Just Fishing Guide Service offers bay fishing trips in Rockport, Texas, and if you’ve never had the chance to explore the fishery in this area, this is your chance. Captain David Hill has been exploring these parts for over 20 years, and he knows exactly what to do to get you on the fish.

You’ll spend your day fishing aboard a 25’ Majek center console that provides a spacious, and stable deck that will serve as your fishing platform. The vessel can accommodate up to 5 anglers and have them fishing at the same time. The Majek is powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine and comes equipped with GPS, fishfinder, a trolling motor, live bait tank, and icebox to keep your refreshments cool while you fish. You will use Shimano and Penn rods and reels, so you don’t have to lug around your own fishing equipment unless you want to.

When it comes to your catch during the day, you will be going after the inshore favorites that are both fun to reel in and delicious to eat. You will be on the lookout for Speckled Trout, Redfish, Black Drum, and Flounder. To attract the best and biggest fish, Capt. David uses live bait, cut bait, and lures on occasion.

After the trip, you will get the fruits of your hard work cleaned and filleted, so not only will you have something to brag about, but you also get a tasty meal as a reward. Bring your kids or your angling buddies and head out to a fishing escapade to remember with Just Fishing Guide Service!

    Effort pays off

    6 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) on March 12, 2024 • 4 adults

    My group of 4 included 3 generations of fisherpersons (2M, 2F) ages 27 - 79. Due to a recent front, the bite was slow. Capt David moved the boat frequently to find hungry fish but had little to show for most of the day. They finally started feeding towards the end of our trip, and Capt David helped us boat 8 keeper redfish to top off an amazing day. We made memories that will last forever thanks to Capt David for his patience, persistence, and effort to send us home happy. 6 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!

    Great Trip

    6 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) on February 12, 2024 • 2 adults

    Such a good fishing trip! Our captain was SUPER knowledgeable, and super nice. The weather was ugly but he still had a good attitude about the trip. He found us a great spot and put us right on the fish. I don't have a single complaint about the trip. We will definitely be booking with him again if the opportunity ever arrises.

    Awesome day with Captain David Hill

    6 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (PM) on May 31, 2024 • 4 adults

    David went above and beyond on a tough windy day to get us a few reds and a black drum in the boat. We had a great time and enjoyed a beautiful evening. It was a wonderful way to compete our family vacation. We can’t wait to fish with him again!

    Afternoon red fishing

    6 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (PM) on December 31, 2021 • 2 adults

    Captain David did an excellent job guiding use on New Years Eve. We booked the night before and even with the short notice he had the boat fully outfitted and ready. The weather was quite windy but we alway felt save with his driving and choices. He put us on red fish right away where we quickly limited out. We kept fishing for giants to tag with our extra tag and got a few bonus black drum. Otherwise he let us catch and release all day long resulting in about 100 catches through the afternoon. He then process the fish and gave us many recommendations for local hangouts to cook the fish for use. As well as methods to safely trace home with our catches. Would definitely recommend him. I will be back to fish with him again!

    Great day fishing w outstanding waterman Captain David Hill

    6 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) on September 4, 2021 • 4 adults

    CAPT Hill advised us to arrive early so we started early and were in the fish the entire time catching more than 30 (it was hard to keep an accurate count) and finishing up w a limit of Red fish that would be the envy of any knowledgeable fisher person. CAPT Hill knows the waters and he knows the fish equally well. Bait tackle boat all in top condition we easily fit four adults and the captain on the boat. A fifth would have been no trouble. CAPT Hill is both courteous and professional. My first fishing trip in Rockport is one my son and I will recall for the remainder of our lives. The next time we are here we will call CAPT Hill again. I fully endorse him. Rhett

    Great Captain who know his stuff!

    6 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) on October 14, 2023 • 3 adults • 1 child

    This trip was mainly for my grandson, who is 10 years old but an experienced fresh water fisherman. This was his first time on the bay. He had a blast! and caught some nice fish to boot! We all had a good time! Thank you Captain Hill!

    What a great day!!!

    6 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) on October 5, 2023 • 4 adults

    Captain Dave had us on red fish as soon as the bait hit the water before the sun even came up. Our party of four was able to limit out on redfish and we started to get into drum before the rain came. He was friendly and informative. Recommend highly!

    Will definitely be going with mr Hill again.

    6 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) on April 24, 2021 • 4 adults • 1 child

    David made our fishing trip a whole lot better by putting us one some keeper reds. He knows the areas on where they’re biting. He knows what they like in the time of season, and his experience on being a captain immediately put us on fish as soon as we got to our first spot. All four of us enjoyed our time out on the water with David and we all said we’ll definitely be going with him again.

Caught Our Limit!
6 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) on September 19, 2026 • 4 adults

We had a great time fishing with Captain David. As a native of Rockport, he was extremely knowledgeable. He was also very patient with us and incredibly helpful. We had a great time and caught our limit of red fish.

Thank you so much for fishing with me and the great review. You both did a great job. The not so nice weather produced a nice box of Reds. Thanks again and hope to fish with you both again soon.

I've been fishing in the Rockport area for over 35 years, and I know these waters like the back of my hand. Angling has always been my passion, and I always like to say that a day on the water is a good day. I specialize in going after Flounder, as well as other inshore species like Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Black Drum.
