Your Guide
Meet Captain Mike
"I've fished these bays my whole life. Putting someone on their first redfish, or watching a family have a day they'll talk about for years, never gets old."
Captain Mike grew up in Rockport and has spent 20 years learning the grass flats, oyster reefs, and tidal drains of Aransas, Redfish, Copano, and Mesquite Bays. He holds a USCG captain's license and knows these waters about as well as anyone.
Trips run from early morning action to sunset cruises. Bait, tackle, licenses, and fish cleaning are all covered. Bring yourself and however many people you want to bring.

What Our Guests Say
A few words from people who've been out on the water with Captain Mike.
“Caught our limits on speckled trout before 9 AM. Captain Mike knew exactly where they were holding before we even left the dock. We'll be back.”
Brian T.
Half-Day Bay
“Brought my two boys out for their first time on the water. Both of them were reeling in fish within the first hour. My youngest is already asking when we can go again.”
Sarah K.
Half-Day Bay
“We've done a lot of charters out of the Coastal Bend. This was our favorite. Captain Mike told us exactly what was biting and what rig to use before we left the marina.”
Dave & Lisa R.
Full-Day Nearshore
“Came for the scenery and ended up catching more fish than we expected. The bay at sunset was something else. Do the evening trip if you get the chance.”
Jennifer M.
Sunset Bay Cruise
“Six of us came down for a bachelor party trip. Cooler was full by noon. Spent the rest of the afternoon just enjoying being out there. Captain Mike made the whole day.”
Marcus L.
Full-Day Nearshore
“Second trip with Captain Mike this year. First time we limited out on redfish. This time was even better. He just knows where the fish are.”
