Surrender At Sunrise is your key to something different, unique, and exciting on the waters of Aransas Pass, Texas. Be a real hunter at least for a night. Try Flounder gigging with the pros!

Think of the quiet and serene bays, calm waters, and the winds that lay low. Just imagine getting out later in the evening to get your weekly dinners sorted out. Try it once, and you will surely want to come back time and time again.

Your trip will begin by staling the elusive Flounder. They are nocturnal fish and feed in the shallows along the reefs and banks. Once the camouflaged fish are caught, they become a delicious dinner - baked, fried, grilled, or broiled.

Capt. Dave will welcome you aboard and then the fun will begin. He will quietly drift the boat along an oyster reef or a sandy area - anywhere the waters are shallow and clear. The boat is equipped with a special light that ill shine down on the bottom.

The boat itself is a 22' Long Beach Aluminum boat. Built in 2016, she is a perfect vessel for Flounder gigging. The boat comes powered by a 150 HP Mercury Pro XS engine. There is plenty of space for up to 4 anglers. All aboard!

The trip comes with all the necessary equipment for Flounder gigging. You should bring a bug spray and a cooler with whatever drinks you want.

One of the best trips!
Flounder Gigging Trip (Night) on June 28, 20234 adults

We take at least 2 guided trips a year with our boys all over the country. All types of fishing and this was our first time Giggin’! Dave was SO great!! This is at the top of our list as being one of our favorite family trips. My boys loved it and Dave was engaging and I have to believe the best giggin’ guide in Port A. We highly recommend him and look forward to another trip in the future!

March fishing trip
Flounder Gigging Trip (Night) on March 18, 20192 adults

Capt Dave was there early, all ready to go. Quick into then we went right out. Got to initial fishing spot before sundown and watched the sunset. Got to gigging and the conditions were rather murky. We fished there for about ten minutes not seeing much. Passed on a few small ones. We cranked up and went to another place. Started thinking shouldnt have passed on the small ones. But got couple flounder there. Then cranked up and went a few miles and started back in. We worked all around getting a few here and there. We started fishing at 830 PM and by 1045 we had our limit of ten for my 23 yo son and I. We fished for another half hour or so after sheepshead and black drum getting one. They were quite fast and it was pretty cold out. We quickly went back to the dock and Dave nicely filleted the fish. We were in our car by 1130. Dave worked hard to put us on fish, not afraid to leave marginal conditions for better. He talks the right amount and his boat is set up just perfect for gigging. It's fast and smooth on the big motor and the prop works well. The lights are really good, but it's still plenty challenging. It's a lot of fun and is something different from the usual fishing. Good value for the money. I liked seeing his fishing reports as they gave an accurate depiction of how the fishing was progressing and it was as good for us as for those before us. Go with Dave, you'll like it.

Floundering trip with captain Dave
Flounder Gigging Trip (Night) on October 28, 20202 adults

Captain Dave was top notch...There were four of us and we gigged 4 limits of flounder plus a sheepshead. The boat was top of the line and Dave is a skilled captain and fisherman. I’ve floundered before but Dave pointed out fish I never would’ve seen...highly recommended!
