My name is Clay, and I am a full-time offshore fishing guide out of Port Aransas, Texas. I got my start charter fishing with my dad in fresh water at 10 years old. I moved to the coast in 2014 and started working on boats in between high school and college. I fell in love with the offshore fishery out here and got my captain's license after finishing college.

This will be my 7th year offshore fishing in Port Aransas. Our company's aim is to bring great catches and customer service to the fishing industry in Port Aransas. I absolutely love to make people smile and will make the best out of any situation.

Captain went above and beyond to ensure we caught everything we asked for. Deck hand worked his tail off keeping our lines bated and fish put into the cooler! Limited out on Red Snapper and caught several Mahi Mahi with one big Amber Jack that was unfortunately out of season and had to be released. Great time for my family of 6-people and everyone was pleased with boat, Captain and deck hand....

EPIC DAY OFFSHORE!!
Captain Clay and Dan (mate) were awesome and our offshore trip with me and my 2 teenage boys was epic. Action was nonstop when bottom fishing and we easily put full limit of red and vermilion snapper in our box. A couple of shark encounters kept it spicy. Icing on the cake was big mahi hook up we got while trolling on way our back in. These guys knew how to find the fish and what to do when you get there! The boat had plenty of comfy space for riding and fishing. The overall experience was smooth, organized and efficient. We had a blast and will use these guys anytime we want to go offshore.
