About Your Trip

Come have some serious fun and explore some of the most prolific waters in the area with Captain Henry!

Captain Henry hotspots in SPI have been hitting, so make sure to listen closely to his tips and tricks.

On these 6 or 8-hour state water offshore trips, you can expect to target Kings, Blackfin, Bonito and Red Snapper (when in season), and many more species! When Red Snapper is in season, Captain Henry has some special spots way up the coast that hold some big boy Red Snapper within the State Water line!

You will be fishing aboard Captain Henry’s 30-foot center console powered by twin 300 HP Mercury Verado engines. It can accommodate up to 6 anglers, has a private toilet, spearfishing and snorkeling equipment, and a livewell. A first mate will also be on board to help you when you need it.

Don’t forget to bring a valid Texas Fishing License (which you can purchase online), a hat, sunscreen, some food and drinks for the day, and an ice box to take home your day’s catch. Henry will provide all rods, reels, tackle, and lures. For an additional fee, he will clean and fillet your day’s catch.

Get ready for an action-packed day on the water with Captain Henry!

About Your Guide

Captain Henry

Independent Guide 10 yrs of exp.

Captain Henry hosts bayfishing trips, dolphin excursions, daily sunset tours, and deep sea charters when weather permits and during calm seas. Captain Henry's go-to technique is trolling, but he'll also have no problem getting you a fish with light and heavy tackle.

Captain Henry has a true passion for the sport of fishing and everything to do with the Texas coast. He proudly worked for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department while volunteering at the Coastal Fishery Department. During that time he gained invaluable knowledge about how coastal fish species travel, eat and spawn. It's safe to say his volunteer work set him up to be a top tier guide!

Had a great time and caught lots of fish. Captain Henry took the time to make sure we were comfortable with the equipment and his mate couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly.

Fun, but not great. It was supposed to be offshore but it wasn't. The boat said it was equipped with a bathroom, it was not. After tipping for a total of $725 the two black drum we caught better be pretty tasty.

Captain Henry was great with our novice kids ages 16, 11 and 8, and they all had a blast. He was patient, informative, helpful and accommodated my son when he started getting nauseous. If a spot wasn’t working, he would move to another location. The 30’ ...Read More

Alex kept very busy, trying to make sure all of us were baited and trying to catch fish. Very patient and we did ok, considering no one out their today had good catches. We would recommend Alex as a great guide to everyone!
