Seidel Guide Service
Seidel Guide Service invites you to fish the beautiful and abundant Port Aransas waters in Texas. They offer bay fishing in Port Aransas and Rockport area with all the bays from Matagorda to Baffin covered. Captain Randy Seidel who owns and operates the charter has worked incredibly hard to make this a prime guiding service in the area!
Fishing takes place aboard a 24' Blazer Bay center console originally built in 2015 with a guest capacity of 5. The vessel is equipped with a GPS and a fishfinder used to locate the schooling fish, a livewell to hold the baits. It features all the USCG-approved safety equipment like life jackets and a CPR-trained Captain.
Captain Randy will take you fishing for the 'big three' species: Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder. Depending on the time of year, you might also be able to target the occasional Tarpon, Bluefish, Black Drum, Ladyfish, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead, Jack Crevalle, and Sharks. You will do wade fishing and drift fishing as preferred techniques using live bait or artificial.
Seidel Guide Service will provide all the rods, reels, tackle, live and artificial baits you need, as well as a catch cleaning and filleting service. You will need to obtain a valid Texas saltwater fishing license, and you are welcome to bring own food and drinks for the day. Families are very welcome on Captain Seidel's charters and multi-boat trips are available.
The departure address may vary if the weather conditions make it difficult to cross the open water with high winds. This is a safety issue, but the other boat ramp is only 6 miles away. It will give you more fishing time and a safe and smooth ride to the fishing area.
Now, simply take a look at the offered trips, pick the one that best fits your needs, and get ready for your next angling adventure!

My buddy and I had an absolute blast fishing with captain Randy for a half day trip. Randy was honest, knowledgeable and was a treat to spend our morning with. He let us know the bite was early so we got up extra early so we could get on the fish. Within 10 minutes we were putting trout in the boat. We caught our limit super quick and spent the rest of the morning culling and looking for the redfish bite. We caught a few more nice trout and called it around 10:30. Exceptional trip! I’ll definitely be booking Randy again in the future!
We had a great trip with Randy. We were very fortunate to limit out the entire boat of 4 guys with a redfish haul incl. one oversized red. Randy was prepared for our group and very knowledgeable about local spots and fishing conditions. We were very fortunate to have great fishing conditions and immediately be pulling in fish. That’s not always the case on fishing trips since there are many factors that go into a successful trip. Randy was a superb captain and I would highly recommend him and will definitely book a return trip.
Captain Randy is a master at locating and catching fish. He will help you, from the least experienced, to the Professional, he has something to offer. His knowledge is vast and he shares it in a friendly and engaging mannor. Book him while you can. A true Texas Coastal treasure.
Randy was excellent. The fish were not cooperating for us today and he still managed to help us find 3 limits of trout. He was very patient with my two boys and went out of his way to try and teach them how to catch trout.
It was a rough day for fishing but Captain Randy did his best to put us on some fish. We had 3 little boys that did catch some no keepers and saw some dolphins and a stingray. We enjoyed our time on the water with Captain Randy and our boys. This will be 4 hours these 2 dads will never forget. This is what fishing is all about. It’s not always the fish you bring home, it’s the memories that were made, and for our sons first experience we were happy to have it with Captain Randy. Thank you sir for a great morning!
What an awsome guy. Very nice and Very helpful. Especially for the novice saltwater angler. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Thanks Captain.

He got us right where the fish was and we had a great time. He was very patient and helpful!
Randy was Fantastic! We had a Great day! Caught lots of fish!!! Thank-you Randy!
Excellent fishing trip! Great communication before the trip and everything was ready to go once we arrived. Capt. Randy had us fishing very quickly and we had some nice redfish in the boat in no time. He’s friendly, knowledgeable, and created a great experience for beginner and experienced fisherman. I would happily book with him again and would recommend him to anyone.
We had a great time on our fishing trip with Randy. He was amazing with my son who has autism and was super patient. He put us on some great redfish and when that got slow took us to a place where we caught a bunch of sheepshead, too. And to top off our day, we got to see lots of dolphin playing around. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone coming down. Another note, he is really friendly with several of the other guides, so they all called / texted back and forth on where the fish were hitting. That was great!

The bite was completely off today but the captain did everything under the sun to get us on fish. My son and I did boat a fish each thanks to his hard work. I will definitely fish with Randy again!! Don’t hesitate to book a trip with him. Great boat, top notch equipment, and Randy was nice and was a pleasure to spend the day with
I took my graduating grandson on a morning fishing excursion. Weather was a bit questionable but the experience was great! Thanks to Randy’s knowledge of the area we were able to find a spot yielding several nice slot Speeckled Trout. (They were extremely tasty!). We had to cut short the trip as the storms closed in, (with lightning strikes approaching), but a great morning none the less. Kudos to Randy for his knowledge in locating fish.
