About Your Trip

Captain Randy will take you boat or wade fishing on some of the most pristine bays in Texas. It doesn't matter if your preference is bait fishing or using artificial lures, Captain Randy is an expert at both. He can also teach you how to properly use your bait and improve your skills to catch bigger fish.

Enjoy Texas Gulf Coast fishing in the saltwater bays and flats surrounding Rockport, Aransas Pass, Port Aransas and Ingleside, Texas with Captain Randy. Fish for Monster-sized redfish, trophy trout, and flounder in Copano, St. Charles, Redfish, Aransas, Mesquite, San Antonio, and South bays.

While redfish and spotted seatrout are the main focus of Captain Randy, it is important to be prepared for anything. It is not uncommon to have opportunities at jack crevalle, black drum, sheepshead, flounder, triple tail, lady fish, spanish and king mackerel, false albacore, sharks, and even tarpon

About Your Guide

Randy S.

Independent Guide 22 years of exp.

Captain Randy specializes in wade and drift fishing with live or artificial baits and wants to make your fishing trip an unforgettable one.

Captain Randy is a full-time professional guide who fishes Texas inshore bays from Rockport to Baffin Bay and specializes in wade and drift fishing for Speckled Trout, Redfish and Flounder using artificial lures or bait. Let Captain Randy guide you across the pristine Texas bays in search of giant tailing redfish and trophy size speckled trout.

All charters are provided with top of the line tackle, a brand new spotless, clean boat, and a knowledgeable, friendly captain. Texas offers world class bay fishing every month of the year and whether you prefer fly fishing, lure fishing or live bait fishing, Texas is the place.

The Texas "big three" species consist of Redfish, Flounder and Speckled Trout. It is not uncommon to catch dozens of these hard fighting fish each trip with a good possibility at scoring what locals label the "Texas Grand Slam", one or more of each species in one day.

Aside from the Texas "big three," there are countless other species to catch so you never know what to expect. Depending on the time of year, you might find Tarpon, Bluefish, Black Drum, Ladyfish, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead, Jack Crevalle or Sharks bending your rod!
