Out of the beautiful Port Aransas in Texas, Port Aransas Guide Service and Captain Brian Cibulka offer a wide range of fishing trips. From inshore, nearshore, and offshore spots, to wreck and flats fishing, you’ll definitely find your perfect trip. What’s special about this charter is that you can also have custom excursions including sightseeing and wakeboarding.
 
Come aboard a fully equipped 23’ Parker center console powered by a 225 HP Yamaha four stroke engine. The boat takes up to 4 guests and there’s plenty of space for the whole family. She’s got a full navigation system, outriggers, downriggers, snorkeling and spearfishing equipment, as well as a wireless trolling motor, livewell, and ice-box.  There’s even a private toilet. Captain Brian always strives to create a family atmosphere on the boat, so feel free to bring your kids as well.

Some of the fish you’ll meet include Red Snapper, Red Drum, Snook, Sheepshead, and Mahi Mahi. The choice of techniques you’ll use is huge: trolling, spinning, jigging, popping, as well as bottom, deep sea, fly, drift fishing, and spearfishing. While Captain Brian encourages releasing fish back to the water, you’re also allowed to keep it. And for a few extra bucks, he’ll clean it and fillet it for you.

You’re covered for all the gear. Penn tackle, lures, and live bait are all included in the price. Pack whatever snacks and drink you want, bring your licenses, and you’re totally set to go.

Book a trip at Port Aransas Guide Service and have some superb time on the water.

5 Hour Inshore Trip

Awesome trip!

VERIFIED

Our group of 3 went fishing with Captain Brian recently, including 2 beginners who had never been fishing on a boat before. Capt. Brian was patient, knowledgeable, and provided a great trip. He is also conservation-minded, which we appreciated (for example, releasing fish that nobody was going to eat, like a kingfish we caught). The boat was clean and spacious. We had plenty of room for our group, but larger groups would also fit well. Many other charters I looked at had smaller boats with low sides that wouldn’t be able to accommodate more than 4 anglers comfortably. Capt. Brian’s vessel is perfect for kids and people who may not have much experience on boats, which was important to us for both safety and comfort. Speaking of safety, Capt. Brian kept us safe when an unexpected storm rolled in, expertly navigating us away from the storm. Though we had to cut the trip a little short because the weather conditions deteriorated too much, we had an awesome trip and we all caught fish. Everyone got to take a redfish home for dinner. The Fisherman’s Wharf also provides fish cleaning services right at the dock, which was super convenient. Would definitely recommend booking with Capt. Brian!

Captain Brian was a tireless, knowledgeable, and personable guide who made our trip unforgettable! Even when the bite was slow, he never stopped working — constantly making adjustments until we were onto giant fish. The trip ended with all four of us hooking into bull reds within five minutes — what an absolute blast! Highly recommend Captain Brian for anyone looking for an exciting and professional fishing experience.

The conditions were not perfect. Windy and choppy. However Captain Brian got us on fish. We slammed a bunch of reds. We brought a group of teenager boys. Our captain made them feel safe and kept us energised for the entire trip. The boat was big enough and strurdy with a high hull so walking around the console fighting fish was seamless. Great day on the water 👍👍👍

We had a fantastic day on the water with Capt. Brian! Conditions weren’t ideal, but he never gave up—he worked hard to put us on fish, and it paid off. While other boats came back empty, we went home with fish in the cooler. His professionalism and knowledge of the area really stood out. As a native of Port A, he clearly knows these waterways inside and out. Highly recommend booking with Capt. Brian if you want a great fishing trip!
