There's a fish with your name on it in Port Aransas and Fillabite Guide Service will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Randy knows them forwards and back.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Redfish, and plenty more.

You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites!

You'll find yourself aboard a 23' Bay boat with capacity for 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

You might need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Fillabite Guide Service and get hooked!

Tough day on the water
Extended Full Day Trip on September 20, 20252 adults

Captain Randy had to work hard to find the fish today. No wind and water that looked like glass meant the Red bite was off. He finialy suggested we move to trout and we managed to limit out on trout with one lone red fish. The captain never gave up and we ended the trip with fish in the cooler and a great day on the water. I highly recommend Captian Randy Fillabite he will do his absolute best to get you on fish.
