About Your Trip

Climb aboard with Captain Jim and experience an amazing day of inshore fishing on the Texas Gulf Coast!

Captain Jim launches his trips from Seadrift down to Rockport, depending on the weather, the season, where the fish are biting hardest, and most importantly: where you're located. That's right, Captain Jim is willing to travel for you to ensure you have the best fishing experience. On these 4, 6, or 8-hour adventures, you’ll mainly be reelin’ in Redfish, but Captain Jim loves to target Trout as well. On a good day, you can hit a "Texas Grand Slam" and catch a Redfish, a Speckled Trout, and a Flounder in one trip!

You’ll need to bring a valid Texas Fishing License with a saltwater stamp as well as some food and drinks. Other than that, Captain Jim will take care of the rest. He’ll provide all rods, reels, tackle, and bait. He will also provide ice and an ice chest for your day’s catch. These trips can accommodate four people, so make sure you bring some good company!

Come on down and make some memories with Captain Jim!

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

Four Stars because the folks are still raising the bar on perfection!
My son and I share birthdays and decided we'd like to try a trip out of Rockport. Found Captain Experience on Google and that started a great trip. Communication, planning and efficiency are all traits these folks have got down. Once a trip was decided, booked on line, deposit online, excellent updates and communication until the day of the trip.

Communication, planning and efficiency are all traits these folks have got down. Once a trip was decided, booked on line, deposit online, excellent updates and communication until the day of the trip.
Captain Jim and I spoke prior to the trip where he inquired about any limitations or special needs or requests.
Trip day the captain was on the water at the dock as specified and we were off. Short boat ride to the first stop and put a few small reds in the boat.
Saw several firsts on this trip... a lizard fish, schools of thousands of cow nose rays and my son acting like a little kid again he was having so much fun.
It was a rough day on the water fishing wise, Captain Jim kept us entertained and also hit multiple locations that should have been fishy but were not. That's why it's called fishing and not catching.
Bottom line is through Captain Experience we got to have a day on the water with an outstanding guide that would not have happened otherwise. My son and I both had a great time just fishing and having fun.
10 out of 10 would do this "4 star" experience again.

Capt. Jim took out my dad, brother in law, and myself for a 6 hour trip. It started off a little slow but he put us on fish and we were able to land some nice reds, black drum, and even a flounder. Had a great trip and got to spend quality time with my dad and brother in law. Great trip over all.

4 of us went out with Jim on july 9 after very heavy rains. I'm talking 20 inches. The whole town was flooded but he still managed to get us on the water. Jim did his absolute best to try and put us on the fish. We fished Rockport to Port Aransas but just couldn't find the fish. The weather was great.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.
We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.
Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.
Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
