Let Captain Alex Cruz be your guide to some of the top fishing locations on Texas’ long, beautiful Gulf Coast. He’s based out of Port Aransas, but he fishes all the water in the Coastal Bend from Aransas Pass down to Corpus Chisti Bay. From beginners to seasoned anglers, everybody is welcome to join this adventure!

You’ll be fishing on a 23’ Majek illusion that accommodates up to 4 guests. This bay boat is powered by a 200 HP Suzuki engine that reaches the speed of 40 knots. The boat features navigational electronics, safety gear, and a live bait tank. Enjoy the ride as you’re reaching bountiful fishing spots.

Captain Alex specializes in rod and reel techniques for catching Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Black Drum, and Flounder. There’s a variety of fishing techniques to try out, and it all depends on how much you want to challenge yourself and what you want to catch. Always expect the unexpected, as you never know what’s going to bite.

Your guide will provide all the equipment and bait you’ll need for the ideal inshore fishing adventure. You get to keep the catch and Capt. Alex is going to clean and fillet it for you free of charge. You only need to pack your fishing license, some snacks, and drinks.

Start your inshore adventure with Captain Alex and get those tasty trophies for lunch!
