Head out onto the productive waters around Rockport for an awesome day of fishing with Captain Toby Smith. He’s been fishing these waters since he was a kid, with his father as the guide he started learning the tips and tricks of the trade at a very young age. Now with his own charter business, he specializes in fishing the intricate bay systems around Rockport, so whatever your age or skill level, you’re in for a trip to remember.
His boat is a 22’ Majek bay boat that runs on a powerful 225 HP Yamaha V6 outboard engine. There’s enough room here for up to 4 anglers, so it’s perfect if you’re looking to have a good time together with your family. With all the necessary safety gear and navigation electronics on board, you can look forward to a safe and productive trip.
Of course, the main thing you need for a productive trip is a lot of fish, and these waters can provide just that! It’s an inshore paradise where you’ll be going after the likes of Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, and more. You never really know what you’ll find on the end of your line!
All the rods, reels, tackle and bait you’ll need are included in the trip price. Not only that, but Capt. Toby will clean and bag your catch as well as offer a few suggestions on how to cook them. You’ll need to bring a valid fishing license with you, along with any drinks and snacks you’d like to have for the day. Come on down to Rockport and get some quality fishing done with Jellybean Guide Service!

Captain Toby Smith has been fishing since he was 4 years old. He grew up fishing with his dad who instilled a love for the sport that he has not shaken since! He knows Rockport and the surrounding waters like the back of his hand, and you can catch him on the water almost every day of the year!

Great day fishing. Captain Toby is very experienced and it was a pleasure spending the day with him. It was a great day fishing with my son. This was a trip that we will both remember for years. Toby new exactly where to go and put us on the fish. I’ve fished the coast since I was a boy and this is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I highly reckoned Jellybean guide service.

My 14 year old son and I went on a half day trip following the hard freeze in South Texas. Nobody was catching fish. Captain Tony worked hard to get us on fish. We ending up getting several small reds but I think Toby wanted to see my son get a keeper red as bad as I did. He kept taking us spots even after our time expired. My son ended up with two keepers. I can’t imagine anyone working harder for us to catch fish in this conditions. Going to book another trip with Captain Toby for sure.

Our family had a great time on our fishing trip last week. The fish weren’t biting but Captain Toby Smith did an amazing job trying to hit as many areas as he could get get our 7 year old son some fish. Also, after being on the boat all morning the kiddos were hungry and he recommended an amazing breakfast joint a few minutes away. Highly recommend Jellybean Guide Service and hopefully we’ll be back and get another opportunity to go fishing with him in the future.

Epic birthday fishing trip!!! Capt. Toby Smith was great! He knew where the fish were. Caught the first fish in the fist five minutes of fishing. Caught my limit early on reds and was one shy on my limit on black drum spent the rest of the time catching and releasing more reds than I could count. I also shattered my personal best record on both species of black and red drum. Captain Toby took care of everything from start to finish. Highly recommend!

I booked this trip with my two sons and my neice as the only vacation we would get this summer due to Covid-19, and before my oldest son went back to college. Toby was on time at the dock and ready to go! From first stop, the fish were biting and we were all having a great time! Toby kept us hydrated, had plenty of bait, and handled everything for us once we caught a fish - from getting it off the line, to measuring it, to photo opportunities! I was most impressed when a seagull snatched our bait, mid-air as we were casting and got the hook in it’s wing. Toby reeled in and wrestled the snapping seagull, got the hook out and released him! Thank goodness for Toby! Toby made the trip fun and relaxing and I never had to worry about a thing. His laid back but very professional personality was a perfect fit with my crew! I highly recommend jellybean guide service and Toby Smith and we will use his company anytime we come back to the coast for a fishing trip. Thank you for all the great memories with my family, Toby!
