What to Expect on the Water

From the moment you step aboard Captain Larry's slick Haynie, you know you're in for a treat. This ain't no leisurely cruise – we're talking about four solid hours of fish-finding action. Captain Larry knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you'll be hitting the honey holes where the fish are biting. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, he'll make sure you're on the fish and having a blast. And hey, if you're staying in Port A and don't want to drive to Aransas Pass, no sweat! For an extra 25 bucks, Captain Larry can scoop you up right at Fisherman's Wharf in Port Aransas. Just remember to select that "Port A Meeting" option when you book.

Techniques & Tackle Talk

On this trip, we'll be using tried-and-true inshore fishing methods to put you on the fish. Expect to do some drift fishing over grass flats, sight casting in the shallows, or working structure along channel edges. Captain Larry's got a full arsenal of rods, reels, and tackle on board, all rigged up and ready to go. You might be tossing soft plastics, working topwater lures, or soaking some live bait – it all depends on what the fish are hungry for that day. And don't worry if you're new to this stuff. The Captain's always happy to show you the ropes, from how to work a lure to the best way to set the hook when you get a bite.

What Anglers Are Saying

"Very knowledgeable guide. We left the dock and stopped at one location and hit our limit on trout. We had two younger boys with us(12&9). He was really great with them and took the time to teach them. Will definitely use him again." - Cody

"We had booked with Larry for April but the weather got too bad. He was terrific in working with us so we re-booked in June. The weather was perfect and Larry kept us on fish. We could only keep six but we brought in 16 trout, three catfish and one tenacious crab. He also teaches as you go so that you've not only had a good time but learned something as well. We highly recommend Larry." - Julia

"Second time with Captain Larry and again did not disappoint! Limited out on some good reds, great conversations and always a great time. The only guide we'll book in Rockport or Port A! Thanks Larry!!!" - Ty

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish: These copper-colored beauties are the crown jewels of Texas inshore fishing. Known for their hard-pulling fights and that distinctive black spot on their tail, redfish can range from "rat reds" of a couple pounds up to bull reds topping 40 inches. They love to cruise the shallows, often revealing their location with their tails sticking out of the water as they root for crabs and shrimp. Fall is prime time for reds, but you can catch 'em year-round in the Coastal Bend.

Speckled Trout: Also called spotted seatrout, these guys are the bread and butter of inshore fishing around here. They're known for their delicate flavor and their willingness to hit artificial lures. Specks can be found in the bays year-round, but they really turn on in the spring and fall. When you find a school, it's not uncommon to catch one after another. And there's nothing quite like the excitement of a big speck blowing up on a topwater lure at dawn.

Black Drum: Often overlooked but always fun to catch, black drum are like the bulldogs of the bay. They're not the prettiest fish out there, but what they lack in looks they make up for in fight. These bottom-feeders can grow to massive sizes, with some old-timers topping 50 pounds. We usually target the smaller "puppy drum" in the 2-10 pound range, which are excellent eating. Spring is the best time to catch them, especially around oyster reefs and channel edges.
