After years of seeing Capt Grem post on this board and appreciating his contributions and knowledge, I finally scheduled a quick trip with him on Saturday.

The trip was really for my two daughters (10 & 12) after we had an East TX crappie trip cancelled due to weather. I wanted to get them on some fish and have a good time on the water and my FIL's boat is also in the shop for the next 2 months or so.

Capt Grem was incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating, and extremely patient with the girls. We probably lost a few extra hooks and weights snagging them in the rocks that we shouldn't have, but it was never a problem for him. It was a battle just to keep the hooks baited most of the morning!

We ended up 1 shy of our limit of sheepshead but we lost 7-8 fish at the boat that we should have landed. Me and the kids just couldn't get a few of them quite directed into the net. 1 extra fish wouldn't have changed anything about the trip though - it was great!

We even timed the return to the ramp just in time for the ice cream truck!

TLDR - go fish with Grem, kids or not, and you'll have a great time! My only regret is that I waited this long to book a trip with him but I'll be back before too long!

Awesome! Congrats on the fish and a great time spent with the kiddos. Sheepshead are great eating fish.

It was good meeting you and your sweet girls at the ramp. I can tell you all had a blast and came home with some great eating fish. It was good catching up with Grem, as always, too.

Glad your crew had fun. You guys are doing a great job guiding them as they were a treat to have on the boat. Great great kiddos. Hope I get to have them back out many many times. Thanks so much for sharing the family time out with me.

Great to see Trident and his boy too. Your new sled is a fine vessel! Can't wait to be on deck and see it up close.
