About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Brian to explore the Coastal Bend waters with a seasoned professional. Captain Brian guides in the Ingleside, Aransas Pass, Rockport, Port Aransas, and Corpus Christi areas. He is especially adept at fishing the Corpus Christi Bay, Nueces Bay, Aransas Bay, and Redfish Bay. On your trip, your main focus will be Spotted Sea Trout, Redfish Drum, Flounder and Black Drum.

No matter what kind of bay fish you want to chase, his 23' Haynie Bigfoot will get you there in style. Captain Brian offers full-day fishing trips for up to 5 adults. Kids are always welcome to fish with you and can occasionally be included as a 6th guest if they are small enough (~12 or younger). These full-day trips with Captain Brain start at 6 am and run until you either catch your limit or it gets to be about 12-1pm. Time is not as much of a constraint for Captain Brian, he just wants you to have a great time!

Captain Brian will provide all the rods, reels, tackle, bait, and expertise you could possibly need for a fantastic day out on the water. That way all you'll need to bring is your sun protection, your favorite snacks and drinks, and your Texas fishing license. Captain Brian will take care of the rest!

Brian's charter is a full-service outfitter. They are located in South Texas near Aransas Pass and Rockport and a short ferry ride from Port Aransas and maybe a 20-minute drive from Corpus Christi. Captain Brian likes to think they are smack dab in the middle of heaven! Captain Brian started professionally guiding right out of college 1991 in Gilchrist, Texas. He moved to the Coastal Bend in 1993, and began his guide service and taxidermy business.

Captain Brian also runs Cast and Blast trips when duck season is in. Give us a call for pricing on these epic adventures whacking quackers and slaying giant reds all in the same morning!

Wonderful experience! I purchased a 4-hour fishing trip for father’s day for my husband and it was amazing! Had a scare in the beginning with a change in Captain’s yet worked out perfectly! Capt Brian was phenomenal!! His expertise are unmatched! We learned a lot! Highly recommend Capt Brian and Captain experiences for an excellent fishing experience.

We had an excellent trip w/ Captain Brian. Fishing conditions were very challenging due to the wind. He was able to put us on a few keepers. Brian is an extremely knowledgeable guide and personable as well. We will definitely fish w/ him again.

Captain Brian did an amazing job. We caught the heck out of some trout. Sadly it just wasn’t our day for redfish or black drum. He did a great job at helping our kids learn how to bay fish which is different from bass fishing. He was patient with everyone and super helpful. Highly recommend calling on captain Brian if your interested in a guide and have kiddos.
