ShoreThing Guide Service is your ticket to the stunning waters of Port Aransas. With Captain James at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide that has fished these waters for over 20 years.

These waters are known for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Flounder, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, drifting, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Your boat for the day is a 25' Majek with space for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is included depending on the time of year.

Before coming aboard, you'll need 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.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with ShoreThing Guide Service.

Full Day Trip on August 25, 20252 adults
Our First ever Trip and would do it again. Plus we plan on it next year. Great person easy to talk to. Moved around a bit trying to get us on fish and finally did. Got our limit on Trout but only a few Red fish but all in all was Great. Fish got cleans before we could take pictures. Was the only thing negative about the trip.

Half Day Trip (AM) on August 23, 20254 adults
Captain James made our family trip fun, adventurous, and memorable. He helped the amateur ladies in our family with baiting fishing lines. Thanks to him, the ladies caught 4 fishes. As an added bonus, a family of dolphins joined us for a while. Overall, our adventure included fishing, boating, and dolphin watching. It was a great day.

Half Day Trip (AM) on July 16, 20252 adults
My wife and 8 year old grandson and me took in a great day of fishing. The day started slow but Capt. James kept looking and he found some trout. He then got us on the reds and in no time we all had our limit of reds. Capt. James was great with our grandson and us. We are already planning our next trip. Thanks Capt. James.

Full Day Trip on June 7, 20254 adults
We had a great day on the water bay fishing with Captain James. It ended up being a windy day and tough day for fishing but Captain James knows the area extremely well and got us on some great fish to finish a very good day! Would definitely fish with. Captain James again!
