With temperatures on the rise the reds have been moving into the back lakes. Perfect for chasing them with the airboat where outboards can't go.

Fishing is heating up in the Aransas Pass area right along with the weather!
As the water temperatures rise fish will become more aggressive making it much easier for us to pin point a feeding pattern.
Redfish and keeper sized black drum have been the target species these last few weeks. Fresh dead shrimp has been the bait of choice for the black drum. Some days they prefer the shrimp completely peeled. Always give that a try if they don't seem to like it with the shell on.
Most of our Redfish catches have been while using fresh dead shrimp...

Most of our Redfish catches have been while using fresh dead shrimp
or cut up blue crab. Also a few on live pinfish and cut mullet.
Seasons are changing fast and spring break is only a few weeks away. Fishing should only get better from here. Come on down and try your luck!

Fishing with my clients has been awesome. The tides have been really low to almost a normal tide height for this time of year. Yesterday we had some fog so we waited for it to lift some and then we headed to the location we were going to fish. Never moved. I'm gonna say we landed 30 plus redfish from undersized to maximum legal limit. We had caught our 4 limits .

    Trip: Rockport Bay Slam

    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.
