About Your Trip

Captain Michael is an expert fisherman who loves nothing more than to help others catch Redfish, Trout, Black Drum, and Flounder for an amazing day out on Texas' Coastal Bend! His main fishing spots are in Aransas, Copano, St. Charles, Carlos, Mesquite, Ayres, and San Antonio Bays, and he's happy to pick you up from almost anywhere.

Captain Michael's boat is a 23' Crestliner with a Mercury XS 150 motor that provides a comfortable and speedy ride out to catch fish. This boat can go into shallow water and is great for catching Redfish. It also has a trolling motor, and a spacious front fishing deck. The boat can accommodate up to four guests.

When it comes to fishing, Captain Michael likes to use live bait, cut bait, and some artificial lures to target these inshore fish with great success. He will provide everything from rods, reels, tackle, bait, to cleaning your catch so that you can focus on enjoying your day out on the water. All you need to bring is a cooler with your favorite snacks/drinks, a camera to capture the moment, and your Texas Fishing license.

Join Captain Michael for an unforgettable day of fishing and let him take care of the rest!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
