There's no shortage of fishing charters on the Texas coast. What makes Reel Adventures different is simple — around here, you're not treated like just another trip on the calendar.
Captain Corey Bickford built Reel Adventures around giving people the kind of day on the water they actually remember. Whether it's your kid's first redfish, a group of buddies chasing trout, or a family just wanting a laid-back day together, the goal stays the same: have a great time and put some fish in the boat.
Trips launch out of Rockport and Port Aransas and target redfish, speckled trout, black drum, flounder, sheepshead, and seasonal species depending on conditions and time of year. Every trip is private, so it's just your group and your captain — no crowded boats and no strangers.
You'll fish aboard a fully rigged shallow-water boat equipped with quality gear and electronics to help stay on the bite. Rods, reels, bait, tackle, ice, water, and fish cleaning are all included. Just bring your fishing license, snacks, and whatever you'd like to drink.
Never fished before? No problem. Captain Corey works with beginners, families, and kids all the time. If you're an experienced angler, he'll gladly put together a more technical trip too.
At the end of the day, Reel Adventures isn't about pretending every trip is some TV-show tournament. It's about good people, good memories, and a captain that genuinely wants you to have a great day on the water.
If that sounds like your kind of trip, come fishing
NOTE:
Live shrimp, and or cut bait will be provided (availability, and season permitting)
Croaker, piggy perch and pin perch can be provided for an additional charge of cost. Questions? Please feel free to reach out to me!

Best experience I could have asked for! Captain Corey handled everything, and my 13 y.o. granddaughter and her 2 friends had a blast! We caught fish and watching them light up warmed my heart. Now we have 3 more hooked on fishing for life because Captain Corey can read his clients and communicates very well. He knows how to blend fishing and fun that's for sure. Would recommend to anyone .. Just catch him quick 😁
This was a great trip during a shaky weather week. Captain Corey kept in contact with us before the trip to let us know he was watching the weather. There were storms but he was able to get us on the water after all. We went for redfish and he put us on some keepers using both live and cut bait. After the reds he found some trout we had fun with on live popping corks. Everyone on the boat caught fish. It was a fun time and we’ll definitely book again.
I hope yall enjoyed eating all that fish! yall where awesome to fish with!
Corey took my son and I to several different fishing spots on our trip today. We started off bay fishing and quickly caught our share or speckled trout and plenty of sand trout. That was a lot of fun, since at home we spend a lot of time unsuccessfully shore fishing for freshwater bass. So my son had the time of his life casting and reeling in good sized fish at a pretty quick pace. Corey then took us redfish hunting which he warned us would be less active, but we were determined to bring one in. We were finding a bunch of catfish, which aren’t fish you want to keep. Finally, just before we called it a day, one of our reels hit a 22” redfish. Corey was super personable and was happy to share his fishing knowledge with me and my son throughout the trip, which made our time fly by. In the end, we ended up with over 20 keepers, mostly sand trout, that Corey cleaned and bagged for us. The trip was everything we’d hoped for.
Captain Corey took my daughter and I out to find some redfish in the bay. With his knowledge of the local fish and seasons he got us on quality fish quickly. My daughter and I both agree that Captain Corey was easy to talk to, charmingly funny, and very courteous. It takes a lot to get my kiddo to show some emotion these days (she’s a teenager), and on our way home she had the hugest smile while recounting her catches. Whether you’re a serious angler looking to fish hard for a PB, or just looking to get the family on the water for some fun and adventure, Captain Corey is your man.
Corey took my son and I out for a 1/2 day trip and it was everything I was hoping for. Corey knew the best spots and my son caught several fish and learned alot. I would happily recommend Corey and we will definatey use his services again next time we head down to Port A.
