What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Rockport, Texas for the first time?

Yes, Captain Trey Hudson was very professional and friendly. Trey is very skilled for his age and experience level. Trey was very helpful and patient. I realize that he is relatively new to the guide service. Hopefully in the near future he will be able to upgrade and improve his fishing craft. The flat bottom front (bow) and the main floor of the vessel does not take the moderate waves experienced in the bay area we fished. The bumpy ride is though on us old guys as we crossed the open water section of the trip. His boat is designed like an air boat for less drag across very shallow water. Peter J. Czerwinski

Call your guide and find out about fishing conditions. We planned this trip 2 months in advance and knew it could be hit or miss. This time it was miss

Get someone that know the waters like Capt. Matthew Valdez does..he knew where to position his boat..and all we had to do is cast out and we were on fish

I don't even pretend to be knowledgeable enough to offer fishing advice to anyone.

Be prepared for south TX weather! It could be freezing with the wind on the boat one minute and the next you're burning up.

You have to have a guide for much of a chance to catch fish. Difficult and limited fishing only from shore.

We came home with lots of fish and had an amazing time with Captain Jared/First Light. He made fishing in Rockport fun and exciting!

Very beautiful seashore and landscape variety and diversity of fish and aquatic scenery well worth the journey to Rockport

Jon is a great guide! He is personable & made sure we enjoyed ourselves.The equipment was clean & well maintained. It was a memory of a lifetime.

The captain does all the fishing, you just bring in the fish, if your a first time fisher this would be what you might like.. if you like like boat rides then you'll like the trip

You bet. There's plenty of fish if you get the right guide and there's plenty of them available in Rockport. Use the fishing booker website if you're not sure who's a good guide.

Always be checking the weather report. The wind is the most important part that will play into how successful your day will be.

Look up Flattie Daddy for any of your saltwater fishing plans. Captain knows his hot spots and is good with all ages.

Call Captain Jim at (512) 393-9305 and you will be pleasantly surprised. He is very knowledgeable and has a sense of where the fish are. We will definitely contact him again on our next adventure!

Bring sun screen, hats, and comfortable shoes. The water may be calm one spot and rough in the next.

Book a guide.The bay has changed since Harvey.Only seasoned professional .guides will know where the fish have relocated.Capt Hauser is your man for Rockport.

Be sure your guide has an assortment of bait so you have options to use if one doesn’t work
