Had a great trip with Captain Cory. He always seems to find the fish. We came home with a cooler full. This is my fifth year of going with Captain Cory. I can’t imagine going with anyone else.

This marks my inaugural experience in bay fishing. Prior to this expedition, I had consistently attempted fishing at the lake, but my efforts had been consistently unsuccessful. However, under the guidance of Captain Corey, I was able to successfully catch five large redfish. I extend my sincere gratitude for the invaluable experience you provided.

Trip - Discounted Fishing Trip in Port Aransas for Subscribers on August 20, 2025

Our trip with Captain Cory was absolutely fantastic! I brought my 8-year-old twin boys, who are obsessed with fishing, and this experience exceeded our expectations completely. Captain Cory was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip fun and memorable for the kids. He took the time to teach them, keep them engaged, and celebrate every catch—big or small. His passion for fishing and working with kids really shows, and my sons felt happy the whole time. They haven't stopped talking about it since, and they've already asked when they can go back. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you're looking for a family-friendly fishing adventure, Captain Cory is the one to book! Highly recommend—we’ll definitely be back for the next year!
