Hey! Good morning, started back up this week after the holidays. Water temps have cooled off and water temps have dropped. Surf is full of big redfish slots and oversize. At the same time the sharks, stingrays and trash fish have all gone to deeper waters and are very rare for the next few months. I expect the bite to continue to be mid-day & afternoon as the waters warm up and get the bait moving

Rockport/Aransas Pass area, we have had a great weather pattern lately as well as lower tides. Those 2 things combined have resulted in some great catching days. Water temps in low 70s, air temps in upper 70s, fish have gotten concentrated in drains and guts. I only use artificial baits, fishing over grass flats with pots holes close to deeper water. Downsouth lures, Pavlures, knocking tail lures with soft dines and double Ds. Multiple flavors all based on water clarity. Incorporating the major and minors will help give you more opportunities to catch fish.

It's almost fall, we've already some cool mornings and the fall fishing feels like it's about to go into high gear.

Lots of tailing pods and larger schools on the flats. Mostly focusing on small natural shrimp flies, although crab flies always work.

Redfish has been great with the falling tides due and low water levels to the dry fronts we have been receiving. Also lots of tidal movement with this full moon. Black drum are on the flats and near points that have shell.

The CATCHING has been awesome for the last 10 days or so. The lower tides had made it so easy to catch a lot of reds and black drums. Now with the water coming back, I have had to be following the fish as they move into different areas as tides rise. These kinds of conditions will continue until we stop receiving fronts. April and May are great times in which. I have plenty of dates availableand I am sure we can get you worked in.

    This experience was EPIC. We were blown away by Tommy’s knowledge and his keen instinct of where the fish were. It was INCREDIBLE. This captain has over 30 years on these waters and we are confident he is the fish whisperer of the Rockport waters We will never go on a trip with anyone but Captain Tommy. Book with him , you WILL NOT regret it BEST EXPERIENCE EVER CAUGHT LOADS OF FISH AND GOT OUR REDFISH TOO!!!!

    Tommy could not have been more easy going, I took my 14 year old daughter and he could not have more patient with her. We caught a tagged red, along with multiple other keepers. You know you have a good guide when all the other guides are asking him where the fish are. Thank you Tommy I will be fishing with you again soon.

    Trip: Half Day Rockport Slam

    I brought my teenage sons to Rockport for their first red trip. Tommy was the perfect guide for us. He was patient, helpful and took the time to teach us about the reds and how they move. He talked to them about proper technique and how important it is to be patient. Tommy is the best. And he put us on fish as soon as the anchor dropped. The boys had the best day they’ve ever had fishing. We landed ten and put 6 in the cooler. My son Zeke landed the red of the day at 31.5”. He gladly released the fatty when Tommy explained the importance of those big fish to the breeding cycle. All in all a perfect day on the water thanks to Tommy. We’ll see you again Captain.

    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.
