4C’s Guide Service delivers guided inshore saltwater fishing trips on the productive waters of Carancahua Bay along the Texas Gulf Coast. Led by Captain Clay, who brings 40 years of fishing experience, these trips focus on local knowledge, steady action, and a relaxed on-the-water experience for anglers of all skill levels.

Carancahua Bay is known for healthy populations of Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Black Drum. Depending on conditions and target species, guests may be drift fishing open water, working shallow flats, fishing structure, or bottom fishing productive areas. Every trip is adjusted based on tides, weather, and fish movement to give you the best possible chance at success.

You’ll fish aboard a 25’ Mowdy bay boat (2020) powered by a 250HP Suzuki engine, built for stability, comfort, and access to shallow Texas waters. The vessel accommodates up to 6 guests and comes fully equipped with all essential gear, including rods, reels, tackle, and bait provided by the captain.

Trips are designed to be family-friendly and welcoming for beginners and experienced anglers alike. Children are welcome onboard, making this a great opportunity for families to enjoy a day on the water together. Guests are encouraged to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, snacks, and drinks for comfort during the trip.

Fishing styles may include drift fishing, wade fishing, jetty fishing, live bait fishing, and bottom fishing depending on conditions and target species. Captain Clay’s hands-on approach ensures guests not only fish but also learn techniques and local patterns throughout the trip.

A valid Texas fishing license is required for all guests prior to departure. Fish cleaning is included so you can take your catch home ready to enjoy.

Whether you’re booking a relaxing family trip or a focused inshore fishing experience, 4C’s Guide Service offers a true Texas coastal fishing day built on experience, local waters, and consistent inshore action.
