There's a fish with your name on it in Port Aransas and Marks guide service will help you catch it! Captain Mark will be your guide, bringing aboard years of angling experience.

There's no guarantee when you're fishing, but just some of the species you can catch around here include Black Drum, Flounder, Sheepshead, Pompano, Redfish, and more with any luck. On these trips, you can expect to use light tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

You'll be casting lines from a 24' Haynie center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Mark will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. 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 sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Good Day on the water
4 Hour Trip on July 22, 20263 adults

Took the family out for their first ever fishing trip. Captain Mark and Ben were excellent taking care of us, teaching as we went not about fishing and about the history of the area. Excellent with the kids. On the way back in we stopped and did some dolphin watching, and they filleted out our catch. A good on the water.

Reported catch:
Redfish

Great trip for our first timers
4 Hour Trip on July 3, 20264 adults

Enjoyed the morning out on the water. Mark knows the spots to hit and was very informative. He made it possible to catch the fish we were after. He checked in days prior to the trip to gather details of what we were after and was communicative and reaponsive as the trip got closer. Will book again.

Club Pipeliners Tournament on June 6, 20264 adults

Great day out on the water for Pipeliners! The morning topwater bite for Reds was a sureal experience! Will be using Mark on future trips to Port Aransas. Boat was top notch and can easily handle large groups, kids too. No need to bring any gear before hand, Mark came prepared for the group.
