  Captain Kim saved the trip!

  5 Hour Trip on July 30, 2026 • 2 adults

  My grandson and I were half the way to Rockport, when our originally scheduled trip got cancelld because of boat problems. My son found Kim and he was available. He was straight forward as to what was biting and what was not. He was very good with my grandson teaching him the fishing technique. We had a great time. My grandson did all of the catching while I did all of the fishing. It was a great trip, and my grandson will never let me forget it. When we come back again, we will fish with Kim.

  This was our son in law and son’s forst time in a guided tour. Mr. Hines taught them so much and was very experienced and knowledgeable. We highly recommend him! It was more of an old school feel. So, if thats wht you like, he is the guy for you! they caught fish and had a blast! Thank you for giving our boys a fantastic first experience! We will definitely use him again!

  Mr Hines was humorous and knowledgeable. We limted out on trout despite lack of live bait options due to local tournament happening same day as our trip. Great guide.

  Best trip and captain ever!

  5 Hour Trip on July 2, 2026 • 3 adults

  Captain Kim was amazing! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Limited out on trout and tried to catch reds. we had never been on this type of trip and this set the bar high for future trips. We will never use another captain! Thank you for the amazing memories!

  Special thanks to Billy, Stephanie and son Dallas. Folks like you make a Captains job fun. You caught on really fast for never trout fishing with croaker before. Thank you again for choosing Hines Guide Service.

  Great Experience

  5 Hour Trip on July 4, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  No better way to spend 4th of July than catching fish, and that exactly what we did. Captain Hines was great to be around on top of the knowledge and experience he had to provide. Will be going back 100%.
