It's a fishing trip. Think of what you would need if you were going out on a boat for hours of FISHING. Your guide's not there to feed you, take you to shore to the restroom. He's there to put you on fish. Boat shoes are a must to keep your feet comfortable. A swimsuit with light, long sleeves, hooded fishing shirt is recommended. It gets hot and humid here.

Weekdays has less boat traffic than weekends. Sep tends to still be hot--take plenty of sunscreen and stay hydrated.

We would highly recommend it. Everyone was so nice to us newbies. My husband & brother had a great birthday. We had the BEST guide too. Captain Alex was wonderful.

September is a tough month for fishing. Defiantly the dog days of summer but a tough day of fishing still beats working!

Depending on time of year, lots of water. However, our captain made up for our deficiency.

Weather was a bit hot this time of year, but our guide was able to put us on fish.

It was my first time on a guided fishing trip and I think it went really well

This was super easy in and out and didn't have to ride in the boat for half hour to start fishing and to get to multiple spots. Liked all of that. What surprised me was how far down to Corpus from Rockport it was. Question your guide ahead about what he goes after and is he flexible and what is biting lately. Always good to have proper expectations. Aransas Pass not the most scenic with a good bit of refinery shoreline but hey, good fishing

Guides are invaluable in getting to the variety of fish species that come and go throughout the year in the Rockport area.

Get a good charter, they know the water and can help point out the good spots. Captain Smiley is a great option, friendly and very knowledgeable.

If you are feeling bored just wait until you start going for red snapper, you'll have all the fish you can handle at the end of the trip

Book a charter and support local fishing guides. Unless your local, this is the best way to get out on fish and not have to worry about cleaning gear or fish. Would highly recommend.

Make sure you wear sunscreen and take a hat. Don’t get in too big a hurry. Fishing takes patience. Enjoy the time on the water!!

Water was extremely blue and easy to see through! So you could actually watch the fish take the bait! So awesome

These guys were great, half our party were 1st timers. Recommend booking ahead of time they stay busy!

Plan on everything costing twice what you expect and taking twice as long. Get there early and plan on waiting. But its almost always worth it!

Great fishing, if your going to be there for more than a day rent a golf cart to get around. Restaurants fill up fast and you will be turned away, most close at 9 pm.

Captain Alex Cruz would definitely be a recommendation for anyone wanting to get some great fishing in he will definitely get you where you need to get some great size fish.

Jay Lancaster (Lancaster Sportfishing) was great for offshore. Brian Cibulka was great for inshore.

Employ a guided trip. The bay is large and and shallow, you will need help navigating to the hot spots.
