About Your Trip

Step aboard with Captain Ronnie for an unforgettable inshore fishing adventure in the beautiful coastal waters of Port Aransas, Rockport, and Aransas Pass, Texas! With years of experience and a true passion for fishing, Captain Ronnie is dedicated to giving you and your crew a fun, exciting, and memorable day on the water. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or brand new to fishing, Captain Ronnie knows how to tailor every trip to ensure you have the best experience possible.

You’ll be fishing aboard Captain Ronnie’s sleek 21’ Haynie flats boat, a vessel perfectly designed for navigating the shallow bays and flats of the Texas coast. Powered by a 140 HP Suzuki engine, this boat is fast, smooth, and stable, with plenty of room for up to 4 anglers. Equipped with a livewell to keep bait fresh and ready, it’s the ideal platform for targeting some of the area’s most sought-after inshore species.

Captain Ronnie specializes in light tackle fishing and offers a mix of techniques, including bottom fishing and artificial lure fishing. Whether you’re learning the basics of bottom fishing or refining your skills with artificial lures, Captain Ronnie will provide expert guidance to match your experience level. You’ll be targeting Texas inshore favorites like Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Black Drum—prized catches known for their hard fights and excellent table fare. And the best part? You get to keep your catch, with Captain Ronnie cleaning and filleting it for you at the end of the trip, free of charge.

Families are always welcome on Captain Ronnie’s trips! He loves having kids on board and is great at creating a fun and engaging experience for anglers of all ages. Whether you’re introducing your little ones to fishing for the first time or sharing a day on the water with family and friends, Captain Ronnie ensures everyone feels at home and has a great time.

Everything you need to fish is included—rods, reels, terminal tackle, and live bait are all provided. All you need to bring is your fishing license, your favorite food and drinks, and any sun protection you might need (don’t forget a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen!). Once you’re set up, Captain Ronnie will take care of the rest, leaving you free to relax, enjoy the scenery, and focus on reeling in some fish.

From the rich waters of Aransas Pass to the scenic flats of Port Aransas and Rockport, Captain Ronnie’s trips are the perfect way to experience the incredible inshore fishing the Texas Gulf Coast has to offer. With his expertise, friendly personality, and love for the sport, Captain Ronnie is ready to help you make memories that will last a lifetime.
