When you want to be a part of the amazing Texas inshore fishing scene, take a trip with Shallow Water Safaris! Captain Alan has been a guide for over 30 years and gained a lifelong experience around the waters of Rockport, Port O’Connor, and Port Aransas. With him by your side you’ll easily get in the fishing mode (if not already) and seize the day to the fullest.
You’ll be fishing on a 17’ Maverick boat that is powered by a 90 HP Yamaha engine. Providing a stable and cozy ride, this boat is also equipped with the latest navigational electronics and a cooler. With a capacity for only two guests, you’ll have the captain’s almost undivided attention. The advantage of having small groups on the boat means that it will be easier to meet every angler’s needs and customize the trip.
The Big Three of the Texas inshore scene are Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, and Black Drum, but it doesn’t end there. You can also go after Sheepshead, Snook, Tarpon, and Jack Crevalle. You’ll either go after them with light tackle with artificial bait, or use the advanced technique of fly fishing. Either way, the captain will cover your equipment and let you keep the catch.
All equipment and catch cleaning are included in the price. You’ll need to purchase a fishing license before the trip. Feel free to bring any type of snacks and drinks you might need and don’t forget sunscreen.
Shallow Water Safaris is waiting to take you for an amazing inshore adventure. You just need to say when.

Half day evening trip on May 1, 2025
Alan was a great captain. He got us out right away, and within 10 mins we was fishing. He said he likes to keep movement at a minimal so we can maximize our fishing time during the trip, and he did just that. This was myself and my pops first fishing trip with a guide, and it was nice bc he had all the gear on deck, all the bait ready to go, only he said we bring are drinks. He was easy going and went above and beyond for us

Captain did a great job taking us to different spots but weather was not cooperating. Captain kept us entertained, had great conversation and we had a great time on the water even though we didn't catch much. Captain is truly committed to making sure the client is happy.

Great day on the water of course never had a bad day on the water. Capt. and boat were exceptional. Was on time and kept moving us around trying to get us on some legal fish. We were not successful today but that is why it is called fishing. Overall great experience with a very knowledgeable Capt. And lots of great conversation.
