Being a father of 4, and a wife who is an avid fisherman I encourage anglers to share with their families the experience of fishing and the memories they will make in doing so. 

Your day will consist of chasing speckled trout, red fish, black drum, and the elusive flounder.  We will fish until your trip ends or you have caught your limit, whichever comes first. 

We fish Corpus Christi Bay, Redfish Bay, Aransas Bay, and South Bay.  I lean heavily on fishing reports and weather reports when considering fishing areas. 

Capt. Brain provides rods, reels, bait, and tackle. You may bring a small cooler for your drinks and snacks.  Alcohol is allowed, drunks are not.  Don't forget your Texas license and something to carry your fillets home in. 

Aggie Guide Service strives for fun! We will make your day on the water a memorable one to share. You only need to set the date!

    Incredible Day!

    Full Day Up to 6 Hrs. on March 11, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Captain Brian was on-time and ready for us. His air boat helped us get to some isolated shallow areas and we were on top of fish all day. We quickly caught our limits and he helped us each step of the way where we wanted it/needed it. Highly recommend!

    Brian is an excellent guide. Conditions changed after we booked the trip but Brian was able to put us on the fish! Limit of reds and trout. Knowledgeable, experienced and relentless guide that is willing to go the extra mile. Please checkout his website if you are on the fence he has some great information and resources! https://www.aggieguideservice.net/

    Bay fishing with Captain Brian

    Full Day Up to 6 Hrs. on July 4, 2020 • 5 adults

    We had a good day in tough changing conditions. Brian did a great job getting us to fish and everyone was happy with their day. The large trout he felt strongly about releasing to maintain the fishery health, something that is good for everyone!

    Captain Brian was excellent! I had my family (boys 12 & 10) on the trip. Brian took the time to not only keep us on the fish but also to educate me and the boys on how to be a better fisherman. Would definitely book again and recommend Brian for a great trip! No pots here!!!!! Scott

I have always enjoyed the outdoors and everything it has to offer. I became a Marine in 1983, right out of high school. It wasn't until I started attending TAMU that my liking for the outdoors grew into an obsession with the outdoors. I graduated in 1991 with a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Biology. I began traveling the different regions in the US, including Alaska to hunt and fish, however, nothing beat the South Texas tug of a Redfish in knee-deep water or the shaking pull of a Trout. As a result, I moved to Rockport in 1993. I got married in 1994, and we now have 4 awesome kids, 1 Marine, 2 Aggies, and our bonus baby who just turned 12. Life is good!
