Turn your next trip to Rockport into an adventure everyone will talk about. Join Capt. Brian Oxford, owner of First Light Guide Service, and experience some of the best inshore fishing on the TX coast.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best, introducing your kids to fishing, or looking for a memorable day, we’ll tailor the trip to the conditions and your experience. Depending on the season and conditions, you could hook into Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Alligator Gar, and whatever else is biting.
No two trips are exactly alike. You may be popping corks over grass flats, running cut bait on the bottom, or working artificial lures to fool a trophy fish. Every trip is an opportunity to learn, laugh, and make memories that last long after you return to the dock.
Family fishing? Perfect! Kids are always welcome, and there’s nothing better than seeing a young angler land their first catch. Children are required by law to wear a properly fitted life jacket, so check with Capt. Brian about available sizes or bring one that fits your child.
You’ll fish aboard a new 22’ Majek M2 Illusion that accommodates up to 4 guests and is equipped with everything needed for a great day. Rods, reels, tackle, and bait are provided. Wade fishing trips are also available.
Before your trip, be sure to purchase a valid Texas saltwater fishing license. Capt. Brian will gladly answer any questions. Bring polarized sunglasses, a hat, lightweight UV-protective clothing, sunscreen (non-spray), snacks, and your favorite beverages. A Yeti cooler stocked with bottled water and ice is provided, with room for snacks! Beer is welcome, just no glass.

Captain Brian was a pleasure to meet. The fishing was fun with a limit of speckled trout but the fellowship was even better. Great stories, attention to detail , excellent gear, and very well appointed watercraft. Brian is our go forward coastal guide. Thank you for the great morning, Brian!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for choosing my services. It truly was one of the best trips of the summer and looking forward to having both you and Cathy back again soon
we enjoyed the heck out of our trip out with Brian. He knew some good spots for us to load up on gafftop cats and we did snag a few trout some were 2 small and 1 red that was small. but when i say lisd up on the cats we had almsot a dozen. was a very good trip and the hospitality ans conversations were even better. he was a great captain who knew the water and tended to us for everything. def will come back and fish with him again.
Man I sure appreciate it and look forward to having y’all back again anytime just say when!
