Johnny has been married for over 30 years and has a family of 3 daughters and 1 son. Prior to running our current fishing business, we owned and operated a diesel repair shop in Houston, Texas. In 2012, Johnny designed his newest vessel, the 57′ Blackwell custom boat after years of operating both the 36’ and 42’ center consoles. This boat has the combination of speed and efficiency, center console design, and accommodations for sleeping, shower/bathroom and kitchenette for overnight and commercial trips. This vessel is also equipped with a forward underground ice hole and live-well on rear of the boat, for any “large catch” trips. We look forward to giving you an offshore experience you will enjoy and remember for years to come.
