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. I took over our family boat, last year. 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.
