Hines Guide Service
Hines Guide Service
Hines Guide Service is a professional charter fishing service based in the Rockport-Fulton, Texas area. Join Captain Kim who's been guiding fishing trips on these waters for almost 30 years.
He has plenty of trophies under his belt and lots of experience to share. A guide like this is equally valuable to someone who's fishing for the first time, as well as to the angler who's looking to perfect their skills.
You'll be fishing aboard a 23' Haynie boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. The boat is powered by a 200 HP Suzuki engine and features a live bait tank and a cooler. This center console provides a safe, smooth, and comfy ride from start to finish.
You'll mainly target Speckled Trout and Redfish on light tackle. Kids ages 7 and up are also welcome to join. While all boat trips welcome novices, Capt. Kim also offers something that's reserved just for experienced folks – wading trips. Let him know if this is your preferred way of fishing, bring your wading gear, and head out on an adventure on foot.
When it comes to rods, reels, and lures, everything is covered by Capt. Kim. He'll also clean your catch after the trip, so you can enjoy a delicious meal afterward. Make sure to bring your fishing license and prepare some snacks and drinks for the day.
Hines Guide Service welcomes you aboard for the fishing adventure you've always wanted!

Steve Gambaro5.0VerifiedCaptain Kim saved the trip!
5 Hour Trip on July 30, 2026 • 2 adultsMy grandson and I were half the way to Rockport, when our originally scheduled trip got cancelld because of boat problems. My son found Kim and he was available. He was straight forward as to what was biting and what was not. He was very good with my grandson teaching him the fishing technique. We had a great time. My grandson did all of the catching while I did all of the fishing. It was a great trip, and my grandson will never let me forget it. When we come back again, we will fish with Kim.

Capt Hines
5 Hour Trip on June 14, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 childCapt Hines is a very great fishing guide. My 12 year Son and I used Capt Hines services in June. We both maxed out on trout! Capt Hines is a perfect example of a fishing guide, he’s been a fishing and hunting guide for many years. He taught me a lot and he was very kind. My Son and I will always remember catching 6 nice trout with Capt Hines
