Captain
James Hinton

Member since March 2021 Port Aransas, United States
Background
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.
Techniques
Captain James's preferred method of fishing is shallow water around reefs looking for a good fight from a big ole slob Drum or Redfish. That being said, he is proficient in almost any style that the occasion calls for. He prefers using a variety of live bait, but the occasional artificial is not out of the question either.
