About Your Trip

Come fish with Captain Tommy, a Full Time USCG licensed Texas fishing guide, as you venture into the waters such as Aransas Bay, Redfish Bay, Copano Bay, and Mesquite Bay just to name a few.

You will target redfish and black drum in the flats as well as the marsh of St Joseph Island. Captain Tommy runs a 22' Alweld Bay Boat with a brand new 2022 150 hp Yamaha 4 stroke outboard jet drive. This means no propeller. Captain Tommy is sea grass friendly and you will be fishing water so shallow that other boats can't fish. So c'mon enjoy !!

With an annual mean temperature of 71.1 degrees, almost everyday is a good day for fishing in Rockport Texas. Rockport also boasts an average of 288 sun-filled and rain-free days, and winter-time temperatures commonly in the 70s and 80s. This mild climate makes for comfortable Texas saltwater fishing all year round.

Rockport Texas has some of the finest fishing to offer on the Texas Gulf Coast. Areas such as California Hole, Turtle Pen, Allens Bight, Lydia Ann Channel, Light House Lakes, Mud Island, and Estes Flats make this stretch of the Texas Coast a "must-fish" location for any saltwater angler.

Captain Tommy will provide all the necessary gear for your trip including live bait when needed. Bring your favorite snacks and drinks, your Texas Saltwater fishing license and some good company!

Tommy had us laughing and had great stories the whole time. After we got back, Tommy cut the fish the way we wanted. This was a great fishing trip and we would recommend this trip to others!!

Tommy was excellent! For the July 4th weekend, he worked hard to fill the cooler.
Started catching under size and he wasn’t satisfied. Moved and started sight fishing and slayed them. We ended up with a cooler full of keepers plus twice as many landed. Tommy spent a lot of time teaching and showing us how to spot the schools of drum while sight fishing. Great conversation and

Captain Tommy was very courteous and respectful to our group. He took time to explain the do’s and don’ts of catching red fish to our grandson and let him interact in catching and netting the fish. His equipment was in very good shape and said he would put us on the fish and he did. He had a special bait that caught fish when the people around us had a very hard time doing so....

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.
