Jellybean Guide Service invites you on a day of awesome fishing out of Rockport together with Captain Toby Smith. He’s been fishing these waters since he was a kid, with his father as the guide. He specializes in bay fishing, so whatever your age or skill level, you’re in for a trip to remember.

His boat is a 22’ Majek bay boat that runs on a powerful 225 HP Yamaha V6 outboard engine. There’s enough room here for up to 4 anglers, so it’s perfect if you’re looking to have a good time together with your family. With all the necessary safety gear and navigation electronics on board, you can look forward to a safe and productive trip.

Of course, the main thing you need for a productive trip is a lot of fish, and these waters can provide just that! It’s an inshore paradise where you’ll be going after the likes of Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, and more. You never really know what you’ll find on the end of your line!

All the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need are included in the trip price. Not only that, but Capt. Toby will clean and bag your catch as well as offer a few suggestions on how to cook them. You’ll need to bring a valid fishing license with you, along with any drinks and snacks you’d like to have for the day. Come on down to Rockport and get some quality fishing done with Jellybean Guide Service!

What a GREAT guy!!!

VERIFIED
NEW

This was my wife’s first fishing trip on the water and I couldn’t be more pleased with how it went. Fish were few and far between from the recent weather, but that didn’t stop Toby from trying to make everything count. His way of interacting is nothing short from outstanding. We leaned so much about his family, especially his sweet granddaughter, that melted my wife’s heart as well as new fishing techniques that we will continue to use. This man is the best angler, friend and teacher anyone could learn a thing or two from. WE WILL be rebooking in the near future to spend more time with the famous Jellybean! Thanks again for everything!

Half Day Trip

Jellybean is the best!

VERIFIED

We had the best time with Toby aka Jellybean. We limited out within 20 minutes of speckled trout since they were in season. The redfish on the other hand were a bit trickier but he did all he could do to find a spot. If you aren’t familiar with fishing then you should know that some days you are on and some days you aren’t. I have grown up fishing and was extremely happy that we limited within 20 minutes on the speckled trout after being on the water. Captain Toby tried to find spots for redfish several times but we couldn’t find a spot but the conversation and the unexpected dolphin show was amazing. We have already planned to book another trip with Jellybean!!

Captain Toby gives his all!

VERIFIED

Highly recommend Captain Toby! His heart is in helping you find the fish! He does not give up! While we didn't reel in a huge number of fish, it was not due to Captain Toby not giving it his all to put us on the fish. His heart was in it the entire time...and he even went past our "time" to try and give us more than we had. While he may have been disappointed, we were not! Enjoyed every minute and will come back again!
