Outstanding trip

Half Day Trip (AM)2 adults

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 wait to book another trip. Five stars all the way!

    We had the time of our lives!!!

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    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 was incredible. We started getting bites almost immediately and the action never let up. We couldn't have scripted a better ending either. On our very last cast, my wife and I doubled up! If you're looking for a guide who truly cares about your experience and not just putting fish in the boat, look no further than Smiley's Guide Service. We'll absolutely be back. Highly recommend!

    Awesome Trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    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. He was able to get us one trout short of our 3 person bag limit and had several spots in mind for us to fish. If we caught a few gaftops, we would move a few minutes away and try there. This kept us catching keeper trout at 2 or 3 spots and having lots of action the whole trip. We would highly reccomend captain Will to everyone and will be using his services again.

    Great time on the water

    7 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing • 3 adults

    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.

    Great time

    7 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing • 4 adults

    We do a company fishing trip every summer. Smiley was great. Conditions were tough and he still found a way to get us on some fish. Hoping I can book him again for this next year. This is my 6th year doing this with a different guide each time and he was the best one
