About Your Trip

Climb aboard with Captain Aaron and experience the thrill of some seriously top-notch shallow water fishing! Aside from the ship channels, the water is no more than 6’ deep, making it a great fishery for families and novice anglers who would like to avoid choppy waters.

Captain Aaron will guide you to some inshore honey holes and flats that will allow you to try your hand at either bait fishing or sightfishing! The species you can expect to target using this technique are Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and Flounder.
For these trips, Captain Aaron uses his 20' Shallow Sport, which has a crasy shallow draft and sneak into the skinniest of water!

Make sure to bring a valid Texas Fishing License as well as food and drinks of your choice. Other than that, Captain Aaron will provide the rest. He will provide all lures, rods, reels, and tackle. Live bait is included for this trip with the exception of croaker when they are available.

Bring your kids or your angling buddies and head out to a fishing adventure to remember with Captain Aaron!

Captain Aaron was great. He put fish in the boat and knew where to go. Very professional. It was my 8 year Old sons first time fishing. My son loved it so much he made me buy him a Huk shirt just like captain Aaron. Highly recommended Captain Aaron.

We caught fish but had to pay $50 extra for bait. Once the bait ran out we switched to lures and only caught 2 more in 30 minutes so I called the trip 30 minutes early. The worst part was the Captain smoked, blew smoke in our faces, and threw cigarette butts into the bay.

We will have a chat with Captain Aaron to make sure his trip listing is reflective of any additional fees. We never want to put you in a position where you are uncomfortable, and for that I do apologize. We have sent you a coupon for a discount on your next trip...
