Aransas Pass Fishing Charters

Ready for the trip of a lifetime? Let Captain Troy show you where the monsters lurk around Aransas Pass. As a 3rd generation Aransas fishing guide it's safe to say that Captain Troy knows how to get his clients on fish, and big fish at that! His passion is chasing tailing reds, and his 23' Majek was custom-built in 2017 to that effect. With an incredibly small draft of 6'' while still and 4'' while on the move, he can follow those tailing reds almost anywhere to get you on 'em. The vessel can handle some mild chop as well, and, with a Mercury 300hp Pro XS on the stern, can rip a clip of 50 knots to get you to the fish quick! Captain Troy will fish anyway that suits your fancy. He is a master with artificial lures and loves repping local brands like Nacho Daddy's Spoons and 3JD Soft Plastics, both of which are out of Aransas Pass. He'll throw live bait to attract those peskier fish, and he loves to see his clients hook into a big fish on the fly! Moreover, he provides all the equipment, lures, bait, and flies you need to guarantee your fishing success. Your day will start before the sun comes up and will be spent exploring the renowned flats and inshore bays around Aransas. So whatever flavor you choose, go out for a full day with Captain Troy to chase big reds, speckled trout, and if you're there August-October even the Silver King. Read More

Bring your waders along for this adventure and head out with Captain Jeff to stalk giant reds and trout up close and personal along the grass lines and flats around the Texas Riviera. Wade fishing allows you stealthily stalk these fish without worrying about your big boat scaring them off, and for the more advanced and thrill-seeking fisherman, this trip allows for a more intimate fight with these sport fish! One of the main reasons more people don't fish this method is because they don't know where to go or when the right time to be out there is. So let Captain Randy show you the ropes and get you on some big fish! Make sure to bring a valid Texas Fishing License, a hat, sunscreen, and any food and drinks of your choice (no glass). Captain Jeff will provide all rods, reels, and tackle. You can purchase live bait and fish cleaning for an additional price. Learn to fish new techniques and create lasting memories on the water while reeling in your personal best with Captain Jeff Read More

For these Cast and Blast trips, Captain Brian offers a duck hunt in the morning followed up with fishing in the afternoon. You will more often than not take the airboat out in the morning to sneak back to one of Brians many well-maintained duck blinds that look over shallow back bays. You're morning will start early around 5:45-6:00am so you and Captain brian have enough time to get the decoys out, and set up in the blind before shooting light. You will hunt until around 10:00am and head back in for lunch. For the afternoon you will switch over to his bay boat to either float the bays and chase trout, redfish, and drum, or sneak around the back bays in his airboat sight fishing! You can expect to find almost every species of Diver ducks and Puddle ducks, also known as dabbling ducks in the Coastal Bend area. The puddle ducks we most commonly find are, Pintail, Gadwall, Widgeon, Shoveler, Blue Wing Teal, Green Wing Teal, Cinnamon Teal and Black Duck or also known as Mottled Duck. The Diving Duck or Divers we most commonly find here in South Texas are Bufflehead, Greater Scaup, Lessor Scaup, Hooded Merganser, Common Merganser, Canvas Back, and Goldeneye. We have such a large selection of Waterfowl. You can also easily find the Black Belly Whistling Tree Ducks. On occasion, you can also find a few Lessor Snow Geese and Speckle Belly Goose or White-fronted Goose . Brian will hunt ducks in Corpus Christi Bay, Nueces Bay, Aransas Bay, Redfish Bay, Copano Bay, and Port Bay. Most of his hunts are by airboat, hunting the shallow water back bays, in duck blinds or on mangrove islands. *Worried about bringing the kids?* If this is their first time to hunt, don’t hesitate. Captain Brian has raised four of his own, the youngest just barely able to write his own name; he understands the patience that is required to take them hunting. It is Captain Brian's philosophy that introducing our youth to the outdoors will ensure the future of our wildlife. It will also teach them the correct way to stay safe and be responsible hunters!

For these trips, Captain Kevin likes to use a 23’ Haynie Bigfoot bay boat that provides a wide, spacious, and stable deck that will serve as your fishing platform.
