Water temps still sitting in mid 60's red and trout are in waste deep water. We have been starting the mornings with corky's or soft plastics for our trout. For redfish we are sticking with a soft plastic with a 1/16 jig head. Be looking for scattered shell and mud with a shell flat to the outside. As the day heats up the fish are movie closer to shoreline to sun. The double D has been a killer bait in the afternoon for both reds and trout in the afternoon over shell.

    Great day out fishing with Capt. Tommy. He took great care to make sure we had an enjoyable time. It was like we were with a good friend out to drown some fish for dinner. If you want to find Reds, he knows where to go. Don't hesitate. Book him.

    Redfish Success with Captain Tommy – Rockport, TX Despite a windy day and high water near Aransas Pass, Captain Tommy put us right on the fish. The flats were tough, but he still knocked out a two-man limit of redfish in just three hours—no small feat under those conditions. His personality was a great mix of humor and local know-how. While he didn’t spill too many trade secrets (understandably!), he kept the trip engaging and productive. If you’re chasing reds around Rockport, he’s absolutely worth booking. Solid guide, solid results.

    Tommy was great. Despite some reservations at the end of a busy holiday weekend, he got us on fish. We had a great time and Tommy interacted well with our group. We hope to book again with Tommy in the future.

    We had great Monday morning fishing trip with Tommy. Communication was great, he was ready for us early and put us on the fish. We will be back and fish with him.

    My son and I had a great time fishing with Captain Experience’s guide, Tommy, on May 25, 2025. He really knew where to find good fish, and he made sure we were safe the whole time—especially me, since I’m a bit older! We really appreciated everything he did. We’re excited to go on another trip with him someday. 5 out of 5 stars!

    Tommy has excellent knowledge of the bay and lead us to a bountiful drum catch. We enjoyed his company and learning his method of drum fishing.

    My family went out with Tommy today. He put us on fish immediately. We had 6 huge red fish within our first 30 minutes. If the fish are biting he knows where to take you. AWESOME
