CCC Guide Service invites you to experience just how great inshore fishing out of Rockport, Texas can be. Captain Cody Coulston is very flexible depending on what his guests want from their fishing experience, as well as weather, tide, and wind predictions. He caters to all family sizes and will do his best to ensure you have a memorable time on the water.

You’ll be fishing from his 25’ Haynie Bigfoot that’s powered by a 250 Mercury engine. The boat is equipped with a GPS and fishfinder unit along with all the safety gear you’ll need for a safe and productive trip.

Of course, if you’d rather wade than fish out of the boat, Capt. Cody is happy to provide. On a regular trip, you’re looking at Redfish, Black Drum, and Speckled Trout as your main targets for the day. You’ll typically fish with either live or dead bait unless you want to take on the challenge of catching fish with artificial lures.

Capt. Cody will provide you with everything you need for a productive day on the water, except a fishing license, which you’ll need to bring with you. It’s also a good idea to have a pair of polarized sunglasses and some sunscreen on you, along with any drinks and snacks you’d like to have during the trip. Come on down and make some memories with CCC Guide Service!

    Successful first fishing trip for our Son

    6 Hour Trip on June 22, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Communication was great, we rescheduled due to weather. Family fishing trip. We were put fish early and learned alot about the hobby in the area. My son was away from electronics all day and in this day and age that is worth it on its own. Cody did a great job including him on all the action, and made time for a couple extra special moments. Will book again when we are ready to adventure back out. Highly appreciated the extra effort to find us some reds at the end! I also thoroughly enjoyed nature watching throughout!

    Great trip

    6 Hour Trip on October 17, 2026 • 4 adults

    First day of a cold front with heavy wind making it hard to pinpoint the fish, but we kept moving to try and find them and ended up getting 4 slot reds and 1 over slot and who knows how many hard heads. All in all a good trip, Cody is very helpful and knowledgeable, and kept us moving spots until we could get on some reds

    Limited Out

    6 Hour Trip on October 13, 2026 • 3 adults

    Cody was so amazing as a guide. No ot only did we limit out on reds, he taught my daughters different things like how to get hardheads off your hook and prep the fish for filleting. The weather was perfect and we had a great time even catching reds too small. Thank you again Cody!

    Awesome Guide Service!!

    6 Hour Trip on June 3, 2026 • 2 adults

    My wife and I have been out with many different guides services. But Captain Cody is the best. He is very knowledgeable, down to earth, and very polite. He put us on fish right away. We limited out on trout in 15 minutes and caught red fish. We would have gotten our limit on reds if the thunderstorms hadn’t run us off the water. We will definitely be booking another trip with him! I highly recommend him!

    Amazing Guide

    6 Hour Trip on July 6, 2026 • 5 adults

    Had an awesome inshore fishing trip today! We limited out on speckled trout and had a great time from start to finish. Our guide was a great guy—knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we stayed on the fish. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great fishing trip, and I’ll absolutely be booking with him again in the future. Thanks again for a great day on the water!

    A great day of fishing.

    6 Hour Trip on June 18, 2026 • 5 adults

    We had a blast fishing with Captain Cody of CCC Guide Service. He was super helpful in providing tips for a couple of first time anglers. Everyone in our group caught fish which included speckled trout, red fish, gafftop catfish, and a skipjack. Capitan Cody was super attentive and personable. I will recommend CCC Guide Service and will book trips with them in the future.

    Patience is key

    6 Hour Trip on July 10, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    day started slow, but a great guide knows how to turn a day around. Pops stabbed a 25” Trout first thing, then my niece caught a 27” red racing a storm front coming our way. 4 man limit and 1-2 shy of a full limit of trout for 5. anchored by a great red fish. Capt Cody is the way to go!

My grandfather was a fishing guide for 30 years along the coastal bend and had fished it for 40 years. He took me fishing all the time and I loved it. After he retired I acquired my captain's license and decided to teach people how to fish the same way my grandpa had taught me. I enjoy croaker fishing for Trout just because it's much tougher than the other types of fishing we do in the bay. Catching Redfish on dead bait is my second favorite type of fishing just because even rat Reds put up a massive fight!
