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 - Am

Awesome trip!

VERIFIED
NEW

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!

Great Fishing Adventure

We met Captain Brian at 7am at the fisherman's wharf. The weather was overcast. His boat and equipment were in top notch condition. He took us to various spots to catch redfish and trout. We caught redfish and trout as well as other fish, a bonnet head shark, and some stingrays. While out we encountered a storm system that he was able to navigate around. Overall, my wife and I had a great time. We would book again with Captain Brian. He is super knowledgeable and ensured we had the best experience.

Wow! We caught a lot of fish! Brian is an excellent fisherman and knew where to go and how long to wait for the fish to bite. My three girls had a great time on their first fishing trip! I think they will want to go again in the future! Thanks, Brian!!
