There's a fish with your name on it in Port Aransas and Affordable Guide Service will help you catch it! With Captain Alex at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Fishing around here will often see you targeting Black Drum, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Sheepshead, and more, depending on conditions.

During the trip you might be spinning, popping, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. You're welcome to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

You'll find yourself aboard a 23' Bay boat with space for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials.

Capt. Alex will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, it may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

You could keep reading this, but wouldn't you rather be fishing with Affordable Guide Service?

Great Morning Bay Fishing Trip
5 Hour Trip on July 30, 20252 adults1 child
My son in law, 8 year old grandson and I fished a morning bay fishing trip with Capt. Alex. The pre trip communication was excellent, the boat easy to find in the marina (look for the green lights!), and Alex worked hard all morning to put us in position to catch fish. We limited out on speckled trout and caught and a released a number of fish outside the slot. Redfish were not biting as well but Alex kept us moving until my grandson caught his first big redfish. He was pumped. Alex spent a lot of time teaching him how to fish. Overall the perfect trip. Highly recommend fishing with Alex.
Reported catch:
Redfish
Spotted Seatrout

Had an unforgettable time despite the fish challenging our patience. The captain's instinct to know when to move and when to hold steady was spot on, allowing the fish to come to us. The boat was just the right size for our trio, with the potential to welcome more anglers. Uplifting music filled the air, setting a perfect vibe, and even a light rain shower couldn’t dampen our spirits. This is a journey I’m eager to embark on again. Don't hesitate to reach out on this app its easy and to the point.

Captain Alex is the way to go
5 Hour Trip on April 10, 20261 adult
Alex helped me get my limit in Redfish, a Trout and said he knew we could get flounder in a spot and it happened. Will be back and fish with Captain Alex again.
