If you're here to make the most of fishing in Rockport, look no further than Pure South Fishing Charters. Your guide for the day is Captain Josh, which means you'll tap into years of angling experience. You'll be dropping lines from a 22' Gulf Coast center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials.

These waters are known for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. On the day of your trip, you're likely to use light tackle. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board.

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 may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is not allowed. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Half a day trip
KAYAK Mother-shipping (Non-Guided) on September 2, 20232 adults

Captain Josh was very respectful and very keen on teaching tips and tricks when most captains would have gotten frustrated if you didn't get the concept at the first shot. He made the trip feel very welcoming and didn't make you think twice about whether the purchase was worth it or not.
