Come visit Redfish Reaper Guide Service for an amazing day of fishing on the beautiful and productive waters of Rockport, Texas. Together with Captain James Hinton, you will explore all sorts of fishing grounds from rivers and lakes to inshore waters to spots far off the coast and more, all rich in natural beauty as well as with prized fish species. The captain is a lifelong and cordial angler who knows how to make your trip fun and successful, so join him in Rockport and have a memorable stay on the water!

You will be fishing from a restored 23’ Majek bay boat that can sit up to 4 anglers. It runs on a 200 HP Evinrude engine that can reach a maximum cruising speed of 45 knots. Along with modern GPS technology, the boat allows for a safe and quick trip to the fish. It also uses a wireless trolling motor for a more tactful approach to your prey and is equipped with a livewell.

Some of the lovely species you’ll have the chance to catch include Jack Crevalle, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Ladyfish, Redfish, and more. You can catch them by bottom fishing, spinning, popping, as well as drift fishing, all using light tackle. You’re free to keep all the fish that is allowed if you want to. Otherwise, simply release it back to the water.

Captain James will provide you with all the rods, reels, tackle, and lures, and will also clean and fillet your catch at no extra cost. What you should bring on your trip are just your fishing licenses, food, and drinks.

Come spend a day fishing with Redfish Reaper Guide Service and create memories on the water you will cherish for a long time!

Captain James is originally from the Panhandle of Texas, where he raised a family and operated a successful cattle operation for over 30 years. He came to the South Coastal Bend area on an invite to bays fish for a weekend and made several return trips there after. When he was looking to make a life change fishing seemed like a natural fit. In 2019, Captain James made the move to Rockport, Texas. He spent the next year learning the water in and around the area. He also had several veteran fishing guides mentor him as well. Since then Captain James has become a very sought after fishing guide in the area.
