Fishing

Get in on some of the hottest fishing action on the Texas coast. Speckled trout, redfish, and flounder are all plentiful here. Your kayak can take you places the guys in the bay boats can only dream about. We'll answer questions to help you catch fish (what to use, where to go, etc.). We can even take you on a guided fishing tour. You can fish right from your kayak, pull up to a beach to cast off, or wade in shallow waters.

Sneak up on those "tailin' redfish" in the skinny water.
