trip description for Texas Coast Cast and Blast in Rockport

If you've been looking for the perfect trip to kick off the duck season and stock up on keeper fish, this trip is for you! On this "cast and blast" adventure, you'll start off the day with duck-hunting from a blind, then after lunch you'll head out to do some inshore fishing. There's no better way to take advantage of the natural beauty of the South Texas coast! Located smack in the middle of the Central Flyway, the South Coast of Texas is an annual stopover for millions of ducks, which come to rest in the protected bays and inshore waters while they migrate. Species here include Green-Winged and Blue-Winged Teals, Cinnamon Teals, Wigeons, Redheads, Pintails, Gadwalls, and Mottled Ducks—all of which are a blast to shoot and great to eat as well. In addition, the rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico make this area one of the richest inshore fisheries in the US, with trophy Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Drum and more just waiting to be caught. Your outfitter, Brody, will provide everything you need for a spectacular day, including blinds, decoys, rods, reels, and tackle. All you need to bring is a pair of waders, your camo gear, your gun, and your shells. If you have wingshooting and/or fishing experience, this is a perfect way to hit your limit on multiple species! If you're still new to the outdoors life, this is a great way to improve your skills alongside a top-notch guide. Get out there and see what the Texas coast has to offer! Read More

    James was awesome! He had us a 3 man limit on trout in the first hour on the water. Fishing conditions were amazing though so that really helped! He was extremely knowledgeable in his trade as a fishing guide and extremely fun to hang out with! We will definitely be getting with James again in the near future for another trip!

    Great fishing trip. Shayne communicated with us prior to the trip answering an questions we had. He picked us up right on time and we got right to the fishing. Wind was howling and seemed to get higher as the night went on. We had chosen the night trip because that was the only time we could go and we love night fishing anyway. Not too many guides offer that. He took us into protected areas and we had a blast. Fish were not cooperating, but he worked hard to get us on some fish that were feeding. Got two really nice redfish and one keeper speck. Just want to thank Shayne for a great overall experience! J and J.

    My son and I went out with Rueben and had a great time. It was a windy day and the fish weren’t initially biting but he took us to a bunch of different spots and we hauled in a few redfish. He was a great role model for my son who wants to be a fishing guide someday. Would definitely go out with him again.
