Capt. James runs trips out of Port Aransas aboard an 18' flats skiff that can carry up to 2 passengers. These waters are known for Black Drum, Redfish, Flounder, and many more, and he will show you how to catch them. With a number of years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Great experience

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    James was very informative about weather patterns & various fishing education. Every stop we made, we caught fish. Red Fish & Trout. James would point out schools of Red Fish & Perch. We did see Sting Rays, Dolphins & Jellyfish. He provided us with an amazing first time experience for me & my husband. I would definitely recommend him!

    AM half day trip

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    We all enjoyed our trip with Captain James. Communication was prompt and thorough. Pickup location was changed due to forecast which proved to me that James takes his trips seriously. The change was communicated with plenty of time to adjust. I was bringing two 18 year old young ladies who had never fished saltwater before. James obliged me to ride along and help out even though it was a two person trip. The girls caught pretty much every species possible on a bay trip and had a blast. We even fished a little late to make sure both ladies caught a good fish at James’ request. We will definitely be back and look forward to sharing more boat rides with James.

    Captain James was awesome, super knowledgeable and friendly. We had thought the weather would interfere with our day, but it made for Cooler conditions. We put Ourselves in the hands of the captain and his experience paid off I would recommend him to anyone who wants to try, casting the mangrove islands of Corpus Christi Bay. We caught speckled trout and a couple of large redfish. We kept one and ate it. It was delicious.

    Great Captain

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    Captain James was awesome. Way to windy to sight fish, which he let us know ahead of time, but man did he work his ass off to catch fish. Great Guy, great boat, we will definitely do this again.

What's biting with Wind Knot Charters in Port Aransas

The Bull Redfish bite gets better and better around the jetties. Flounder and Trout are on top form, while offshore there is still a chance of Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, and even Billfish if you travel far enough.
