What's the Deal?

Picture this: You're cruising the Texas coastline at dawn, the smell of salt in the air and the promise of a killer day ahead. Captain Justin's got years of experience under his belt, and he knows these waters like the back of his hand. You'll be hitting all the sweet spots – from grass flats to oyster reefs – where the fish are stacked up and ready to play. With top-notch gear in your hands and a pro guide calling the shots, you're in for a day of non-stop action. And hey, with room for two on the boat, you can bring your fishing buddy along for the ride. Just remember to pack some grub – this is an 8-hour marathon, and you'll want to keep your energy up when that big red decides to take you for a Nantucket sleigh ride.

Rods, Reels, and Tactics

On this trip, we're talking serious inshore fishing. Captain Justin's got the playbook dialed in, and he'll have you on fish faster than you can say "tight lines." You might start off sight-casting to tailing reds in the shallows – there's nothing quite like watching a big bull red crush your topwater in knee-deep water. When the sun gets high, we'll switch it up and maybe drift some live bait for those hard-pulling jacks. And let's not forget about the trout – these guys are suckers for a well-presented soft plastic under a popping cork. The beauty of inshore fishing is the variety – one minute you're finessing a trout, the next you're hanging on for dear life as a jack peels line off your reel. Captain Justin's got all the gear you need, from light tackle setups for those finicky trout to heavier stuff when the big boys come to play. And don't worry if you're new to this – he'll show you the ropes and have you casting like a pro in no time.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Jack Crevalle: These bruisers are like the freight trains of the inshore world. When a jack hits, you better hold on tight – they're known for blistering runs that'll have you seeing your backing in seconds. Jacks love to hunt in packs, so when you find one, there's usually more nearby. They're not the best eating, but pound for pound, they're some of the hardest fighting fish in these waters. Look for them busting bait on the surface – that's when the fun really starts.

Spotted Seatrout: Ah, the speckled trout – a Texas inshore staple. These guys are the bread and butter of many coastal anglers, and for good reason. They're abundant, great to eat, and can be downright finicky at times, making them a fun challenge. Trout love to hang around structure, so we'll be targeting grass beds, oyster reefs, and channel edges. The bigger ones, we call them "gator trout," are trophy fish that'll test your skills and make for some great photos. Early morning and late evening are prime time for topwater action – there's nothing like seeing a big trout explode on your lure.

Redfish: Now we're talking – the bulldogs of the flats. Redfish, or red drum if you're feeling fancy, are a favorite target for good reason. They pull like a truck, love to eat just about anything you throw at them, and boy, do they taste good on the grill. We'll be looking for their copper backs and spotted tails in the shallows, or targeting them around structure in deeper water. When the reds are on the feed, it's non-stop action. And if we're lucky, we might even run into a school of bull reds – those oversized bruisers that'll make your arms ache in the best way possible.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Let's be real – once you've experienced the kind of fishing Captain Justin offers, you'll be itching to get back out there. The Texas coast is a special place, with a mix of habitats that support an incredible fishery. One day you're sight-casting to tailing reds in gin-clear water, the next you're battling jacks in the surf. And the best part? Every trip is different. The tides, the weather, the bait movements – it all plays a part in where the fish will be and how they'll behave. That's where Captain Justin's experience comes in handy. He's got the local knowledge to put you on fish, rain or shine. Plus, there's just something about being out on the water, away from the hustle and bustle, that keeps folks coming back for more.
