About Your Trip

Captain Brent operates out of two different boats. A 23’ outboard jet boat and a 22’ Panther airboat. Depending upon which boat he thinks is best for you along with the days fishing conditions, or which boat you choose, is the one you will be fishing from. Rest assured you will have a dry, safe, and comfortable ride while on your fishing trips in the coastal bays of Texas. All boats meet US Coast Guard standards, carry USCG approved life vests, GPS, cellular phone and a medical kit. We provide a percentage of live bait, tackle, rods, lures, fish cleaning, and packaging of your catch. Bring a cooler to take them home in. During the summer months, fishing trips while using live croaker or piggie perch, you will be required to pay for bait costs if you choose to have them as you're preferred bait.

Brent did a great job for our group of 6. It was a large crowd, but he had a great set up for us and we enjoyed getting to know him. Brent is easy to talk to and made our experience very memorable. We caught a lot of fish and will be back soon! Thanks for the trip! The Captain Experiences website was super easy. This was our first experience...

Brent was the real deal. It put us on the fish and we made our limit by 8am and was able to just catch and release the rest of the morning. He is very knowledgeable about the best fishing holes. We got to see dolphins, stingrays, and turtles and he was a wealth of knowledge. I strongly recommend Brent and I hear is hunting/fishing combo is to die for. Can’t go wrong here!
