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.

An excellent experience all around. And good with kids.
5 Hour Trip morning on August 10, 20263 adults

Captain Alex is knowledgeable, personable, and humorous. We had a fantastic experience and he made sure that every person was having a good time. We quickly caught our limit on trout. Then he took us to other areas to try for other fish as well which included the traditional "One That Got Away" story and even more to see and learn. The trip was prompted by our son's 13th birthday. And Captain Alex did a great job instructing him and telling some wonderful stories. So I would highlight is a good trip for kids. On top of that the boat is clean and in great shape . The equipment is top-notch. And the biggest surprise was the captain helping us clean the fish and then pointing us just to the other side of the dock for a "you hook em and we cook em" restaurant that was equally friendly and out of this world. It doesn't get fresher and lunch that day was some of the best fish we've ever had, and we caught it! I give Captain Alex and Affordable Charter my highest recommendation.

Alex is Awesome!
5 Hour Trip morning on August 6, 20263 adults

Alex was friendly, funny, and professional. Even with some minor unavoidable boat issues to start the trip he stayed cool and calm and took us on an amazing trip. My wife is NOT a fisherman and she had a wonderful time. He worked directly with her and my daughter all trip to do everything possible to get them on fish. We caught multiple trout, redfish, and mangrove and my wife had a knack for catching catfish. Great day, great trip, and an exceptional guide!

Captain Alex was AWESOME!!
5 Hour Trip morning on July 19, 20262 adults

Captain Alex was amazing and put us on fish! He was attentive to our needs and took the time educate us as to why, what, where, and how! I’ve fished with Bay Fishing guides before, but Captain Alex worked harder than any guides with whom I’ve fished before! His boat was extremely comfortable and he provided a cooler with ice for our drinks and snacks. Our first trip to Port A was great and Captain Alex and his boat were a highlight for us!! When we return, will call and fish with him again!!

Great fishing trip
5 Hour Trip morning on July 18, 20263 adults

It was a great trip, Captain Alex was very experienced, we saw a bery large barge coming and he new that there would be some dangerous wake coming at us, so prepped his boat for it to keep is safe. Now thats a Captain that is conscious abot the safety of his clients. The big plus was he put on fish. Over all it was a successful Trip. Thank you Captain Alex Cruz.
