Welcome

We fish the Texas inshore coast from Port Aransas to Port Isabelle. The Texas Coastal Bend and the southern Texas Gulf coast comprise over 600 square miles of shallow flats with an average depth of 2 to 3 feet that nature designed with the fly and light tackle angler in mind.

Additionally, we fish 7 fresh water lakes. Lake species include bass, stripers, crappie, reds and white perch.

During your Texas saltwater fishing or fresh water trip, you will be in the capable hands of Captain Tom. A USCG captain, he holds a Masters license, with various endorsements. His more than 50 years of experience fishing and boating, from New England to Florida and the Gulf, is dedicated to your safety, comfort and enjoyment.

South Texas, with its’ extremely mild winters offers anglers year round access to most species. However, as we all know, nature runs in cycles. while most anglers can encounter “personal best” fish of most species at any time - the likelihood of record class fish fall into windows that vary somewhat for different species. tackle and methods vary at different times of the year as well.

Contact me if you have specific goals in mind and I will try to advise you accordingly.
