I've been fishing in the Rockport area for over 35 years, and I know these waters like the back of my hand. Angling has always been my passion, and I always like to say that a day on the water is a good day. I specialize in going after Flounder, as well as other inshore species like Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Black Drum.

    6 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) • 5 adults • 1 child

    We booked a 4 party reservation for our 13 year olds birthday. Well, at first we were worried that the weather would be too cold/windy for our fishing trip. Our captain called us the day before to reassure us and make sure we wanted to continue. We are glad we did. Even though the first half of our charter was cold and windy we ended up catching up to our limit in fish. Our guide was professional, friendly and anticipated or needs for the trip. Would definetly do it again!

    Reported catch:
    Redfish

    We had a great time fishing with Captain David. As a native of Rockport, he was extremely knowledgeable. He was also very patient with us and incredibly helpful. We had a great time and caught our limit of red fish.

What's biting with Just Fishing Guide Service in Rockport

The fall Redfish run brings with it some monster creatures, along with plenty of delicious Trout and Flounder. Don't miss out on the chance to go offshore, though, with Marlin adding to the star-studded cast in the deep.

Mother-Son trip

Aug 4, 2019 • Rockport
A fun trip with Connie K and her son Austin. We started the day catching numerous undersized red fish for warm up. We moved to spot #2 and as soon as the rods were casted the redfish were taking the baits. Connie and Austin both hooked and fought their fish to the net like pro's. We ended the day with 2 limits of reds and 2 trout. Hope to see this team back in the future for more fishing fun.

Birthday trip with Oversized Red

Aug 3, 2019 • Rockport
Russell B party of 3. It was their first saltwater fishing experience which they all handled like pro's, this trip was special because this was their daughters birthday trip. It was a hot day with little to no wind. We had a slow start but our third stop yielded several large redfish with two oversized Reds over 31". The trip ended with 3 limits of Reds with one of the oversized reds tagged and kept by the birthday girl along with a few bonus trout.

Randy H. group.

Nov 26, 2016 • Rockport
A two boat charter today fishing the Randy H group. We departed the boat ramp at 7:00 am, a cool morning with winds out of the NNE at 10 to 15 MPH. Once arriving at our first location the hooks were promptly baited with live shrimp under a popping cork and casted out. The fishing action started immediately with two in the group catching 2 slot sized speckled. The action continued through the busy morning with the the group keeping a total of 21 speckled trout, 2 Redfish, 4 Black Drum and 9 Sand Trout. There was several fish both undersized and just above the lower legal size limit released to catch another day. REMINDER! Flounder gigging will resume starting Dec 1st. The daily bag limit for gigging from Dec 1st - Dec 14th is 2 flounder per person (special pricing during this time). The daily bag limit will resume to 5 flounder per person on Dec 15th. Thanks, Capt- David Hill

Client first oversized Red!

Oct 2, 2016 • Rockport
Had the pleasure of fishing with a great couple from Oklahoma (Riley and Jennifer C) this morning who where interested in a catch & release fishing trip. Riley's only request was to catch a redfish for the first time. Riley's 2nd fish of the day was a 29-1/2" redfish. We caught and released several redfish along with Black Drum and trout.

Black Drum Saturday

Oct 1, 2016 • Rockport
Had the pleasure of fishing with Lindsay A, group of 4. The weather was great with a lot of boat traffic on the water this Saturday morning. It was a slow start this morning with us making several moves to locate fish. We ended the day with a nice catch of black drum.

Flounder Gigging

Sep 19, 2016 • Rockport
Departed boat ramp just before 9:00 pm. Light winds from the ESE. Made several stops at various locations due to poor water clarity. The group had 2 limits of flounder in the ice chest just after midnight.
