Shellie, Just wanted to say thanks again for the great time you showed us yesterday.  All of us were truly impressed with the trip and it is definitely unanimous that we would like to use you for future trips - the next of which will be in April.
Thanks!

Gary, Thanks for the great outing yesterday. Wow, what a great fishing day.
Thanks for all the help you provided for a bunch of novice fisherman. I suspect we'll be in the market for a 1/2 fishing trip in a month or two.
Thanks Again!

Captain Gary introduced myself and Oklahoma buddy Bill Henshaw to shallow water Red fishing. Half the fun was spotting the fish on the boat ride out, the other half was catching them and limiting out. Fantastic trip, great hospitality, definetely will be back.

Never before have I had a day of fishing like last Friday Oct 21,! We caught specks and reds for 5 solid hours. Our fingers were raw and ALL trout were over 17" !! We picked up some more reds on the flats and finished out the day with limits of trout and reds on all stringers. Capt Gary put us on tons of fish all day and shot some great action pictures as well. He is a consummate professional and a ton of fun on the boat and I highly recommend spending a day on the water with him ! Paul Tarwater, Austin

I JUST WANTED TO THANK CAPTAIN SHELLI (KELLY) FOR A GREAT FISHING TRIP. I HAVE NEVER SEEN "HERDS" OF REDFISH. I AM 29 AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I HAVE EVER LIMITED OUT ON REDS AND TROUT. I HAD A SUPER TIME AND I AM SURE COREY, LARRY, AND I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN NEXT YEAR AROUND THE SAME TIME.

Back in 2002 I took my first trip with Gary, we had a very successful trip with catching our limit of Redfish with a few trout, then in 2003 we took another trip and again another limit of Redfish. This year we targeted Trout and we missed our limit by 1 fish, my friends and I caught 39 trout and 1 red fish. Again Gary great trip and look forward to next year

(Trip 6/18 & 6/19) I've never been much of a fisherman, and going into this trip I wasn't expecting much other then to try and enjoy myself. To my surprise the 2 days I spent out with Gary and Shellie was some of the most fun I've had putting bait on a hook. Not only were they both very knowledgeable of the area, they were helpful in teaching us the little nuances to catching fish. Since my experience I've already spoken to some of my friends about going back, and they all seemed pumped about the idea after hearing of my trip. I'd recommend Bay Rat Guide Service to the beginner (such as myself) as well as the seasoned angler. Thanks again Gary and Shellie for a really good time! Brian Kalinec.

My last trip with Shellie and Gary was 14 April 2004. What a fishing day that was. After a slow start catching fish, the water exploded with schools of black drum in the 3-5 pound range that lasted for about 1 ˝ hours. Hands and arms hurt after that and then came the spec’s. Shellie and Gary will not let time go by without fish catching excitement. Great Trip!! Thanks for a great day of fishing!!

Thanks for the great trip. In the worst of conditions( 50 degree weather and a north wind of about 30 mph) we caught a slew of reds. You never stop amazing us. This is the most fun you can have with your waders on.

Capt. Kyle Barnett

First I would like to thank Gary and Shellie for their generosity for supporting the CCA with donated trips. This was the best money I ever spent at a fundraising banquet. The weekend was a blast, plenty of fish, great weather, fantastic company. I smiled and laughed so much I've got white smile wrinkles in my suntan. It was a pleasure getting to know the two of you. Thanks for a memorable weekend.

Frank and I spent a day on the water with Gary in October. Limits of trout topped off with a 30" redfish! A real great day.

Tracey Dean

What a blast! The dynamic duo does it again! I've never caught so many fish in one day in my life! My wife, daughter and grandson really appreciated the care and kindness Shellie showed them as she taught them the fine art of saltwater fishing while reeling in some nice redfish. At the same time Gary put us guys on the trout big time! What a neat trip. The girls with Shellie and the guys with Gary in the morning, and all of us wade fishing together in the afternoon. October 29th, 2003 will forever be a wonderful memory for our family. There's no questioin about it.....we'll be back! Tracey Dean, Wimberely, Texas

Captain Shellie Gray put us on the Reds!! My dad came down to visit from Indianapolis and loves to catch redfish and what more can you say when you finish out the day releasing over six reds over 26"-27" after we bagged our limit. Thanks for the great trip.

Mark Common

Capt. Gray, Thanks again for making the trip yesterday in extremely "challenging" weather a great experience. The only challenge I have is getting a recipe for the redfish we brought home. I don't think I can measure up to the way Josie's cooked it, but if you or Pete had any suggestions, I would apreciate it! Best regards and we'll be back! Mark Common

Capt. Gary Gray grew up near Seadrift and with his family, has extensive knowledge of the waters around Port O'Connor. Friendly, dependable, honest service which consistently produces a quality experience, whether hunting ducks or fishing for trophy trout, if your destination is the Central Texas Coast, Gary Gray and wife Shellie are the best. I book several trips a year with my sons and recommend you book early as this team is in demand. Doug Howerton Wimberley, Texas

Gary, Wanted to thank you again for the great experience! Douglas hasn't stopped bragging about how he put it on my dad and me. May take us a while to get over this one, but we both enjoy the ribbing as much as he enjoys dishing it out! You made his first wade fishing trip a memorable experience for all. He's already wanting to know when we are going again. I've got a lifelong fishing partner on my hands! Jerold Sauter Richmond, Texas
