First, Jared was a very good guide and went out of his way to put us in spots to catch fish; however, the fish just were not biting as expected. caught first Red with 20 minutes of casting and we expected this would be a great day if fishing, but for the remainder of our trip we only caught 1 more Red that we could keep. we did catch a few little Reds and catfish that had to be let go. Jared took us to multiple areas trying to get us more but it just wasn’t happening. Jared was very talkative and explained everything to us. However, even with the limited fish we caught, I would recommend Jared as a guide for others.

Our guide and skipper made our day extremely special we caught all the fish we’d hoped and even though the wind was quite strong he put us on the reds! thank you Jared Huffman fo a fabulous time we’re definitely coming back for more.

bring a smile and leave behind any expectations

dont forget SPF

Fishing was a bit slow this morning, but Jared was an amazing guide and did what he could to put us on some Reds. He was very patient (young kid that would rather play than hold a fishing rod) and friendly and we finally landed a couple keepers. Highly recommend and will try to use him again in the future.

Captain Jared is a great guy.  We got caught by a storm early in our trip which was the only disappointment but nothing any Captain can control but I will say that within an hour we had 2 Red keepers and if that storm wouldn’t happened then I was already preparing to hook up the rest of the trip. Both my Son and Law are super ready to get down there and do it all over with no storm. By the way also gave us some fishing around Port A without a boat. Son and Law wouldn’t get off the beach the rest of the weekend without a rod. Thank You Captain Jared. Once again look forward to the next trip!

My son (Moose) and I had the pleasure of spending a 5-hour trip on the water with Jared Huffman—better known around Port Aransas as Hookin’ Huffman—and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. While the fish weren’t exactly cooperating that day, it didn’t matter. Jared’s professionalism, energy, and deep knowledge of the waters made the experience unforgettable.

He had us laughing, learning, and completely engaged the entire time. The boat was spotless, the gear was top-notch, and Jared worked non-stop to put us on fish. It’s clear he takes pride in what he does, and even more clear that he truly cares about his clients having a great time—fish or no fish.

If you’re looking for a guide who knows his stuff, treats you like family, and makes the most out of every minute on the water, Hookin’ Huffman is your guy. Moose and I will absolutely be booking with Jared again—next time we’ll bring the fish with us!
