About Your Guide

Jason R.

Captain Jason brings a lifetime of fishing expertise, with an impressive 37 years of fishing experience and 18 years of competitive bass tournament fishing. His journey began fishing in his backyard on Lake Worth, which ignited a deep passion that eventually led him to the art of fly fishing.

Captain Jason's dedication and skill have earned him first-place finishes in numerous tournaments, and many clients catching their first fish or a personal best. He has a passion to teach and share his knowledge with first time anglers to the seasoned angler.

Beyond fishing, Captain Jason is also a private pilot, bringing his love for exploration and adventure to the skies. His faith and Christianity play a vital role in his life, guiding his principles and actions both on and off the water. His multifaceted passions and extensive experience make him an exceptional guide for anyone looking to experience the thrill of fishing.

We are dedicated to fishing conservation. We practice catch and release, and believe that fishing is more than just a pastime—it's a passion, an adventure, and a way to connect with nature. Led by Captain Jason, you'll not only have a memorable trip but also become a steward of the estuary preserving fish populations and habitat for future generations.

How did you get started guiding?

I started out guiding fishing in the Lower Laguna Madre and hunting trips in west Texas about 6 years ago. My passion for fishing has lead me to being a full time fishing guide.

What makes you different from other guides?

To me it is more than just catching fish. Sure we all want to catch the most and biggest fish, but we also like telling the stories. I like to slow down and enjoy mother nature. I want my clients to get the full experience of the adventure.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

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.
