  Birthday Fishing Adventure

  1/2 day pm bay fishing on September 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

  For my son‘s 15th birthday, we hired Corey to help us catch some keeper reds for a fish fry the following day. The experience did not disappoint, as Captain Cory showed my son a side of Aransas Bay he had never seen. His boat allowed us to get into places that others simply were not going. Although we caught other fish, we only kept three reds—measuring 23, 25, and 28 inches. Out of all the years we’ve spent fishing together, my son said this adventure was the best. I will absolutely charter Reel Adventures with Captain Corey Bickford again.

  Great morning on the water!

  1/2 day bay fishing Rockport/Port A on September 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

  Captain Cory's attention to my family's enjoyment of the trip and safety was the bet part of the trip for me. He kept us on the fish, and where he could made sure my Son was dragging as many as possible. We alwys felt safe when we were moving from spot to spot. Lastly Cory making sure no one got motion sickness or dehydrated shows he really cares for his customers. Thank you for a great experience! We will be booking again next time we come down.

  Great Fishing

  1/2 day bay fishing Rockport/Port A on April 22, 2026 • 4 adults

  This was a great trip during a shaky weather week. Captain Corey kept in contact with us before the trip to let us know he was watching the weather. There were storms but he was able to get us on the water after all. We went for redfish and he put us on some keepers using both live and cut bait. After the reds he found some trout we had fun with on live popping corks. Everyone on the boat caught fish. It was a fun time and we’ll definitely book again.

  Fantastic fishing trip with Captain Corey

  3/4 day inshore am on October 11, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

  Corey took my son and I to several different fishing spots on our trip today. We started off bay fishing and quickly caught our share or speckled trout and plenty of sand trout. That was a lot of fun, since at home we spend a lot of time unsuccessfully shore fishing for freshwater bass. So my son had the time of his life casting and reeling in good sized fish at a pretty quick pace. Corey then took us redfish hunting which he warned us would be less active, but we were determined to bring one in. We were finding a bunch of catfish, which aren’t fish you want to keep. Finally, just before we called it a day, one of our reels hit a 22” redfish. Corey was super personable and was happy to share his fishing knowledge with me and my son throughout the trip, which made our time fly by. In the end, we ended up with over 20 keepers, mostly sand trout, that Corey cleaned and bagged for us. The trip was everything we’d hoped for.

  What a great day!

  1/2 day bay fishing Rockport/Port A on September 27, 2025 • 2 adults

  Captain Corey took my daughter and I out to find some redfish in the bay. With his knowledge of the local fish and seasons he got us on quality fish quickly. My daughter and I both agree that Captain Corey was easy to talk to, charmingly funny, and very courteous. It takes a lot to get my kiddo to show some emotion these days (she’s a teenager), and on our way home she had the hugest smile while recounting her catches. Whether you’re a serious angler looking to fish hard for a PB, or just looking to get the family on the water for some fun and adventure, Captain Corey is your man.
