About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Tom and get ready for an action-packed day of fishing around Rockport!

Captain Tom will help you target Redfish, Black Drum, and Speckled Trout. You have the choice of fishing with live or dead bait but can always fish with artificial lures if you’re up for the challenge.

For these trips, Captain Tom uses his 21’ Shoalwater that’s powered by a 250 Evinrude engine. The boat is equipped with a GPS and fishfinder unit along with all the safety gear you’ll need for a safe and productive trip. Expect a smooth, comfortable, and dry ride to the fishing grounds.

These trips can host up to 4 people, so make sure you bring some good company! Captain Tom will provide all rods, reels, and tackle. He even provides live bait. All you need to bring is a valid Texas Fishing License, any drinks and snacks you’d like (preferably no glass), and Captain Tom will take care of the rest!

I thought the trip was terrible, we did more boat riding than actual fishing, not only that we fished with dead bait for the last 1/2 of the trip. You are not going to catch a good fish with dead bait in most cases, it was a wasted fishing trip, I have been with much better fishing guides many other times. The guide fishing trip was very disappointing plus our fishing guide got sick...

Response from Captain Experiences:

Hi David, I'm so sorry to hear that this trip was cut short and did not meet your expectations. We did reach out to Captain Tom and it sounds like the trip was cut short for a medical emergency he was having. We have given you a refund to compensate for the trip ending early and have also extended a discount for your next booking. We look forward to hearing back from you!
