Head on down to Freeport Texas and experience an action-packed day of fishing with Captain Corey. On the day of your trip you'll head out aboard Captain Corey's 23' Stoner Super Cat to explore the bays and backwater grass lines around Freeport. You can fish from the boat or get out and wade depending on your preference, but either way your main quarry for the day will be Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, and the occasional Sheepshead as well. Corey likes to fish live bait or artificials and has his secret spots for each species if you have a preference or he has a couple locations where all three+ can be present. Just let him know what you're goals are for the day and he will be willing to accommodate! Make sure to bring a valid Texas fishing license as well as snacks and drinks of your choice (no glass). If you choose to go wade fishing, bring waders and wading boots with you. Captain Corey will provide the rest - rods, reels, tackle, and an icebox for your day’s catch. Catch and release practices are encouraged but it is completely up to you the customer if you'd like to bring some fish home for dinner or the freezer. Read More

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?
Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.
Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.
Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.
Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.
