Mid-Texas Inshore

The low tide, wind, and cold didn’t help our fishing. However, Jay was able to get us on some Sheepshead where we limited out. One of which was a couple inches shy of the state record. Thanks Jay for our amazing trip and sharing your birthday with us. I will be calling him again soon and thereafter

I grew up never being a fan of bay fishing due to having some bad experiences with Captains being rude and giving half ass efforts while on the water. Five years ago or so, some friends convinced my wife and I to go fishing with them in Rockport with this Captain they always raved about, Capt. Jay Nichols. It was all over after he put me on my first Red. I have gone out with Jay numerous times over the years and have had a blast every trip. Even when it’s slow, you will not see many Captains work as hard as he does to try to put his clients on the fish. Remember, it’s fishing, not catching, there are THOSE days, but still worth being on the boat who makes you feel like a friend rather than a client. The selfish part of me didn’t want to write a review cause I go last minute fishing quite often and don’t want him to be completely booked, lol, but he deserves it. Book with Capt. Jay, you won’t regret it!

Jay is not only an experienced and well-versed captain with a great knowledge of the Texas coast but also a pleasure to be around. Having fished for more than 40 years I still learned things I didn’t know about redfish. My wife and I along with another couple took the trip with Jay and all had a great time and cut some very nice reds. We were very impressed especially when he showed us how to use the throats of the redfish which when grilled wrapped in bacon and jalapeño were excellent. I would recommend Jay to anyone from a novice to the experienced fisherman or woman of any age.
