me to have the chance to go on a guided trip so I took it,
after meeting Captain Randy I knew right off he was the typical good ole Texas boy we all like to hang
with, it was a pleasure to meet and learn from him; I can tell anyone wondering should I take the trip;
that you will catch fish and in the process learn the techniques needed to catch a variety of fish, I was
glad to learn that it is technique that will catch a spec just like bass; Captain Randy had only top
notch rod and reels, with a large variety of tackle to use, the conversation through out the day kept us
all smiling, it was a full rounded pleasure, I will fish salt water in the future, time does not allow us
to fish as much as we like so it is important that we make each trip a good one,
Thanks Captain Randy for a good one."

"My father-in-law and I fished with Capt. Randy last week, and I'll tell you it was the best
experience I've ever had with a guide. Randy is definitely a fishing guide, not just someone that
has a boat and not a job, he takes this seriously. We met about 5:30am, and were on the water by 6:00,
had our first keeper trout by 6:30. The fishing held up for several hours, one good trout after another.
Once we worked the first spot over good, we moved into a couple of other holes and the action never stopped.
Randy know the places to go, regardless of wind or current, if the wind changes go here, if the tide changes
go there, and each time we moved we stayed on fish. Having lived in Beaumont for several years, I thought I
knew the area, Capt. Randy has fished here for 30+ years, and when he says he is the best, believe him.
We finished the day with a limit of 20-26" Trout, with some Reds and Flounder mixed in for good measure.
I will definitely be going back for another dose of Capt. Randy's good fishing and good humor."

"I wanted to take my Dad on a fishing trip that would be memorable so I booked a trip with Captain Randy.
We ended up having a huge amount of rain right before our booked trip so Captain Randy said that we needed to
postpone the trip so that we would have a good fishing day, which I thought was quite commendable of him. So
on the 23rd of July we set out on our rescheduled fishing trip. Being the exceptional guide Captain Randy is,
he took the time to show us how to fish productively by catching the good fish and not trash fish. We caught
30 speckled trout and 1 red fish. No one in the bay or jetties were catching fish that day in those numbers
(I think he called the fish on the cell phone). Captain Randy is a very personable and knowledgable fishing guide.
Thanks for the memorable trip Captain Randy! We look forward to another one."

"I am 71 years old and have been out with numerous guides from Port Aranasas to Lake Sabine.
No one comes close to matching the great fishing day you will have with Capt. Randy Foreman. He
knows it all, tides, wind, water color, following the birds, and most of all presentation of the bait.
While other are not catching fish you will be reeling in your limit, redfish and trout. Yesterday we
went out and caught our limit of beautiful 3-5 lb trout and were back in by noon. and that matches all
the other trips I have had with this fun and knowlegeable guide. I have taken people out with Capt.
Foreman who have never fished before and he had them fishing like pros in an hour, teaching them
how to cast and present the bait. His patience is limitless. And to make the day even better, Captain
Randy will send you to Kim's for a great Oyster, Chicken or Catfish poorboy to end a great day.
Change the Quality of your Life, Fish with Captain Randy A real adventure you will treasure, always,
and feel like a new person the next day."

"We booked a trip with Captain Randy in June of 2006. We had a wonderful time even with the heat.
We, including our 6 year old son, caught loads of fish. We couldn't have asked for a nicer person for
the entire family. If you're looking for a true fishing guide, Captain Randy is the perfect person.
He's very accommodating, and will do everything he can to get you where the fish are. We'll be booking
another trip soon."

"I have used other guides in the area and by far Capt. Randy is the best in the area.
While I am not a novice fisherman I learned a lot from Randy. He was patient and understanding
unlike some guides who are more worried about getting paid. We went out on a Sunday and there
were a lot of boats on the water and in the area we were fishing, but that did not stop us from
catching fish. We ended up with 20 trout in the box in only a half day of fishing.
Can't wait to go fishing with him again."

"I would Like to tell other fellow fisherman about a trip I will not soon forget.
The trip started out slow due to the weather catching some Gaff top and a 25 min. fight
with a jack cravell on light tackle. We then move up into the Sabine Lake. Capt. Randy
was determined to get my son and I on some fish and that he did. He showed us a lot of
different technique’s that I was not familiar with. Even after fishing for 25 years.
Capt. Randy is very knowledgeable and patient. My son and I had a great time we ended
up catching some very, very nice speck’s on live bait and one big red fish. He has helped me
with fishing Sabine Lake and we intend to book another trip. I highly recommend Capt. Randy
for your fishing trip. This man has a lifetime of knowledge he will share with you."

"Well this all started Sunday April 23, 2006 my co-workers and I meet a great person and
not mention a great fishing guide. We meet at the landing @ 7:00 am and Captain Randy had us
on fish by 7:45 am we took home 22 trout and left our mark on many more. Captain Randy is a
man of his word he said he would put us on trout and he delivered. We all had a GREAT TIME
and we are looking forward to our offshore trip."

"For this first time in my life I got to go fishing in brackish water. Capt. Randy was the most
awesome guide that anyone would ever want. We had been on the water less than 30 minutes and I had
caught two ocean trout. That was the beginning of a wonderful day of fishing. I will and would
recommend anyone that wants the great experience of fishing in this area to contact Capt Randy.
I hope that in the not to far off future that I will again get to fish with Capt Randy and bring my sons with me."

"I was recently in the Orange, TX area on a boiler repair job with my crew
from Maine when we found ourselves with several days off due to scheduling. We began
looking for ways to entertain ourselves when I found Capt Randy’s web site (we also
found a brochure in the motel lobby) & decided to book a trip. Altough he was very busy,
when he heard our circumstances he managed to work us in for a day of fishing.
We launched on Saturday morning even though the wind was extremely strong. Capt Randy first
took us to an area partially blocked from the wind where he taught us a few fishing techniques
& explained the tackle & our plan for the day. Then we were on our way.
Even with the high winds we had a very good time. We all caught some fish (although a few weren’t
keepers), saw a big alligator & several pink flamingos. Capt Randy was very patient & showed us a good time."

"Tough day of fishing so I thought. Is there really a tough day of fishing?
Capt. Randy had us on the fish that were catchable. He worked for us and not for
his money. I have to appreciate that. We caught around 20 fish and were real surprised
at how hard some of those fought. I will look forward to our trip in June with Capt. Randy
and the pleasure of being on the boat with him. He is truely a die hard fisherman who is
looking for his customers best interest."

"My daughter(6 yrs old), son(4 yrs old) and I fished with Captain Randy and
had an incredibly fun day. Captain Randy could not have been more patient
or friendly with my children. We caught fish from the moment we anchored
until it was time to head in. This was my kids first guided trip and they
felt very comfortable with Captain Randy the entire time and could not
stop laughing every time a fish hit the bait.
It is obvious Captain Randy knows everything about fishing this area and
will put you on fish, but most importantly he is a fun guide to fish with
and is very personable. I would definitely recommend calling him for any
type of fishing in this area."

"My heart skipped a beat when, on the VERY FIRST CAST, I felt a nibble and hooked a three pound trout!!!
Nothing is better than that!!! I knew I was in good hands with Cap'n Randy! I hadn't fished for years and
I he was very patient as I refreshed my casting techniques and reacquainted myself with the whole process.
He was diligent in finding the best nooks for the best catch. I had a wonderful day and hope to return
with my family soon! Thank you, Captain Randy! Can't wait to see the photo of my first fish in over 10 years!"

"My name is Tony I fished with Captain Randy it was a very windy day, but a lot of effort from
my Captain we managed to catch several good specs. The fish didn't start biting very good until
about 2:30, but Randy stayed a couple extra hours to allow me to have much better day. I have fished
with guides all across the country. Captain Randy didn't do like most and say sorry about the slow day
and go back to the launch at 4pm he stuck it out and I appreciated every precious second."

"To put it into prospective. “NOTHING FANCY JUST FISHING” would be my words for Randy’s guide service.
He is a “TRUE” Fisherman. From the hand shake hello to the hand shake goodbye, Randy helped make a very
memorable fishing trip for two of my friends and myself. I will rebook for another trip that is surely
to be as memorable as the first trip. If you are new to fishing or a professional angler and looking for
a memorable fishing trip, give Randy’s guide service a call, you will not regret it! The pictures do not lie!!"

"On Behalf of Corky (the big fish catcher), Tammy, Brian and Sarah, we had an absolutely FABULOUS
time fishing with you. The crabbing was excellent also, I think we caught 15 crab on our poles, and had
a wonderful crab boil at the end of the day. We all look forward to fishing with you again. THANK YOU!"

"I was very impressed with the knowledge that Capt. Randy provided during our recent day trip.
I will refer him to all my friends and family when they are looking to fish in the Port Arthur area.
I had such a great time fishing. Fishing artificial baits was a real experience and the equiptment we used was top notch."

"My sons and I have booked two fishing trips with Captain Randy. Our first outing was great.
Randy took us right to the hot spots. We all caught plenty of flounder, even one drum, but Red Fishing
in the reeds was kick butt. Just like on TV. Captain Randy took care of everything, all we had to do
was fish, fish, fish!!! He had all quality fishing gear, tied the hooks, netted the fish and showed us
some fishing techniques using bait and plastics. When it was all said and done he cleaned the fish.
That is why I booked a second trip for me and my sons.
On our second outing the first thing in the morning we netted bait; got porgie and mullet for speckled trout fishing.
It was hit and miss on the bait, but Captain Randy didn't give up. After getting plenty of live bait we proceeded to
the "HUMP" (the hot spot for specs). We nailed them!!! At one point my son fought a real trophy sized giant "Spec".
Later on in the day the weather got pretty bad so we were forced to leave the "HUMP". I asked Randy if he had any
Red fish holes that would be out of the rain. We proceeded to the Marsh and a new Red fish spot he wanted to try.
We threw plastics for about twenty minutes and "Wham" my son hooks up with a 28" fish, his first. What a way to top
off the trip.
I highly recommend Captain Randy. He knows how the make his customers happy. In fact I'm planning a third trip
to the gulf. Thanks for the great fishing."

"Capt. Randy is a great fishing guide, put us right on the fish (trout), caught about 40 trout, kept 16 nice
size from 20" to 26" long - nice fish, using live bait and we had a blast. Capt. does everything for you on
the boat. Takes your fish off and re-baits your line and gets you fishing again thats good service. Capt randy
is a real nice man and will be true to you if its a good day or not for fishing. Me, my husband, and grandson had a good fishing trip,
and plan to go back soon. Next time we go will be for flounder. Thanks for great trip sir."

"Thank you so much to Captain Randy for a great 4th of July weekend. It
was my granddaughters first time fishing on a boat and she caught the first
trout of the day. We can't wait to come back; we learned so much from the Captain."
- The Moon Family

"Captain Randy knows how and where to get flounder. Other guides I've fished with discourage
flounder fishing. They don't like catching or cleaning them. Captain Randy is just the opposite.
He doesn't cut corners. He's equipped for flounder. He listened to what we wanted and gave it to us.
I highly recommend Captain Randy."
- Dylan B.

"We had a fun and relaxing day with Capt. Randy. He was very helpful,
charming, and took us to the fish. We caught the most and biggest reds we had
ever caught. Anyone would have a great day fishing with Capt. Randy."
- Wayne & Lovera H.
|
"What a great time we had with Capt. Randy!! In spite of less than ideal conditions, Randy
took us to his 'secret' spots and we landed over 20 trout and redfish!! The Captain provided us
with high quality rods, reels and lures and kept us fishing without interruption by instantly
providing replacements when we tangled lines or lost lures. Our party consisted of experienced
and new fishermen; both which strongly recommend a trip with Capt. Randy."
- David B., Brent M., & Mike S.

"My wife and I fished with Capt. Randy in October 2004 for the first time. Not only did he put us on
the fish in less than perfect fishing conditions, but the service he provided was exellent.
Our trip would have been a great experience even if we had not caught any fish that day. We look forward
to fishing with Capt. Randy this coming Spring."
- Craig H.

"I've fished with Capt. Randy 4 times now and on every trip we caught fish, and had a great time.
He certainly knows where the fish are and is an expert on Sabine Lake. I was also very pleased that he
was concerned for our safety when we experienced bad weather (electrical storm).
He reacted quickly and had us all to safety in no time."
- Scott M.
|
"What a great guy and exellent fisherman. Everytime I fished with Captain Randy, he worked his butt off
to put us on the fish. On top of that he always provides great fishing gear, tackle and everything else.
I have fished with Randy for several years and he will work very hard for you and take care of anything
you need."
- John M.

"We had such a great time and experience with Capt. Randy. We caught several fish on our first trip and for
our second trip we went offshore. I was getting a little sea sick but Capt. Randy and his other guides
helped me through it and I ended up having the best time. They took care of cleaning everything, cleaning
the fish, and everything else. My husband and I are already planning our next trip with Randy."
- Dawn C.
|
"Hello Capt. Randy, I just wanted to thank you for great day on the water with my son
Jake! He is very excited about going fishing again as soon as possible and can't wait
to see the picture you took of us and the fish we caught. Thanks again."
- Ken D.

"I enjoyed two great excursions on Sabine Lake with Captain Randy in the fall of 2004.
One, under less than ideal conditions, took us fishing for speckled trout in the ship channel.
Despite the circumstances, his experience enabled us to catch a nice stringer of fish. A few
weeks later I returned and enjoyed red fishing like you can only dream about. Thanks to his
trained eye, we found ourselves in acres and acres of red fish in a feeding frenzy. Everyone
caught their limit, with several over 30 inches being taken. I would highly recommend Captain
Randy to anyone who loves to fish and appreciates a good guide."
