Capt. Joes Flounder Ventures
When you go to Texas, Flounder gigging should be at the top of your to-do list! Book a trip with Capt. Joe’s Flounder Ventures for an enjoyable and safe experience that will have you the envy of all your friends.
Capt. Joe has been Flounder gigging for over 2 decades now and loves sharing his passion with others. Gigging under the stars is a magical experience. You don’t need any experience either! As long as you are over 12 years of age, you can come along, learn how to gig, and shoot your own dinner – a very cool feeling.
You’ll head out once it gets dark, so depending on the month this can be as early as 7:30 p.m. or much later, around 8:30 p.m. You’ll fish for 5 hours or until you have caught over 20 fish, whichever comes first. As well as Flounder, you’ll also be able to gig for Black Drum and Sheepshead.
The trip will be on Capt. Joe’s custom built 24’ boat, built in 2018. There is enough room for 6 people on board, with 2 gigging at once. The wireless trolling motor will help you get close enough to the fish without startling them.
All the equipment needed for a successful gigging trip are included in the price. You’ll need to bring along your own food and drink, which can go into the captain’s cooler on the boat. Please buy a license before the trip.
This trip is truly a bucket list experience. Capt. Joe’s Flounder Ventures and the crew are looking forward to welcoming you aboard their custom built boat to have an awesome night Flounder gigging.
The boat can depart from either Conn Brown Harbor in Aransas Pass, TX or Port Aransas Harbor Boat Ramp in Port Aransas, TX.

Flounder Gigging Night Trip
Flounder Gigging
From start to finish, this fishing trip exceeded all expectations. The captain was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly—making everyone feel welcome, whether you were a seasoned angler or picking up a gig for the first time. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and perfectly suited for a night out on the water. We hit the water early, and within the first hour, we were giggling fish! The guides knew all the best spots and shared great tips throughout the night .

We had a great time! My families first time gigging. Trip was early bday gift to my son and he had a blast. Capt gave tips and texhnique to my son. My son got his limit including a door mat almost 25 inches. He got another one about 22 inches. My wife and I got a couple each. Water conditions were hit, some spots great, some a bit murky but Capt Joe kept us moving to get to ideal spots. Overall great trip. Left the dock at 7:30, back shortly after 1am.

Hard working, customer-centric Captain
Captain Joe works hard and is accommodating. He was very communicative. I reached out to him with questions and with some request. He was very prompt in responding and helped us out with our needs. Our group had a hard night fishing with poor conditions, but Cap. Joe kept trying spots, kept trying, and we eventually all went home with fish. I could tell that was important to him. And, we had lots and lots of fun! His language was not near as salty as many other captains, which I appreciated and would make me feel better about taking kids and inviting friends who may not appreciate such language. All in all, you can't go wrong with Captain Joe. I've had family members go out with him, and they share the same. Joe's the one in the Port A area if you want to gig flounders.

Great guide not only…
Great guide not only because he put us on the fish. It is fishing so catching wasn’t expected it’s just nice when it does happen. He was a great guide because he was punctual, professional, and educational. He had good communication the entire time. I’ve done dozens of guided trips, be it hunting or fishing this trip rates up with the best guide services I’ve been on.
