About Your Trip

Captain Michael is an expert fisherman who loves nothing more than to help others catch Redfish, Trout, Black Drum, and Flounder for an amazing day out on Texas' Coastal Bend! His main fishing spots are in Aransas, Copano, St. Charles, Carlos, Mesquite, Ayres, and San Antonio Bays, and he's happy to pick you up from almost anywhere.

Captain Michael's boat is a 23' Crestliner with a Mercury XS 150 motor that provides a comfortable and speedy ride out to catch fish. This boat can go into shallow water and is great for catching Redfish. It also has a trolling motor, and a spacious front fishing deck. The boat can accommodate up to four guests.

When it comes to fishing, Captain Michael likes to use live bait, cut bait, and some artificial lures to target these inshore fish with great success. He will provide everything from rods, reels, tackle, bait, to cleaning your catch so that you can focus on enjoying your day out on the water. All you need to bring is a cooler with your favorite snacks/drinks, a camera to capture the moment, and your Texas Fishing license.

Join Captain Michael for an unforgettable day of fishing and let him take care of the rest!

Though he spent the majority of his career working on the rigs (which allowed him to guide trips on his weeks of leave) he recently switched to guiding trips full-time. His true calling of sharing his extensive knowledge of fish habits and putting smiles on clients faces was much more important to him! These days, that's exactly what he does! And he's really good at it!

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
