Chasing the Inshore Slam along the Texas coast is more than just a day of fishing—it’s a rite of passage. Join Captain Wesley for a hands-on, salt-soaked adventure across some of the most productive waters in the Port Aransas and Rockport area. You'll launch into the morning mist from 900 Tarpon Street (or a nearby ramp that fits your needs), with a cup of coffee in one hand and the anticipation of that first cast...

About Your Trip

Chasing the Inshore Slam along the Texas coast is more than just a day of fishing—it’s a rite of passage. Join Captain Wesley for a hands-on, salt-soaked adventure across some of the most productive waters in the Port Aransas and Rockport area. You'll launch into the morning mist from 900 Tarpon Street (or a nearby ramp that fits your needs), with a cup of coffee in one hand and the anticipation of that first cast in the other.

This 20' Haynie center console is perfectly built for slicing across skinny water, hugging oyster-studded shorelines, and maneuvering through maze-like flats. Whether you're dialing in on Speckled Trout as the sun climbs over Aransas Bay, stalking tailing Redfish in Estes Flats, or dropping baits for hefty Black Drum near Lighthouse Lakes Park, Captain Wesley knows exactly where to be and when. Come winter or summer, his local knowledge and finesse with light tackle, live bait, and artificial lures keeps rods bent and spirits high.

You’ll be fishing with top-quality gear and techniques tailored to your crew’s experience level, from beginners looking to hook their first Redfish to seasoned anglers chasing the elusive slam. With room for up to four people, this trip is as perfect for small groups of friends as it is for family outings. Expect an easygoing but dialed-in atmosphere, the kind of trip where time slows down and the day builds a rhythm of cast, hookset, and grin.

From the moment you step aboard to the last fillet hitting your cooler, this trip is built around good vibes, tight lines, and unforgettable moments. Bring your snacks, sunscreen, and maybe a couple of cold ones—but leave the rest to Captain Wesley.

Wonderful half day trip with Captain Wesley. He put us on redfish right away and I couldn’t have asked for a better time.

We had a large party so Captain Wesley recruited Captain David to help us out. They were both very nice and accommodative. One boat limited out on redfish and the other caught four keepers! Everyone had a good time. Overall great experience. Looking forward to the next trip.
