    Half Day Trip

    4 Hour Trip – Bay/Inshore

    We’ve been out with Fishwater a few times now, and every trip has been great! Captain Jon makes it feel easy and fun from the second you step on the boat. No pressure, no stress. Just a fun day on the water. He explains what’s going on without overcomplicating it, and he’s especially great with kids and first-timers. The boat is clean, and comfortable, and the gear is well maintained and professional-grade. We will definitely book again.

    Spring Break Trip With Capt. Jonathan Zaludek

    3 Hour Trip – Spring Sheepshead

    Capt. Jonathan Zaludek provided an awesome experience for our family! It was wonderful seeing the kids fighting with some large sheepshead and they are delicious fish to eat as well. We also managed a nice variety of species, including a 25"+ speckled trout! I would highly recommend a trip with this Captain and we will certainly be going out with him again too!

    Jonathan was awesome!

    3 Hour Trip – Spring Sheepshead4 adults2 children

    We had a great fishing trip with Jonathan! He was fantastic and we caught a ton of fish in 3.5 hours. He was professional, friendly, and quick to handle a family of four when fish were on the line. We had an awesome experience with Captain Jonathan - a true expert. We will definitely hire him again when we visit Port Aransas! Thanks Jonathan!

What's biting with Fishwater Guide Co. in Port Aransas

Bull Redfish start to migrate into the bays, making this one of the best months for inshore fishing. And what with reduced crowds and a hot bite offshore as well, you could say this is one of the best times to fish in Port Aransas.
