About Your Trip

Experience the Best Inshore Fishing on the Texas Coast

Join me for an unforgettable day of fishing the legendary waters around Aransas Pass, Redfish Bay, and South Bay aboard my 23’ Haynie bay boat. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first time on the water, I’ll work hard to put you on fish while making sure everyone has a safe, enjoyable experience.

Trips typically last 4–6 hours, depending on the package you choose.
We target Speckled Trout, Redfish, Black Drum, and Sheepshead using live bait or fresh cut bait—the techniques that consistently produce fish in these waters. I adjust our fishing locations based on tides, weather, and current conditions to give you the best opportunity for success.

All rods, reels, tackle, bait, and ice are provided. Just bring your Texas saltwater fishing license, snacks, drinks, sunscreen, sunglasses, and weather-appropriate clothing. Families, beginners, and experienced anglers are all welcome. I’ll gladly clean and bag your legal catch at the end of the trip so it’s ready for the table.

What sets my trips apart is my dedication to giving every customer an honest, hardworking day on the water. I don’t believe in running the same spots every trip—I fish the conditions and use my local knowledge to find active fish. My goal is simple: provide a fun, memorable experience while giving you the best chance to catch quality fish and make lasting memories on the Texas coast.
