If you plan on fishing in Aransas Pass, look no further than Captain Johnny Gonzales’s guide service, the Catching ForReel. With Captain Johnny G at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
He will put you on fish inshore and offshore and did we mention he owns a Flounder boat? Yes, you can fish by day and fish by night with Captain Johnny G.
These waters are known for Black Drum, Sheepshead, and more – with any luck, it won’t be long before "Fish on!" You’ll target your catch by spinning, jigging, and bottom fishing or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Captain Johnny can also have you flounder gigging.

Your boat for the day is a 14’ Haynie aluminum fishing boat with a capacity for 2 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods and reels and all necessary equipment are covered by the charter, so you do not have to worry.

Before coming aboard, you will 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 might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect. You can’t go wrong when you bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, time to hit the water with Catching ForReel Guide Services!
