About Your Trip

Join Captain Marty for an unforgettable inshore fishing trip departing from Crystal Beach! With years of experience navigating these waters, Captain Marty knows all the best spots to find the fish. He can cater the trip to your skill level and preferences, whether you're looking for a fun family outing or an intense trophy hunting trip.

On this trip, you'll have the chance to target the "Big Three" of Texas inshore fishing: Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder. But don't be surprised if you hook something unexpected! Captain Marty has a few tricks up his sleeve, and the way you'll target these fish may depend on factors like the weather, tides, and other conditions. One of his favorite methods is fishing with live shrimp on popping corks over the bays, shelves, and secret honey holes.

You won't need to worry about bringing any gear – Captain Marty will provide all the Poles, Reels, Tackle, and Live Bait you need for a successful day on the water. Just pack your favorite snacks and drinks, sun protection, and Texas fishing license, and Captain Marty will take care of everything else to ensure your fishing adventure is a success!
