Located in Rockport, Texas, Saltwater Experience Charters offers you an adventure on the beautiful Gulf Coast of Texas. Captain Paul Baucum is a friendly and skilled angler who will take you to the Inshore Bay system, flats, and backwaters in pursuit of the species of your choice.

You will be using popping cork, bottom, and drift fishing as conditions provide. Species targeted are Spotted Trout, Redfish, Black Drum, and Flounder.

You will be taking this adventure on a 25’ Dargel Kat powered by an Evinrude E-Tec 300 motor. Runs out at 48 knots, So it will get you to that fishing spot quickly so you can start fishing. It has a wireless trolling motor so you will ease in and not scare away the fish. Onboard are 2 live bait wells for plenty of bait and lures are available for the angler that prefers them. Also 2 ice chests - 1 for your drinks and 1 for your catch.

This Charter is family friendly and your children are always welcome to share their experience on the water with you. (Just make sure you bring the required flotation devices for the little ones). Also, corporate and tournament trips are available.

All poles, reels, live bait, lures, and water are furnished. All you need is a Salt Water fishing license, snacks, and drinks if wanted and don’t forget the sunscreen lotion. No glass Please!

This was a great surprise Christmas present!
4 Hour Trip on December 13, 20252 adults
I booked my husband and I a fishing trip with Captain Paul and it was the best! Captain Paul is super laid back but passionate and truly loves what he's doing. We caught a good variety of fish because he really knows the waters. I learned a lot from him and I'm definitely rebooking in the future.

Weekend off
8 Hour Trip on August 30, 20253 adults
My family and I had a good time fishing this weekend. We did catch fish but it was disappointing that what we caught they were not keepers. This trip was a last minute planning. The problem with this was we took off when I got off work so I plan on paying with credit card. To my surprise, I could not pay using my card so it was kinda of embarrassing trying to pay another way, since I was not ready. So be aware that even if the website says you can pay with card you might not.

We wanted a low-impact but productive day on the water and, Captain Paul, with Saltwater Experiences, delivered! He put us on fish and we hit 'em until we were tired. I highly recommend Captain Paul Baucom with Saltwater Experience!

Captain Paul was excellent. We had a great time fishing. He was knowledgeable and experienced. His boat and equipment were top notch. We would definitely do another fishing trip with him and highly recommend his services.

A hard fishing day, but had a blast
8 Hour Trip on May 24, 20252 adults
The fishing was tough on the day we went out, only wound up with a keeper red, keeper black and a diminutive sand trout, but the wonderful experience of being out on the bay in a fantastic boat with a very personable and knowledgeable captain was a blast. I hope the fish cooperate on the next trip, and there will be a next trip for sure! Thanks Captain Paul!
