In fact, Rockport was named as one of The 100 Best Small Art Towns of America by Americans for the Arts.

    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. He’s great with kids, has plenty of interesting stories and just a pleasure to be around. Book with Corey! You won’t regret it!

    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.

    Fishing with Ben was amazing and just what we were looking for. My wife and I took my 83 year old father out for a morning and Ben had us catching fish as soon as the bait hit the water. We only kept what we were going to eat so we threw a lot back (not to mention the ones that we missed). For an enjoyable time catching fish I recommend going out with him and ask about taking the airboat.

    Great experience with Captain Jim! Super friendly with tons of stories about his life experiences. Fishing was slow across the area the day we went, big changes in weather dropped the temps but got a couple of keeper reds and all kinds of other different fish which was fun to learn about and see. Highly recommend taking a trip with him he will keep you entertained for hours

    10/14/23 Windy day, but Ben got us on the reds within 20 minutes of being in the boat and worked to keep the bite going for us right up until the end of our day! Ben, thanks again for making our first trip fishing for reds a huge success and we’re already talking about planning our next trip!

    Thomas AKA Tommy was amazing! He made sure my 13 year old son and grandson had a good time. He got them catching fish and cut up with us and was respectful. He was extremely knowledgeable. We had a really great time!

    Took my family to the Rockport to celebrate one of my son's tenth birthday. My son had a blast! Captain Brody put us on the fish! He was really patient with our son and showed us all a great time. Would book with him again in a heartbeat (and we will)! Money well spent!

    The three of us and Tommy went on a fishing trip on Saturday morning, very early! Throughout the entire trip, Tommy was great! He’s a true fisherman and is probably out on the water everyday. He took us to multiple spots around the bay. During our trip, we were able to catch both red fish and drum fish. Tommy casted for us and we had the joy of reeling the fish in. Tommy had us laughing and had great stories the whole time. After we got back, Tommy cut the fish the way we wanted. This was a great fishing trip and we would recommend this trip to others!! Thanks for the trip Tommy!!

    We had an incredible fishing trip with Corey! Our group of four had a fantastic time, thanks to his expertise and friendly demeanor. Corey made sure everyone had bait on their lines, and he effortlessly adapted to our varying levels of fishing experience. His easy-going nature and knowledge of the sport created the perfect atmosphere for a memorable day on the water. We highly recommend Corey as a fishing guide!

    Good fishing trip with a great guide! Toby put us on some Red Fish and we caught our limit early! Then he found us some Sea Trout and we caught several of those too!

    Wow, if I could add 10 stars, that might be enough. Captain Corey was knowledgeable, personable and he offered up a treasure trove of tips and anecdotes that made the time fly. He even gave me great advice on where to get the best local seafood for my dinner. I caught a massive stingray on our outing, which is an experience I won’t soon forget. I highly recommend his guide services, regardless of your skill level. His love for fishing is matched by his expertise. You’ll have a great time, even if the fish aren’t biting. But he seems to know where they are, even when other boats are out of luck!

    Jim was an amazing captain. He is very personal and friendly. The stories he can tell you are entertaining. Fishing was slow but he kept on trying to find fish for us. End of the day catch on redfish made our day.
