  My Party Was Highly Pleased!

  Full Day Trip on October 10, 2026 • 4 adults

  Captain John was amazing from our first encounter to finish. High energy, easy going, patience for first timers, quick response time, accomedating, knowledgeable and taught us a lot. Captain John picked some great spots. My dad said “Out Freaking Standing!” My uncle, “We will definitely book again!” My family is already making plans for next year. Fantastic sums up the day out. Thank you again for a wonderful experience, Captain!

  Captain John took my son and I fishing a couple mornings, and we had a great time. Caught plenty of reds, black drum, and a few trout too. Really appreciated his expertise and patience with my son and I as we are not expert fishermen, yet. I've used plenty of guides over the years, and I highly recommend John.

  Great day of fishing with an experenced guide

  Full Day Trip on July 14, 2026 • 4 adults

  Can’t say enough good things about Capt John Wood. He is extremely personable and knowlegeable with the Rockport fishing areas and knows where the fish are. Although conditions could have been better, Capt John immediately put us on fish and we were quick to limit out on specs and also brought in 3 nice reds between 25 to 27 1/2 inches. It was an all around great experience for our party of 4 and all highly recommend Capt John Wood.

  Money well spent!

  Full Day Trip on July 10, 2026 • 2 adults

  Captain John was exceptional. He was 100% about customer experience, not his schedule. Baited & casted for my wife and then let her reel'em in. Pleasant to have conversations with while we fished. Had specific spots for Spec's and then Red's, and we got some of both. He worked hard to make sure we caught fish and we got every bit of the 6hr trip we booked. He's an experienced, wise, and good man. We're coming back, with friends!

  Experienced, Responsive, and Enthusiastic Guide

  Full Day Trip on March 19, 2026 • 2 adults

  Great charter in Rockport, TX! John was a responsive, flexible, relaxed, and enthusiastic guide for our group of four. His knowledge of the bay landed us our limit before the morning was over, and we all went home with cleaned fish ready for the grill! His boat was clean and well-maintained, and the seats made for a comfy ride to and from the dock. Highly recommend this charter for fisherman of all levels. Hassle Free, Professional, and a Whole Lotta Fun!
