Fishwater Guide Co.
Fishwater Guide Co. focuses on active inshore fishing along the Texas Coastal Bend near Port Aransas.
Most days are spent staying mobile, reading conditions, and fishing the areas giving us the best opportunity, instead of sitting in one spot waiting for fish to come to us.
Whether you're looking to learn the fundamentals, chase a personal best, or compete in a tournament, every trip is built around making adjustments, staying adaptable, and fishing with purpose throughout the day.
Live bait, local knowledge, and understanding conditions are a major part of the approach.
All rods, reels, tackle, and bait are provided.
If you're in town and thinking about getting out, send a message, and we'll help you pick the best time to go.

We’ve been out with Fishwater a few times now, and every trip has been great! Captain Jon makes it feel easy and fun from the second you step on the boat. No pressure, no stress. Just a fun day on the water. He explains what’s going on without overcomplicating it, and he’s especially great with kids and first-timers. The boat is clean, and comfortable, and the gear is well maintained and professional-grade. We will definitely book again.
Capt. Jonathan Zaludek provided an awesome experience for our family! It was wonderful seeing the kids fighting with some large sheepshead and they are delicious fish to eat as well. We also managed a nice variety of species, including a 25"+ speckled trout! I would highly recommend a trip with this Captain and we will certainly be going out with him again too!
Great trip with Fishwater Guide Co. Easy, fun, and we caught fish. We had some beginners with us and Jon was very helpful and patient. He made it a really enjoyable morning on the water!
We had a great fishing trip with Jonathan! He was fantastic and we caught a ton of fish in 3.5 hours. He was professional, friendly, and quick to handle a family of four when fish were on the line. We had an awesome experience with Captain Jonathan - a true expert. We will definitely hire him again when we visit Port Aransas! Thanks Jonathan!
captian did great and got us on the fish.
