  • One of the fantastic aspects of the Rockport-Fulton area is the year-round availability of fishing opportunities!

  • Typically, fishing trips last around 6 to 7 hours, but if you reach your fish limit earlier, we may conclude the excursion ahead of schedule.

  • While we strongly advocate for conservation efforts, we wholeheartedly respect your decision to stay within legal limits or catch a few fish for a delectable meal.

  • Rest assured, our commitment to your safety is unwavering. Our boats are meticulously outfitted with essential safety equipment, including Life Jackets (PFDs), a first aid kit, fire extinguishers, and emergency signaling devices. Before every journey, thorough inspections ensure that our vessels are in optimal working condition, both mechanically and structurally. Additionally, we're proud subscribers to TowBoat US, providing added peace of mind by offering assistance for any unforeseen issues while on board.

    When it comes to weather, your safety remains our top priority. We closely monitor forecasts and conditions before each excursion, ready to adjust plans or even postpone trips if necessary to ensure your safety. However, it's worth noting that adverse weather often creates prime fishing conditions. With Captain Mike Ferri at the helm, you'll benefit from his extensive knowledge of the bay systems and adept navigation skills, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey regardless of the weather.

  • We delight in welcoming anglers of all ages to explore and enjoy our bay systems. However, please consider that a full day of fishing typically spans 7 hours, which may be lengthy for younger children. Rest assured, we're dedicated to accommodating families and ensuring everyone has a memorable and enjoyable experience.

  • In the event of a weather-related cancellation, rest assured that we've got you covered. You'll receive a credit automatically for a future trip, ensuring that your fishing adventure isn't lost. Additionally, if conditions allow, we'll gladly explore the possibility of rescheduling your trip for later in the day, providing flexibility and options to ensure you make the most of your time on the water.

  • Our airboat can comfortably accommodate up to 4 anglers alongside Captain Mike Ferri. If your group exceeds this capacity, fear not! We're more than happy to arrange multiple boats to ensure everyone in your party can join in on the adventure.

  • It is the angler's responsibility to purchase a fishing license before the fishing trip. Licenses can be conveniently purchased through the Texas Parks and Wildlife website or locally at Tackle Town.
