Spend the day with Capt. Ryan's Guide Services and see what's biting in Corpus Christi! Having logged many hours and days on the famous Baffin Bay and the beautiful Laguna Madre, Captain Ryan can tell you all about them.

Species like Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Redfish, Flounder, and more can be found in these waters, depending on the time of year. On the day of your trip you're likely to experience drift fishing with bait or wade fishing with artificial lures chasing trophy trout. Depending on the time of year and the conditions, most mornings will start out focusing on catching Trout and Redfish and then you will get to experience sight casting Black Drum.

Your day begins aboard a beautiful brand new 23' custom Haynie bay boat with room for 5 passengers. It comes with all the essentials needed for our trip.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids (ages 5+) 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. Kids under the age of 13 are required by law to wear a life jacket. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks and any other drinks of your choice.

Capt. Ryan will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Bait will be provided but is not included in the trip cost.

You will need a valid Texas saltwater fishing license before the trip. This information is available online through Texas Parks and Wildlife, or you can ask the captain.

It's recommended to bring sunglasses, sunblock, and a hat. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor and no glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Capt. Ryan's Guide Services.

Captain Ryan is very knowledgeable and passionate in his trait and was more than happy to shared that with us. We had a blast because of him. He kept us on the fish the whole day which made it fun and exciting the entire time. We are so glad we went with this Captain out of all the ones in the area. We knew we were in Corpus for only a short period of time and when we originally contacted him about a trip but he was booked. Once we arrived in Corpus I had a feeling to contact him again to see if he had any cancellations and boy did we get lucky! And now I understand why he was booked out ! He was such a great guide we will be coming back to him next vacation!

Had a blast! Captain Ryan put me on the biggest trout I have ever caught and taught me how to fish responsibly. He knows where the fish are and obviously truly enjoys what he does.

My whole life since I was little all I could ever think about was being on the water and getting to fish everyday. Just when I thought I was already obsessed I remember the very first trophy trout I caught. That's when the real chase kicked in and I was hooked for life. Everyday to this very day nothing gets me more excited then to chase these beautiful trophy trout. With all the years and time I have spent on the water, now my biggest enjoyment is getting to see my clients with a huge smile on their face when they get to land a trophy fish of their own. I love getting to teach people about our bay system, how these fish behave and what makes them so special. My goal is that after our trip is over not only did you have a blast catching fish but also that you learned things through out the day and made a memory that will last a lifetime.
