About Your Guide

Gibson M.

Outfitter

Fly fishing the Texas Coast doesn't get much better. Sight cast to tailing redfish from the bow while Captain Gibson poles your shallow water skiff across the crystal clear Coastal Bend waters. Anglers can also expect to catch Black Drum, Flounder, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout and more.

On the water, Captain Gibson can best be described as a "Players' Coach". Relaxed and down-to-earth, Gibson loves jamming some tunes on the skiff as you glide the flats. That being said, he's 100% locked in and can spot a Redfish from a country mile- makes sense that he's sponsored by Smith Optics! Be prepared to have a great time, learn the Coastal Bend ecosystem, and drastically improve your casting skills.

Captain Gibson and his team fish over 100 miles of the Texas Coast, from Matagorda Bay and Port O'Connor, through San Antonio Bay, Copano Bay, Aransas Bay, and Corpus Christ Bay, all the way south to the Upper Laguna Madre.

Rest assured Captain Gibson will provide all necessary gear, from rods and reels to flies and tippet.

Captain Gibson is a U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain, IGFA Certified Captain, Licensed and Insured TPWD Guide, and is proudly supported by Hells Bay Boats, Marshwear Clothing, Stiffy Push Poles, Scott Fly Rods, Nautilus Reels, Airflo Flylines, K2-Coolers, Hook and Gaff Watch Company, Bajio Optics, Fishmasks and Flymen Fishing Company.

Went out with Cpt. Jeff's guide Cpt. Gibson. Had an absolute blast. Couldn't recommend this group enough. Put us on some great fish and Cpt. Gibson had a great attitude. You won't be disappointed. First time using Captain Experience's and was very impressed with their communication and responsiveness. Will definitely book with them again.
