Flats And Backwaters On Artificials

This was one of the best things I ever booked. This was a surprise for my boyfriend and he had an awesome time. I came into this with very limited knowledge of fishing and left extremely confident in the fishing skills Larry had taught me. We each caught one fish, ...Read More however that’s because we saw dolphins!!! I told Larry I really would like to see more dolphins and man he delivered!! Dolphins swam straight up to the boat it was amazing to see them in their natural habitat. Larry was very interested in what WE wanted to do and he was an amazing guide. I will for sure be bringing my father in law back to fish with Larry. 100% recommend!!!

Everything went well and I had a lot of fun. Larry explained that the February freeze kinda depleted much of the population of fish and the Park Game & Wildlife had to get stricter on being able to keep the fish now. But I still had lots of fun.

First time doing a fishing trip. Captain Larry was very welcoming. He sent me reminders the day before the trip and called me to talk about how the trip would go, suggestions, and questions I had. He was very informational with showing me the basics of fishing and I learned ...Read More to cast perfectly. Ended up catching a few fish!

Captain Larry was great at teaching us how to wade fish and fish with lures instead of live bait. He was very patient with the kids and we all caught fish! It was a great trip overall.

We didn't have the best experience. Part of this is probably our fault. We were not aware that we would be hopping off the boat and wade fishing in the middle of the ocean. When I hear wade fishing I envision closer to the shore. We didn't take the right ...Read More type of shoes for walking in mud/sand that you literally sink into while walking through the literal middle of the ocean. We aren't really as physically fit as we needed to be for the conditions either. I wish we had had a more in-depth description prior to our excursion. It was not enjoyable for me and not much more for my spouse. I wound up sitting on the boat for more than half of the trip because I wasn't comfortable with the conditions but we still paid full price, even though I caught nothing while I was out fishing for quite a while. We also didn't catch muchin total. Brought home 2 reds, caught 1 bass and a flounder total. I wouldn't do it again. Maybe a different type of trip, but not this one! The captain was okay, but not great. I also didn't feel very comfortable with what could have been swimming anywhere in the vicinity. The captain assured us sharks would not be near, but who knows?? I do know there are sharks in the ocean! Lol

Booked a trip with Capt. Larry and had a great time on the water. He put me on fish at every spot we went to. He explained the what and why for everything we were doing and definitely turned it into one big learning experience. I would definitely recommend him ...Read More as a guide and I will be using him again for future trips.

Great day.

Larry is a great guy and we had a lot of fun.

Larry was a great guide!! He was very patient and knowledgeable! Next time we are out this way, we will definitely go out again. We caught more fish than we personally expected!

Great guide! Very knowledgeable of the area and fishing techniques! I have been fishing the Texas coast for 65 years. Larry Bell is one of the best guides I’ve used. Make your fishing trip or vacation better and go with the best, Larry Bell!

Great day wade fishing. Capt. Larry had us on the fish. He was friendly, helpful and very informative. I highly recommend him.

Had a great day with Larry and my three new friends. Caught a few fish to top it off. Larry was very helpful and knowledgeable. He did not just tell you where to fish and how but explained why.

Captain Larry was a great guide and teacher. We learned so much and would highly recommend his guide service. Will definitely book with him again!

Capt. Larry was professional and extremely knowledgeable about the Bays we fished. Great experience with a great guide and good Guy. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking to book in the Aransas/Rockport area. Thanks for a great trip Larry. Charlie W.

What a nice trip. Great time had by all. Knowledgeable, informative and kind.

Took me and my son out and taught us how to fish the bay; not just go out and catch fish. And yes we hit our limits while doing so. Will definitely go out with again in the future. Had a blast wade fishing.

Larry called us the day before to check in. He offered to pick us up in Port A, which was more convenient than getting to Aransas Pass. He was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. I would use him again.

My boyfriend and I had so much fun on our trip! Capt. Larry is very knowledgeable about the native species and their behaviors. We had never exclusively fished with artificial lures before but Larry taught us techniques to properly use them. I would definitely recommend a trip with Larry to ...Read More anyone!

Capt. Larry Bell was great on all counts! He was super knowledgeable, put us on fish, and helpful for my wife and I as we tried wade fishing for the first time. Looking forward to booking a second trip soon!

Once again, Larry did a superb job! My older brother and I had a great full day on the most beautiful of water. I had a peak experience of my fishing life (some 55 years of fishing) with an early morning catch of two gorgeous red fish while ...Read More wade fishing along a grassy bank, and then soon after the 2nd catch, having a porpoise appear some 30 yards to my right doing 5 minute display of its own style of aggressive fishing. Wow! Thank you Larry, and thanks for making both our days with you so fun. I especially appreciate how you helped my older brother have a great time in spite of his physical challenge wading.

Superb guide! We really enjoyed the fishing. Larry is a very experienced and skilled guide, a great fisherman himself and an exceptionally nice person. We booked for another full day with him already.

Really knowledgable and had lots of patience with my child. Really knew the marine life that was swimming past us. With the many years of experience he really put us at ease and answered my son's questions.

We could not have enjoyed our trip with Larry more. He is a excellent guide, very knowledgeable and we could tell he loves what he doing. Larry, put us on Trout and Reds. He’s worked hard to make sure Sis was able to fish like a expert. We both are ...Read More looking forward to another trip in the future. Larry really is the best in the business All stars on this trip for sure very nice boat and equipment thanks again Rob C

Larry is a fun guy to fish with. We had a bunch of questions he answered everything. He was very informative about fishing, boats and the area. Very windy day, we fished until we had had enough. It was a slow day.

I had been trying to figure out how to catch reds and trout with artificial lures and realized that I needed a bit more guidance on the how. Captain Larry more than provided the information on now only "how" but also gave "why", "when", and "where." He also offered great ...Read More information for both me and my wife for casting from boats, wade fishing, and from land. He loves what he does and it shows. My wife enjoyed the trip so much that we are scheduling another outing with Captain Larry for her birthday in a month or so. Damn good trip? YES! Hands down one of the best guides I have ever had.

If you're looking for an expert, down-to-earth, natural-born, get-you-on-the-fish, courteous, and professional fishing guide, Larry is your guy! He is the most knowledgeable and fun guide to hit the waters with in the Corpus Christi & Aransas Pass area. You'll be on redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and whatnot ...Read More like you wouldn't believe. He taught us how to hook fish using artificial lures so well that we both had walk-off red catches. Both were within the slot. We limited on reds and finished early! We've had many guides in tons of fishing spots around the globe. Larry is #1 by a longshot. You will thank us for this recommendation. We vouch for Larry. Get a full day trip and expect the trip of a lifetime. Check out our pics bending the rods. It was a great day on the water. Magnificent guide/par excellence. xk & Tamara Peace!

Captain larry was by far one of the best guides I’ve, ever fished with, extremely knowledgeable and a great steward for trout fishing, I wanted to learn more about fishing the area he was great with tips for seeking out these tricky buggars! Thanks again to larry and look forward ...Read More to catching up next time im down

This may sound strange, but my goal in going out with Larry wasn’t really to catch fish. I’m moving to the area and wanted to learn tips and techniques for fishing these waters. I don’t think I could have picked a better guide. Larry knows his stuff! He’s very willing to ...Read More share, and explains things in easy to understand ways. He didn’t focus on *what* we were doing, but *why* we were doing it. We did catch fish, but what I learned from Larry made me a better fisherman. Not only is he incredibly knowledgable, he’s also a super-nice guy. If you’re hesitant about booking with him, don’t be. He busts his tail to get you where you need to be, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks you Captain Larry! I will *definitely* be back. Can’t wait to learn more!

This app worked perfectly and My Captain Mr. Larry out of Rockport was very enjoyable and very knowledgeable about fishing and navigating the waters in my boat. He put us on the fish and we just had an all around good trip. John

We decided to have a cousins fishing trip late July and Capt. Larry didn’t disappoint. We did a full day trip. He really knows the area and when the fish weren’t bitting, he’d quickly adjust and take us to another place. That day the trout were only around shells, so ...Read More that’s where we stuck around most of the time. There was not much wind until later in the day, and that’s when the bitting picked up. I hadn’t caught a red in over 3 years so I was hoping this was the year. Thankfully the two fish hit in our last spot. 23 inch red, and 30 inch 10 1/4 bull (which was released for the next angler to catch ;) ). Fun experience all around, would do it again if I’m back in the area!
