We booked an afternoon half-day trip with Capt. Will and it was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve ever had on the water. From the moment we stepped aboard, he was the perfect combination of professional and personable. He is the kind of guide who makes you feel like you’re fishing with a lifelong friend, not someone you just met. Capt. Will went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I were comfortable and having a great time from start to finish. And the fishing? It... More

We had an amazing time with Smiley’s fishing guide service! From start to finish, everything was professional, well-organized, and a lot of fun. Captain Will was knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to help us catch fish. We left the marina and just about 2 hours later we were already maxed out on fish Whether you’re an experienced fisher or just looking for a fun day on the water, I highly recommend Smiley’s. We made great memories, learned a few new techniques, and can’t... More

We had a wonderful time with Smiley’s Guide Service in Rockport.  Captain William was patient with our 5 year old and us as novice fishermen.

We had a great time out on the water with Captain Will. When we talked the day before our trip, he told us trout was great and reds were not. That was the case for us. We had our trout limit in about 2 hours and looked for reds the rest of the trip. We did manage 1 red but unfortunately it was undersized. Overall we caught several more trout in addition to our 9 keepers. Some were oversized and some were undersized. We also caught several gafftop and hard heads as well.

Smiley was super!  We went out for an afternoon trip when the wind was blowing 20-30.  He planned a route that didn’t beat us up and then found fishing where the wind was hardly a factor.  We limited on Speckled trout and he couldn’t have been nicer.  When the bite slowed, we moved to another area.  Afterwards, he cleaned the fish and bagged them for us!!!
