No matter if you are a group of friends, on a family outing, or with business clients, he will take you on a fun and safe saltwater fishing adventure.

You’ll fish from a 22’ Transport center console boat, with a spacious deck that accommodates up to 4 anglers, and has plenty of storage space. It is powered by a 200 HP Suzuki 4-Stroke motor, providing a smooth ride in the bays and shallow lake waters. It comes equipped with a Garmin GPS and fishfinder, a power pole, and a trolling motor, live bait tanks, and an icebox. 

Reel Hook Guide Service specializes in wade and drift fishing for trophy Speckled Trout, Redfish, Black Drum, and Flounder. Trips include rods, reels and tackle, lures, ice, bottled water, as well as catch cleaning and bagging. Don’t forget to organize Texas saltwater fishing licenses for all anglers who are over 18 years.

Capt. Richard is fully licensed by the United States Coast Guard and the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. He runs charters all year round, and can cater to all skill levels. You can be sure that he’ll put you on the fish in no time with his experience and skills.

All you need to do is choose a trip that suits you, join Reel Hook Guide Service, and get ready to have some serious fun!

Captain Richard provided an exceptional fishing experience! His expertise and passion for fishing were evident from the start. He knew all the best spots and techniques, ensuring we had plenty of opportunities to reel in some impressive catches. Beyond his skills, Captain Richard was incredibly friendly and patient, making the trip enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their experience level. The boat was well-maintained and equipped with everything we needed. I highly recommend Captain Richard for anyone looking for a top-notch fishing adventure!

I brought my nephew, who never went fishing and a friend on Sunday, June 26th. We met Captain Richards at 600 and by 630 we dropped our lines on calm water and a beautiful day. Each of us had plenty of action as we kept Captain Richards busy netting fish and taking care of our rigs. Needless to say, my 12 year old nephew caught the largest trout at 24 inches. We asked the Captain to bring us back to the dock at 100p as each of us caught plenty of fish. I highly recommend this trip!

Great trip

VERIFIED

A great day of fishing. Captain Richard got us on fish right away and the action was consistent. We caught our limits on specs and most all were 20 inches or more, one topping 27. Also picked up one nice bull red. I was apprehensive about the trip due to all of the fresh water from recent storms, but it turned out fantastic. Plan on booking with Captain Richard again.
