Hookin' Huffman
+71Spend the day with Hookin' Huffman and get hooked on fishing in Port Aransas! With Captain Jared at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
Fishing around here will often see you targeting Black Drum, Sheepshead, Redfish, Flounder, Bonnethead Shark, Mangrove Snapper, Spotted Seatrout, and more, depending on conditions. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Also remember to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 21' Avid center console with space for 5 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Jared has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, it will be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. 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.
It's recommended to bring sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Five-Star Experience with Hookin’ Huffman
5 Hour Trip (AM) on July 3, 2025
My son (Moose) and I had the pleasure of spending a 5-hour trip on the water with Jared Huffman—better known around Port Aransas as Hookin’ Huffman—and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. While the fish weren’t exactly cooperating that day, it didn’t matter. Jared’s professionalism, energy, and deep knowledge of the waters made the experience unforgettable. He had us laughing, learning, and completely engaged the entire time. The boat was spotless, the gear was top-notch, and Jared worked non-stop to put us on fish. It’s clear he takes pride in what he does, and even more clear that he truly cares about his clients having a great time—fish or no fish. If you’re looking for a guide who knows his stuff, treats you like family, and makes the most out of every minute on the water, Hookin’ Huffman is your guy. Moose and I will absolutely be booking with Jared again—next time we’ll bring the fish with us!

Great Captain, Great Boat, Great Trip = Great Memories
5 Hour Trip (AM) on July 1, 2025
If I could give more stars I would. We had an Awesome time with Captain Jared Huffman. He took us to all the hot spots. His boat was very clean, had plenty of space and was well stocked with bait. He kept our lines baited at all times and had our fish cleaned in no time at all. My son and his friends had a blast on the trip and we all caught plenty of fish, which we later had for dinner. I highly recommend Hookin Huffman for your next fishing trip. Thanks again for a great time Jared! We’ll see you next trip! C.P. Morrison

Excellent guide service, Captain Jared made my experience an unforgettable one. He provides everything you need to have an excellent time out on the water, whether it be saltwater bay fishing or freshwater fishing on Lake Whitney. His services also provided us with bait, tackle to lines, lures rods and reels, even cleaning our catch after a long day. He's a family man so his patience with my kids and our inexperience was a plus, you can truly see his passion for what he does and for the people that book a trip with him. Can't wait to book another trip with him for some dolphin watching and Fall duck hunting. You won't be disappointed. Thanks Capitan Jared.

5 Hour Trip (AM) on July 13, 2025
Captain Jared was an excellent guide for my son and I. He was a genuinely nice and personable guy with limited knowledge of catching Reds. He didn't treat us like customers he treated us like friends. We had a great time catching fish and discussing numerous other tales. We caught a few Reds/Trout and had a great experience. He taught my 12 yo son a ton about fishing and how to filet a fish. I highly recommend Captain Jared.

We had a Great time Fishing with Captain Jared, he was cool and made us feel welcomed. Took us to a few spots. We did catch fish and my son caught a stingray! But only one keeper. We still had a Great time and will be requesting him again. We caught reds, speckled trout, catfish, a Big perch, toad fish and a stingray. He made sure to keep me informed on the weather bc it was raining and what time we would link up to fish. Also offered some spots if we needed tackle stuff and bait. He is very knowledgeable. Thanks for a Great time Captain Jared
