About Your Trip

This is an Artificial Only wade trip. We will leave the launch around 6 am and will return around 12pm. We will be fishing from a 2020 Tournament Edition CCB Grande with updated GPS and fish finder. While fishing we will be targeting Redfish, Flounder, Sea Trout, and Black Drum. I will clean all fish for you after the day of fishing.

I strive for conservation of the local fishery therefore since the 2021 freeze even though regulations have returned to normal, I have a rule of 3 Trout maximum of 15"-20" to be kept. All oversized Trout and Redfish will be Catch, Photo, Release.

I will supply all light tackle rods, reels, and lures needed for you to enjoy your day of fishing. You will NEED to bring your waders/boots.

You will need to wear Sun Protection (Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses). I will provide water and Gatorade. You will need to provide your own snacks. Safety is a priority and there will be a First Aid kit and fire extinguisher on the boat if needed.

Quality

Captain Travis grew up fishing the waters around Port O’Connor. I have a passion for fishing salt water and giving you an experience to remember. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of the water to teach you how to find the fish. I am currently running a 2020 CCB Grande with a Mercury 300 Racing motor. I enjoy fishing in tournaments and like to look for better quality fish rather than large numbers of fish. When...

Very tough day on the water but Travis went all over the bay looking for fish… even after I was pooped 7.5 hours on the water Travis still wanted to keep going… in the end we came home with fish. My girlfriend from Houston had a great time and learned a lot from Travis about bay fishing in texas

Travis is the expert I have been lookin for around Aransas pass for years. Conditions did not play to our favor, yet he still put us on fish. Fountain of knowledge when it comes to targeting and developing a pattern in the flats. I will fish with Travis as long as hes in business 🤙🏼

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.
