About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Al for a sight casting adventure on Texas' Coastal Bend. From Rockport down to Port Aransas the shallow back bays and grassy flats offer crystal clear water and piles of local Redfish! These productive waters provide plenty of opportunities to land Black Drum, Sheepshead, and Trout as well!

When it comes to Texas coast fishing, Captain Alan is a sight-casting specialist. Whether you'd like to use light tackle or fly gear
Captain Alan can provide the equipment for both, and always brings a spinning rod along for fly trips as a backup. Captain Scott will show you the best casting techniques and get you set up with the right flies, baits, and lures to make sure you land some fish!

Captain Alan guides out of a 17ft Maverick poling skiff. With a 90 hp Yamaha strapped to the back, Alan can get that puppy cranking up to scary fast speeds! This nimble and speedy boat is ideally suited for bouncing around to different flats and stalking super skinny water that you will find along the Coastal Bend.

Captain Alan will provide all rods, reels, tackle and flies. He will even clean any keepers for you to take home. All you need to bring is a Texas saltwater fishing license. Sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat and any food are drinks you might want out on the water are recommended.

Very bad experience. Boat was filthy and not comfortable at all. All Alan talked about was duck hunting. We talked to a quite a few who were catching all kinds of fish and we had zero bites. We stayed in the same spot for 6 hours. He didn't even try to catch us fish. I will never use this service again as we might as well have gotten someone...

We spent our hard earned money for nothing. No positive experience for this trip at all it was the worst experience we have ever had. He didn't get any tip from us as he didn't deserve one. We should be fully refunded for this pathetic fishing trip.

I have fished since I was seven; I am now seventy. For all those years fishing has been my main hobby.

Alan was the single worst guide I have ever fished with.

His boat was terrible, he never got out of his seat, moved like he was 100 years old and did nothing but talk about everything other than fishing related all day.

We had a great time with Captain Al! Quick and easy meet up and had us fishing in no time. We had lots of fun fishing and chatting. Caught some trout and other fish. We will definitely book again!
