About Your Trip

Join Captain Payton for an exciting 2-day fishing trip in the waters around Padre Island and Corpus Christi. You'll have the chance to catch a variety of inshore species, with a focus on the famous Texas "Big Three": Redfish, Trout, and Flounder. Using light tackle in the bays, you'll have plenty of opportunities to reel in these fun and delicious fish. Captain Payton may even have some secret techniques up his sleeve, depending on the day's weather and tides!

You'll be fishing aboard a 24' Stoner center console with a capacity for 4 guests, powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine. This lightweight vessel will take you to all the prime fishing spots on the Corpus coast, ensuring you have the best possible chance of catching fish.

All fishing equipment is provided, and bottled water is available on the boat. You're welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks, but don't forget to bring your Texas fishing license. Captain Payton will take care of everything else to ensure you have a fantastic fishing experience!

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
