Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.
Port Aransas has a fish with your name on it, so let James Regini Guide Service help you catch it! With Captain James at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.
These waters are home to Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Redfish, and more if conditions allow.
On the day of your trip you're likely to drift and bottom fish using light tackle.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!
You'll be fishing aboard a 24' Bay boat with space for 5 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.
You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, it may be necessary 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.
You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with James Regini Guide Service!

Anna De Reese5.0VerifiedNewGreat Experience
6 Hour Trip on October 7, 2026 • 3 adultsJames was incredibly chill, organized, patient, and just genuinely easy to spend the morning with. Everything was clean, ready to go, and well thought out from start to finish. You can tell he knows his stuff, but just as importantly, he knows how to make the day enjoyable. No stress, no rushing, just a really good morning on the water with someone who clearly takes pride in what he does. Would absolutely book with him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a great fishing trip!
Scott Fixsen5.0VerifiedNewGreat trip with captain James
6 Hour Trip on November 1, 2026 • 3 adultsCaptain James was great! He knows his way around the bay and put us on the bite. We caught our limit of reds and a couple specs too. I recommend Captain James to anyone that wants to catch fish around Redfish Bay.
Sid Lawrence5.0VerifiedGreat Fisherman, Great Guy
6 Hour Trip on September 28, 2026 • 3 adultsWe had the pleasure of sharing the water with a captain who was both incredibly knowledgeable about how to put us on fish and who couldn’t have been more pleasant to be around. We would recommend him to anyone looking to catch some fish, have a great time doing so, and learning a little bit about how to be better fisherman along the way.
Don Aldridge5.0VerifiedGreat Experience!!!
6 Hour Trip on May 26, 2026 • 3 adultsCaptain James did an awesome job today, he took the time and patience to show my grandson and my younger son how to watch and beware of how the fish take the bait etc. we all had a great day and caught lots of fish. They cleaned what we caught and we had a big fish fry that night. Amazing day, can’t wait till next year.
Gary Jones5.0VerifiedGreat guide, especially for our young boy
4 Hour Trip on May 22, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenJames was great with my 5 yo boy. Great attitude and experience as a Capt. He put us on the fish from the very beginning of the trip and througout the morning. He has good knowledge of the tides/fish patterns and behaviors to know where to look next. Overall great day on the bay. Definitely recommend for groups with smaller kids.
Bobby Goode5.0VerifiedGreat trip with Captain James
6 Hour Trip on August 4, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe really enjoyed Captain James! He was great with our kids and made sure to teach my son some new things about fishing. It was a tough day of fishing and he worked really hard to make sure we caught fish and had a great experience! We will would highly recommend him and would book with him again for sure.
Tabitha Krohn5.0VerifiedGREAT experience!!
6 Hour Trip on May 8, 2026 • 2 adultsIf you’re looking for a fishing guide that truly knows what he’s doing, this is your guy. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the fish we were targeting and knew the exact spots and bait to use to put us on fish all day. On top of that, he was extremely nice, humble, and easy to spend the day with. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend and will absolutely book with him again!
