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...

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 had us laughing and had great stories the whole time. After we got back, Tommy cut the fish the way we wanted. This was a great fishing trip and we would recommend this trip to others!!

Started catching under size and he wasn’t satisfied. Moved and started sight fishing and slayed them. We ended up with a cooler full of keepers plus twice as many landed. Tommy spent a lot of time teaching and showing us how to spot the schools of drum while sight fishing. Great conversation and

We had a great time even though the weather was a little cool. Our grandson said he had an awesome time catching the most and the biggest fish. Had a lot of laughs and a GREAT time. Thank you Captain Tommy.
