About Your Trip

Come explore the shallows of the Bolivar Peninsula with Captain Ray!

You’ll be fishing aboard Captain Ray’s 25' Boston Whaler center console. This beast is equipped with a GPS, fishfinder, ice box, and a wireless trolling motor, which will help you sneak up on easily spooked fish. When targeting Blacktip Sharks, there’s a very high chance you could reel in a fish 6 feet or larger!

Captain Ray will provide all rods, reels, and tackle. Bring a valid Texas saltwater fishing license, a cooler to take home your day’s catch, food, and drinks of your choice.

Learn to fish new techniques and create lasting memories on the water while reeling in your personal best with Captain Ray!

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!
