250+ reviews
I was laid off in May 2016 from the oilfield and at the same time, my son was also diagnosed with cancer. I immediately had to find an alternative resource for my family to survive. I've had 'Revelry' (my 27' Catamaran) since 2012 and figured that I must sell her to make ends meet until I found another job. My wife told me that I should put the boat to work with my love of fishing. I had met Captain Scott at a networking mixer in the Woodlands while we both still worked in the oilfield. He had his captain's license so we talked about chartering the boat, although, at the time I didn't really care much for the idea because I didn't want to lose my love of fishing. However, it didn't take long after my wife convinced me to get to work. In the first 5 months of 2016, we fished with over 1,000 customers. We now have 6 boats in the fleet!! I am a USCG and state of Texas licensed guide, a certified Weighmaster (IGFA/state record certification), and Texas Director of Saltwater Tournaments.

    Best trip and Crew Ever

    5 Hour Trip (PM)-Out to 9 Miles • 5 adults

    This was our first trip like this and we reviewed a bunch of charters. We knew by reading the reviews this was the charter we wanted to experience and they did not disappoint. They exceeded our expectations. Captain James and Matt did an amazing job. They even helped us catch a shark which was what I wanted. Be ready to activate your core and arms when catching a shark. They both shared fun facts which we love fun facts and were very knowledgeable. We felt safe and comfortable with them. We will definitely be fishing with them again. I highly recommend Oilfield Outkasts!!!

    Great experience

    5 Hour Beachfront FALL SPECIAL - AM • 6 adults • 1 child

    We had an amazing fishing charter with Oilfield Outfitters and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we got on the water, the crew kept us busy all morning and made sure the action never slowed down. My son landed an incredible 15-lb red snapper, and his friend caught a huge redfish, which was such a thrill for everyone on board. When the bite slowed, the guides didn’t waste time — they moved us to new spots and put us right back on the fish. The crew was knowledgeable, attentive, and great with kids, making the trip fun and stress-free. You can tell they really know the water and are committed to making sure their guests have a successful trip. We highly recommend Oilfield Outfitters and will definitely be booking with them again!

    Great Fishing Trip

    5 Hour Trip (AM)-Out to 9 Miles • 2 adults

    The 5 hour trip was perfect for the people that came with me. We got a bit of every type of fishing in. The TS kind of messed up some of what they had been catching - but we caught tons of gafftop and several types of sharks. Landed a ton of red snapper, but just one keeper on those. Crew was great. Get to go home with fish and sore arms - could not ask for more ;)

    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you for sticking it out with after Tropical Storm Bertha stirred the pot. And thank you so much for this review. Hoping for more sore arms in your future!

    The BEST!!!!

    5 Hour Trip (PM)-Out to 9 Miles • 2 adults

    Had the BEST day fishing yesterday! Oilfield Outkasts Charters are the best. We caught several catfish (no pics) and two sharks - one black tip and one spinner. Capt. Rodney and Clayton were amazing! Excited to go again!!! If you’re in or headed to Surfside Beach/Freeport area and looking to get out and fish - I highly recommend Oilfield Outkasts Charters

    Always a Great Trip

    5 Hour Trip (AM)-Out to 9 Miles • 2 adults

    I can't recommend Oilfield Outkasts enough. They go above and beyond and communication is great. I had many questions when we did our first trip and they are one of few that will respond and answer questions, which I think is important for offshore newbies like we were. It's not a question, book with them!!

    Reported catch:

On the 5 hour trips, the Bull Reds have been elusive. But when that happens, the Kings come out to play! We're catching limits of King Mackerel, big Shark, and some state water Red Snapper.

Bull Red/Big Shark Party in Freeport, TX

May 30, 2025 • Freeport
Got a few 5 hour charters done over the past couple days. These groups were fishin' 'til their arms fell off! OK, not literally, but they were physically worn out by the end of the trip. And plenty of meat for the frying pan.

Fishing's good & weather's *finally* get

Jun 6, 2024 • Freeport
If you've checked our weather here, you've seen that it's been pretty bad. Days of high winds resulting in rough seas, thunderstorms, and a little flooding. We've had to cancel alot of trips, but the ones we managed to get done weren't too shabby! Our nearshore trips have been catching Black Drum, Shark, Jack Crevalle, Catfish, and limiting on Bull Reds. If you've never caught a Jack Crevalle, you're missing out on a great fight. While they aren't any good to eat, they fight hard, making them a fun challenge to fight and catch! And if a Shark is on your bucket list, we've got plenty of 'em. Although we're still anxiously anticipating Kings, we haven't seen any yet. But we'll keep trying 'til we get 'em!

Fishing in Freeport TX is heating up!

May 20, 2024 • Freeport
Were approaching the time ofnyear when offshore fishing starts heating up! Our target species this time of year is usually Red Drum (Bull Red), Blacktip Shark, and King Mackerel. These past couple of days, we got limits of Red Drum, and also caught and released Black Drum. Our clients hooked up with Blacktip Sharks, Spinner Sharks, and Bonnethead Sharks. A nice Jack Crevalle took the bait along with some Cownose Rays that were released. And of course, the Catfish that are set on being made into tacos!
