Tommy is a great guide. He has decades of experience. He has a jet boat to get to the shallows to find the big fish. Second trip with Tommy and hope to have more!

Our fishing experience with Travis was a great one! Travis was very knowledgeable about the waters, the best fishing spots, and what it took to make our trip successful. He was friendly, patient, and helpful throughout the entire experience. We had a wonderful time. We caught 13 black drum and one big red drum. We would definitely recommend Travis to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and experienced fishing guide. We look forward to fishing with him again!!!! FISH ON!!!

Travis was knowledgeable, attentive to detail, and worked very hard to put me and my friend on some solid trout and redfish. I will fish with him again He also did a wonderful job cleaning and packing our fish!

★★★★★
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!!!!

Great morning with Travis. Got us onto fish straight away and our two boys loved it. A 30” redfish started things off and we finished with a 5-6ft alligator gar, with plenty of others between them. Highly recommend a trip out with Travis!
