Reds bite is solid in the surf, easy limits. In the bay, trout bite is picking up on deep reefs too. Reefs holding black drum, back lake drains holding reds during tidal movements

Trip: Rockport Redfishing
★★★★★
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!

Had a fantastic time fishing with Robert in Rockport last Wednesday. He was knowledgeable, professional, and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable from start to finish. You can tell he really knows the area and works hard to put you on fish. Great communication, well-organized trip, and just an all-around great guide. We had a lot of fun and created some awesome memories out on the water. Highly recommend booking with Robert if you’re in Rockport — we’ll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time with captain Tommy! He was attentive to our needs and helped us catch three beautiful red fish! He had many years of experience and it shows. Highly recommended!

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
★★★★★
We had an epic cast n blast with Chase. Chase sets up mobile duck blinds so you can set up right where the birds are vs hoping they fly to your one blind. We cruised around, found the birds, and set up our blind for an evening hunt. Then we waded the flats and caught literally hundreds of redfish with plenty of keepers. We got back into the blind and saw thousands of ducks across the way from us on the water, but they never flew our way. All in all, 10/10 day seeing tons of ducks and catching a mess of fish. Thanks Chase, will be back!

Absolutely awesome trip! Bryce was perfect! We had a slow bit to start the day but we eventually it picked up and we ended up catching a bunch of fish!

Trip: Family Friendly Rockport

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.

Went with Jay on Jan 19, 2026. He was very amicable and told us just what to expect. We ended up with a limit of black drum. The reddish decided to be a little more skittish. Overall, a really nice day and pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend a trip with Jay!
