Beyond The Limit Guide Service
Make an adventure out of your next trip in Freeport and go fishing with Beyond The Limit Guide Service. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Jay can tell you all about them.
From our location we can fish West Galveston bay, Freeport surfside area and Matagorda bay. (Galveston ad Matagorda have longer travel times.)
The fish in these waters include Redfish, Speckled Trout, Blacktip Shark, Flounder, Black Drum, and more. On these trips, you can expect to use light to medium tackle.
Families making of a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. You're welcome to bring snacks or lunch to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!
Your vessel for the day is a 23' JH Performance flats boat with room for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials. Capt. Jay will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures.
*Bait is not included in the price.
You will need to buy 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.
Some essentials to bring are sunblock (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Beyond The Limit Guide Service!

Vernon Wood5.0VerifiedAmazing Captain which made for an even better experience!
8 Hour Trip — Inshore on June 20, 2026 • 2 adultsWe booked an 8 hour trip with Capt Jay Potts. Even though a big storm had been through a couple days before he put us on fish. I have been on several fishing outings with other guides but it this was my GFs first time fishing. The Capt. was patient and thought my GF how to cast and everything. She caught her first fish ...a decent sand trout... on a line she had cast out herself. By the end of the trip she was even catching her own live shrimp. The Capt was down to earth, laughed, joked, and never rushed us along. We caught our limit in Sand trout and also brought home a whiting, a black drum, and a red. We had a blast! We will definitely use him as our guide again. As soon as we got in the truck my girlfriend was asking when we are booking again. Thank you Capt Jay Potts for a great trip and great first fishing memories for my GF! We will see you again!

Mandy Warr5.0VerifiedCaptain Jay Rocks!
5 Hour Trip — Inshore on August 1, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Jay made our first fishing experience the absolute best. He (very) patiently showed us everything we needed to know, took us to the best spots (amd left when they got all fished out). He was a wealth of knowledge and fun to boot! we had a blast and would recommend him to everyone! See you next time Captain!
Chancelor WilliamsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat experience
5 Hour Trip — Inshore on December 23, 2025 • 2 adultsFrom start to finish, this trip was everything i was looking for. Pre-trip communication was easy and clear. On the water Captain Jay shares his knowledge of navigation, avoiding hazards, and locating fish. The boat is a beautiful, well maintained, safe and stable fishing platform. Plenty of space, dry and enjoyable ride. Came home with dinner in the cooler. Overall, great day. Can’t wait to go back out with Captain Jay.
