Based out of Rockport, Coastal Guide Service is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Come on aboard with Capt. Chris, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, and fly fishing, based on the species you're targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4 to 8-hour trips, where you'll be fishing for the likes of Redfish, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, and Sheepshead, depending on the specific season and the day's weather.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 25' Dargel boat that can safely take up to 5 anglers. This boat features an ice box and a wireless trolling motor. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you'll need for a productive day on the water.

Please keep in mind you'll need to get a fishing license before the start of the trip. You'll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip. Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with.

The price of your trip also includes complimentary drinks, but you're welcome to bring your own. Please let the captain know if you have any questions or special requests.

Cool dude, cool boat

Half Day Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) on September 14, 2024 • 3 adults

We had a great time with Capt Chris!  My son is going through some health struggles and Chris was very accommodating to make sure he had a good time. We went after what my kid wanted to catch, and Chris had him hooked up within 30 minutes of hitting the water lol.  

Also, awesome boat!  Probably the nicest guide boat I have ever been on.  If Chris told me he brought the boat straight from the showroom I would not have questioned him. 

We are going to return for duck hunting when it gets colder hopefully!

Happy Birthday to my loving wife

Half Day Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) on June 8, 2024

Chris met us early on Saturday morning. We all watched the sun come up. Beautiful day. The day started with a nice boat ride out to the stop. Catch a few fish but pushed on to several other places. Chris told me that after 10 am the fish come alive. He was right. In less than 30 minutes we caught another 10 Drum. Total catch by 10:30 am 12 Drum and 1 Red. That’s not counting the ones we had to through back. Thanks Chris for making my birthday the best ever. Highly recommend for a great time.

Slamming the Redfish!!

Half Day Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) on November 2, 2024 • 3 adults

Chris expertly put is in a position to limit out on Reds to include a 34 whopper and a few others that were tournament worthy fish!

Could not have asked for a better day on the water; the rain before sunrise made no matter. Being back in the flats hitting the fish with the ducks flying over head made our trip with Captin Chris perfect. Can wait to do it again!

Amazing 4 hours of great fishing

Half Day Trip – Bay Fishing (PM) on March 13, 2023 • 2 adults

Had an amazing time. Chris with Coastal Guide Service put us on the fish. My son and I couldn’t reel them in fast enough. We didn’t expect much at all as the weather was less then ideal but Chris not only knew how to navigate around the conditions, he made it the best trip we have ever had. We didn’t just find our  forever go to guide, we made a great friend. Chris isn’t only an extremely knowledgeable fisherman, he is an all around great guy who made us feel comfortable from the start.

So much fun!

Half Day Trip – Bay Fishing (PM) on October 26, 2022 • 5 adults

Wow, we had so much fun with Capt. Chris Pace of Coastal Guide Service yesterday. Our group of three caught lady fish, spotted trouts, cat fish, and a bunch of red and black drums. Chris knew his territory and we caught something at every spot he hit. Consider chartering the four hour evening trip starting at 3:30 pm (a huge plus if you don’t want to get up early to catch the morning fish run). We had a beautiful sunset that was the background of us constantly reeling in fish. We are relatively experienced anglers whom have taken many chartered fishing excursions in the past. This excursion is by far one of the best experience that we’ve ever had. Thank you Capt. Chris Pace for your patience and knowledge, and giving us a lifetime worth of wonderful memories. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND Coastal Guide Service. Five stars for sure. Cheers and good fishing! -Tony Senser, Art Zamorano, Al Federico, Oct. 26th, 2022.
