trip description for Reel Fun Bay and Flats Trip in Rockport

Captain Jason will customize your trip to your preferences. On your pre-trip call he will advise what has been working recently, but will fish the way you prefer. Fishing out of the boat with cut or live bait for reds, speckled trout or black drum. Drifting the flat with live shrimp under popping corks or lures and soft plastics. Wading shorelines with lures or live bait. It is your trip and wants you to have fun. He fishes primarily for reds, speckled trout and black drum. If you catch a limit of the targeted species or they are simply not bitting, he will always look for feeding fish to catch. His goal is to keep your fishing rods bent and you having fun for the full 6 hours. Typically he launches from Cove Harbor North next to Paradise Key Restaurant. On the pre-trip call launch locations can be changed, depending on the type of trip or bay to be fished. All launch locations changes will be agreed to by both parties on pre-trip call. For parties larger than 4 people he works either several boats to accommodate big parties. Read More

trip description for Texas Coast Cast and Blast in Rockport

If you've been looking for the perfect trip to kick off the duck season and stock up on keeper fish, this trip is for you! On this "cast and blast" adventure, you'll start off the day with duck-hunting from a blind, then after lunch you'll head out to do some inshore fishing. There's no better way to take advantage of the natural beauty of the South Texas coast! Located smack in the middle of the Central Flyway, the South Coast of Texas is an annual stopover for millions of ducks, which come to rest in the protected bays and inshore waters while they migrate. Species here include Green-Winged and Blue-Winged Teals, Cinnamon Teals, Wigeons, Redheads, Pintails, Gadwalls, and Mottled Ducks—all of which are a blast to shoot and great to eat as well. In addition, the rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico make this area one of the richest inshore fisheries in the US, with trophy Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Drum and more just waiting to be caught. Your outfitter, Brody, will provide everything you need for a spectacular day, including blinds, decoys, rods, reels, and tackle. All you need to bring is a pair of waders, your camo gear, your gun, and your shells. If you have wingshooting and/or fishing experience, this is a perfect way to hit your limit on multiple species! If you're still new to the outdoors life, this is a great way to improve your skills alongside a top-notch guide. Get out there and see what the Texas coast has to offer! Read More

    My son and I went out with Rueben and had a great time. It was a windy day and the fish weren’t initially biting but he took us to a bunch of different spots and we hauled in a few redfish.

    Captain Corey was fantastic! Went out of his way to get the “right” bait (which it was!). We caught enough fish, on a really windy day, for the kids to have wonderful memories.

  • ★★★★★
    Awesome fishing trip! Booked two days back to back for my boys and extended family, but was canceled on a month out and pushed to Captain Corey. Turned out to be the best thing that could have happened! Captain Corey was super available, coordinated and communicated well in advance, adjusted trips to give us the best experience. First day was slower (cold weather) and he adjusted timing to make it awesome. Limited out second day because of him!!! Haven’t met a team yet that will work as hard as he did to put us on fish and ensure we had fun! Like fishing with family! We will book with him each time from here on out. Thank you.
