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!

    David went above and beyond on a tough windy day to get us a few reds and a black drum in the boat. We had a great time and enjoyed a beautiful evening. It was a wonderful way to compete our family vacation. We can’t wait to fish with him again!

    My group of 4 included 3 generations of fisherpersons (2M, 2F) ages 27 - 79. Due to a recent front, the bite was slow. Capt David moved the boat frequently to find hungry fish but had little to show for most of the day. They finally started feeding towards the end of our trip, and Capt David helped us boat 8 keeper redfish to top off an amazing day. We made memories that will last forever thanks to Capt David for his patience, persistence, and effort to send us home happy. 6 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!

    Such a good fishing trip! Our captain was SUPER knowledgeable, and super nice. The weather was ugly but he still had a good attitude about the trip. He found us a great spot and put us right on the fish. I don't have a single complaint about the trip. We will definitely be booking with him again if the opportunity ever arrises.

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

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.
