Awesome Guide with great spots!

Full Day Trip4 adults

Captain John is a friendly guide who makes sure everyone lands a catch even if the fish aren’t behaving. Great communication and directions to find the wharf, everyone in the group had a great time and John was patient with our amateur fishing skills. Highly recommend for all groups experienced to those just wanting to just get out on the water.

    Great day of fishing with an experenced guide

    Full Day Trip • 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 • 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!

    Solid day on Rockport Bay with Captain John!

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Highly recommended for serious fishermen or families alike. John knows the Rockport Bay and the pockets for Trout, Drum and Redfish in a variety of locations. He is also an educator on adjustments to your technique with clear explanation to improve your strike and catch results. First time we have fished with John but we will be back!

    A great trip. Good conversation. Lots of bites

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Target fish were black and red drum. It was windy enough to discourage Captain John from fishing some spots. We ended the day only a few fish short of our limits but not because we did not have enough of bites or fish on. I recommend always bring a wind resistant light weight jacket.

    Experienced, Responsive, and Enthusiastic Guide

    Full Day Trip • 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!
