Coastal Guide Service Rockport 

Chris met us early on Saturday morning. We all watched the sun come up. Beautiful day. The day started with a nice boat ride out to the stop. Catch a few fish but pushed on to several other places. Chris told me that after 10 am the fish come alive. He was right. In less than 30 minutes we caught another 10 Drum. Total catch by 10:30 am 12 Drum and 1 Red. That’s not counting the ones we had to through back. Thanks Chris for making my birthday the best ever. Highly recommend for a great time.

Chris expertly put is in a position to limit out on Reds to include a 34 whopper and a few others that were tournament worthy fish! Could not have asked for a better day on the water; the rain before sunrise made no matter. Being back in the flats hitting the fish with the ducks flying over head made our trip with Captin Chris perfect. Can wait to do it again!

Had an amazing time. Chris with Coastal Guide Service put us on the fish. My son and I couldn’t reel them in fast enough. We didn’t expect much at all as the weather was less then ideal but Chris not only knew how to navigate around the conditions, he made it the best trip we have ever had. We didn’t just find our forever go to guide, we made a great friend. Chris isn’t only an extremely knowledgeable fisherman, he is an all around great guy who made us feel comfortable from the start.

Wow, we had so much fun with Capt. Chris Pace of Coastal Guide Service yesterday. Our group of three caught lady fish, spotted trouts, cat fish, and a bunch of red and black drums. Chris knew his territory and we caught something at every spot he hit. Consider chartering the four hour evening trip starting at 3:30 pm (a huge plus if you don’t want to get up early to catch the morning fish run). We had a beautiful sunset that was the background of us constantly reeling in fish. We are relatively experienced anglers whom have taken many chartered fishing excursions in the past. This excursion is by far one of the best experience that we’ve ever had. Thank you Capt. Chris Pace for your patience and knowledge, and giving us a lifetime worth of wonderful memories. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND Coastal Guide Service. Five stars for sure. Cheers and good fishing! -Tony Senser, Art Zamorano, Al Federico, Oct. 26th, 2022.

This was my son’s first bay fishing experience and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Captain Chris was an excellent guide/host and put us on fish from our first casts to our last. My son is very hesitant on trying new things and wasn’t sure how this trip would turn out, but Captain Chris helped him overcome all that. Captain Chris assisted and coached him up, and by mid-trip, my son was baiting, casting and landing fish in his own. By the end of the trip my son had the bug, all smiles and asking when we could do it again. My wife and I can not express how much we appreciate Captain Chris for making his first trip a memorable one and wanting to do it again, but thank you! This will now become a normal thing fishing with Captain Chris, when we take our family vacations to the coast and who we will recommend to our friends for fishing trips.

May two best friends and I took our 3 boys fishing with captain Chris and we had a great time! Chris was very patient, knowledgeable, and we caught a lot of fish! 6 guys total and we each caught our limit! I look forward to booking with captain Chris again in the future!

Had a great experience with Captain Chris! For 3 inexperienced fishermen he was helpful and informative in each and every way! He got us out on the water early and explained exactly what we needed to do in order to catch fish which is what we did. Captain Chris had a great knowledge of the water and always made sure we were put in the best position to make the catch! Captain Chris overall was a helluva guy to be on board with and a great time. I would recommend anybody to take a trip with him! We will definitely be back out on the water because of him!

Thanks Captain Chris for a great time!! First time fishing for my 7 & 5 year old boys and my sister with Down Syndrome. The boat was beautiful and the ride was so fun, we all had a blast!! He kept everyone busy with fishing poles and great conversation! Everyone loved looking at the live shrimp and we were able to take 1 good one home!! The entire experience was perfect! Highly recommend and we hope to be back next year!!

We got ourselves some fishing in, on our late vacation with Chris and we had a blast, the wind conditions were not favorable, but we were able to get ourselves some really good reds. Chris was s great teacher with the equipment and the style of fishing it would take to land these type of predator fish!!! Can't thank you enough Chris Pace for a great evening of fishing, we'll be back next season to land some snappers. ok

My brother and his friends had an amazing time fishing with Chris. He took them to spots where they were non stop catching fish. Everyone loved him as a guide and the fact that he never threw dalton over board is a real sign of his professionalism :D
