About Your Trip

Climb aboard with Captain Scott for an action packed adventure and the full experience of Texas charm in Rockport! The Trout are hopping down in Texas Bay, and Captain Scott can help you find them using his 23’ Haynie, which comfortably fits up to 4 people. Expert guidance through the shallows and a mastery of multiple techniques make Captain Scott an artist in the fishing industry, and he can’t wait for you to have the fishing trip of a lifetime.

In addition to the delicious and crafty Spotted Seatrout, the bountiful waters of Texas Bay are filled with Black Drum, Flounder, and Redfish, all of which Captain Scott knows how to catch using his arsenal of techniques. Whether it be using artificial lures or live bait, Captain Scott knows what he’s doing. On this trip he can help you develop your technique in drift fishing, sight casting, wading, and fly fishing. Whatever skills you want to work on, he can help. Fishing is not nearly as simple as throwing a hook in the water and waiting—it is a difficult sport that requires tremendous skill. Captain Scott understands this and acts as an instructor, while also learning from his adventurers. If you are looking to hone your fishing skills with a master of the sport, no matter what your level of experience is, this is the trip for you.

An amazing benefit of this trip is that Captain Scott provides everything you need on your voyage, including rods, tackle, and bait. All you need to bring is snacks and excitement for an incredible adventure and learning opportunity.

Captain Scott is all about finding fish, and big ones at that. He feels an ethical responsibility to respect the integrity of fishing, which to him means keeping his vessel and equipment in peak condition. His passion for fishing extends beyond himself, and he is committed to sharing his knowledge through guided tours, explanatory videos, seminars, and face-to-face communication. Scott also duck hunts during the colder months, and loves a good cast and blast.
