25+ reviews
Captain James is originally from the Panhandle of Texas, where he raised a family and operated a successful cattle operation for over 30 years. He came to the South Coastal Bend area on an invite to bays fish for a weekend and made several return trips there after. When he was looking to make a life change fishing seemed like a natural fit. In 2019, Captain James made the move to Rockport, Texas. He spent the next year learning the water in and around the area. He also had several veteran fishing guides mentor him as well. Since then Captain James has become a very sought after fishing guide in the area.

4 Hour Trip • 2 adultsAbsolutely fantastic fishing guide! He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and made the entire experience so much fun. He knew exactly where to go and made sure we had a great time from start to finish. We caught plenty of fish and made some great memories.

Ryan Fitz5.0VerifiedAwesome Trip!!
Full day trip • 2 adults“Top-tier guide! Having fished with many captains around Port A and Rockport, Capt. James stands out at the top of the list. We limited out on trout before 7:00 AM and spent the rest of the morning chasing tailing redfish in the flats. Highly recommend!”
Response from CaptainThank you sir!

Jason Grochowski5.0VerifiedRough Conditions
Full day trip • 2 adultsWe had a hard day on the water the wind was terrible and although being an experienced angler of 40years, we were not experienced in catching redfish or trout, but Captain Hinton put us on the fish and kept instructing us until we picked it up. He was fun and cut up with us. Great guy trip we ended up getting our limit and had a great time liked his story on YouTube. Been on a lot of charter boats and when I find a captain like this. I always come back. Thanks Captain Hinton you turned me and my buddy on to a new way of fishing.

John CoxRepeat angler5.0VerifiedRedfish Reaper Is The Real Deal
4 Hour Trip • 2 adultsCaptain James Hinton is the best inshore captain and fisherman I have ever fished with. Simply put, He will put you on the fish. He gave us the time to get our limit on both trout and reds, even after missing several fish we should have hooked. The guy has passion for what he does and the knowledge and patience to do it. His gear is top notch as well. If you want to have great trip, I highly recommend book the Redfish Reaper- Captain Hinton.

What's biting with Redfish Reaper Guide Service in Port Aransas
The Bull Redfish bite gets better and better around the jetties. Flounder and Trout are on top form, while offshore there is still a chance of Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, and even Billfish if you travel far enough.
