About Your Trip

Join Captain Colton and his experienced crew for a top-tier Texas fishing adventure focused on great service, great fishing, and a memorable day on the water. With a strong commitment to customer satisfaction, this team is dedicated to making sure every trip is fun, productive, and tailored to your group’s experience level.

With captains who are TPWD and USCG licensed and over 65 years of combined on-the-water experience, you’ll be in capable hands from the
moment you step aboard. Whether you're new to fishing or an experienced angler, the crew works hard to ensure everyone has a chance to catch fish and enjoy the day.

These trips are especially great for families and larger groups, with the ability to accommodate parties of up to 15 anglers. Kids are always welcome, and the crew takes pride in creating a fun, safe, and educational environment for younger anglers while still keeping things exciting for seasoned fishermen.

Depending on the trip length you choose, you’ll explore productive inshore and nearshore waters on either a half-day or full-day outing. These waters are home to a wide variety of popular Gulf Coast species, giving anglers plenty of opportunities throughout the day.

Target species may include Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Alligator Gar, and Sharks, depending on season, conditions, and location. Each trip is adjusted in real time based on what’s biting best, ensuring you spend more time fishing and less time searching.

The crew uses a mix of proven techniques including live bait fishing, cut bait, and artificial presentations to match conditions and maximize your chances of success. Whether you're working the shallows for redfish and trout or targeting larger, hard-fighting species like sharks and gar, there's always something exciting happening on the line.

To show appreciation for those who serve, Captain Colton also offers a 15% discount for active duty military, veterans, police officers, and first responders.

All you need to bring is your food, drinks, sunscreen, and a great attitude. The crew provides the gear, the knowledge, and the effort needed to put you on fish and keep the action going.

Join Captain Colton for a fun, family-friendly Texas fishing trip where customer service comes first, the fishing is always active, and every trip is focused on creating lasting memories on the water.

Awesome day on the water! Everyone caught fish. Both captains were very knowledgeable of the target species and where to find them. Our group gets a charter at least once a year and we’ve found our go to guides finally.
