Before you book

Questions we get at the dock

Ask us anything
  1. 01

    Do I need my own fishing license?

    Yes. Anyone 17 or older needs a Texas fishing license with a saltwater endorsement. You can buy a one-day license online before your trip, or bring your own. Our captain and vessel operate under a Texas All-Water Fishing Guide License.

  2. 02

    What is included in the price?

    Rods, reels, tackle, bait, and ice for every trip, plus fuel and a licensed captain and crew. Your first two fish per person are cleaned and bagged at no charge. Bring your own food, drinks, and sunscreen.

  3. 03

    What happens if the weather is bad?

    Safety decides, not the schedule. If we cancel for weather or sea conditions, you get a full refund or a free reschedule, your choice.

  4. 04

    What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

    Let us know at least 48 hours before your trip for a full refund or a free reschedule. Inside 48 hours, it becomes a rain check toward a future trip rather than a refund.

  5. 05

    When is red snapper season?

    The Gulf Council sets the recreational red snapper season each year, typically a window in summer. Dates are confirmed in late spring. Get on the list early for the Red Snapper Special, it fills fast once dates are announced.

  6. 06

    Can beginners and kids come along?

    Absolutely. The Half-Day Bay & Jetty and Family Bay Trip are built for first-timers and kids, with an easy run and a captain who is used to teaching as we go.
