Spend 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.

Captain Jared Huffman
5 Hour Trip on September 7, 2025 • 2 adults
Captain Jared is a great guy. We got caught by a storm early in our trip which was the only disappointment but nothing any Captain can control but I will say that within an hour we had 2 Red keepers and if that storm wouldn’t happened then I was already preparing to hook up the rest of the trip. Both my Son and Law are super ready to get down there and do it all over with no storm. By the way also gave us some fishing around Port A without a boat. Son and Law wouldn’t get off the beach the rest of the weekend without a rod. Thank You Captain Jared. Once again look forward to the next trip!

Five-Star Experience with Hookin’ Huffman
5 Hour Trip on July 3, 2025 • 2 adults
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!

5 Hour Trip on March 15, 2025
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.

Fish On!
5 Hour Trip on June 21, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child
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

Capt Jared was prompt and got us on some fish at our first stop. Had a blast fishing today. My son and Bonus son both landed keepers and thats what this trip was about! Weather moved in and lightning was striking all around us towards the end of our trip and Capt Jared made the absolutely correct decision to bring us in safely so we can come out again! Highly recommend booking!
