We’ll head straight for some of Port A’s best shallow water flats and marshes, searching mostly clear water for redfish on the prowl.

About Your Trip

This is your chance to get at some prime Texas coast fishing!

Our trips start out all around the Port Aransas area, with flexible launch points both on the Island and the Aransas pass side. We’ll head straight for some of Port A’s best shallow water flats and marshes, searching mostly clear water for redfish on the prowl. In good conditions you’ll find them belly crawling with backs out of the water, or in large schools with tails waving back and forth above the surface.

We're running a 2009 Beavertail BTX, one of the more notorious models with a hull designed by the legendary Chris Morejohn, so you know you’ll be on a stable skiff meant to pole straight, silent, and stable. We have both artificial light tackle and fly fishing gear for those feeling more adventurous.

I will do my best to accommodate preferences for start time, fishing locations, or anything else.

Hi, my name is Chandler and I'm the USCG licensed Captain. I'm a lifelong fisherman, growing up around Texas and spending summers fishing the Ozarks in Missouri. I've had the privilege of fish all over the country. From the cliffside reefs of Oahu, to the dark stained waters of the Everglades, nothing gets my heart racing like the shallow marshes and flats of the Texas coast.

Hi, my name is Chandler and I'm the USCG licensed Captain. I'm a lifelong fisherman, growing up around Texas and spending summers fishing the Ozarks in Missouri. I've had the privilege of fish all over the country. From the cliffside reefs of Oahu, to the dark stained waters of the Everglades, nothing gets my heart racing like the shallow marshes and flats of the Texas coast. The only thing I find as exciting as a day out on the water, is one where I get to share my passion with others.

Weather you're brand new to fishing or a seasoned angler looking for something special, we have a trip for you!

Had a great time on a guided fly fishing trip in Port A with Chandler. It was a windy day, which made casting and poling the skiff a bit challenging, but Chandler stayed positive and was super helpful. I didn’t catch any fish this time, but he gave me great tips to improve my casting. The skiff didn’t have a seat, so I sat on the floor which is totally fine for me solo but...

Had a great time on a guided fly fishing trip in Port A with Chandler. It was a windy day, which made casting and poling the skiff a bit challenging, but Chandler stayed positive and was super helpful. I didn’t catch any fish this time, but he gave me great tips to improve my casting. The skiff didn’t have a seat, so I sat on the floor which is totally fine for me solo but something to consider if you’re going with someone else or need more comfort. Overall, a good experience and I’d definitely book with him again!

Response from Chandler:
Thanks for the kind words Jana! I’m glad you had a good time! The skiff does have a bench seat that can accommodate at least one more person next to the captain and I’m sorry if I didn’t make that known in the beginning of the trip. Looking forward to next time!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports 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, 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.
