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.

Memorable birthday trip!
Full Day Trip on August 15, 20262 adults

What a fun day on the water! Surprised my husband for his birthday with a fishing trip, and could not have hand-picked a better guide. James is super personable, knows his stuff - and put us on the fish right out of the gates! When things slowed down, he kept moving us to try different known hot spots. Had a mix of trout and reds mixed in throughout the day! Great day, great guide!

Beautiful waether a GREAT Adventure.
Fishing trip on June 24, 20263 adults

The boat Captain was very nice and professional. The boat was in great condition with plenty of room for the 4 guest and the captain. He moved around 4 or 5 times before he actually got us on the fish. Everyone on board caught fish and had a fish story to tell. Great Memories were made. He supplied all the bait and paid to have the fish cleaned,
