BiGGuns Guide Service invites to explore the waters of Bridge City, Beaumont, and Port Arthur, Texas. Pat Powell is a local professional with over four decades of outdoor experience. Join him for a fun day out and enjoy everything South East Teas has to offer.

Your guide Pat specializes in fly and topwater fishing in the shallow waters of Sabine Lake and Bayous. He caters to anglers of all skill levels and expertise. Each trip with Pat is very informative and educating. He will guide you through the basics before you make your first cast.

With BiGGuns Guide Service, the list of your potential catches will include Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Tripletail. You will mainly be fishing with artificial lures. If you are fishing with live bait, your guide will have it prepared for the trip. Live shrimps, however, can be purchased at additional $20.

All you have to do is book a trip and set your foot aboard a brand-new 22' Shoalwater flats boat. This spacious vessel comes powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine. It can take you and two fishing buddies to the hottest grounds quickly and safely. The boat is rigged with navigational and fish finding equipment, along with a wireless trolling motor, a live well loaded with bait to make your hooks irresistible, and an ice-box.

All trips come with quality rods and reels by Shimano and Lew's. As well as that, you will be provided with drinks, fish cleaning service, lures, and bait. Fishing licenses are not included in the price.

Pat can meet his clients in many places nearby. Please check it with him before the trip.

”Better than I ever imagined”
Half-Day Trip on July 9, 20262 adults1 child

this is my second time using FishingBooker. I have not been disappointed. Captain Pat was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our grandson caught at least six or seven redfish. Only ever fishing freshwater, he caught the biggest fish he ever has. We were so blessed to have such a wonderful experience. I recommend captain Pat to anyone. 

Reported catch:
Redfish
Speckled Trout

Capt. Pat put us on the fish!
Half-Day Trip on January 11, 20262 adults

Let me start with: Pat knows what he is doing. His gear is top notch. He doesn’t promise you fish. On this day we went out in some fairly harsh conditions…yet he managed to put us on fish all day long. Communication was a breeze. Easy to get along with. Do yourself a favor and choose BigGuns and Capt. Pat for your next guided trip. You will not regret it.

Great day of fishing - big fish and quantity of fish
Full Day Trip on September 13, 20252 adults

Our captain worked hard to balance our day between staying busy with action while also going after some bigger fish. Landed several really good fish using a variety of methods in many different locations. The captain did a great job of chit chat and sharing knowledge

Response from Captain

Thanks Chris, it was a pleasure.
