Inshore Fishing
Six-hour inshore redfish fishing adventure in Aransas Pass watersExpert guides provide personalized instruction for all skill levelsMaximum two guests aboard well-equipped Maudi V vessel
When you're looking for serious redfish action without burning a whole day, this six-hour charter with Let The Good Times Roll Guide Service hits the sweet spot. Captain and crew know these Aransas Pass waters like the back of their hand, and they'll put you on fish whether you've been chasing reds for years or just picked up your first rod. The Maudi V is built for these inshore runs - stable, spacious enough for two anglers to fish comfortably, and powered by a reliable 150hp Suzuki that'll get you to the hot spots fast and quiet.
You'll launch right from Aransas Pass and head into some of the most productive redfish waters on the Texas coast. These aren't tourist spots - we're talking about the real deal where locals have been pulling copper-colored beauties for generations. The boat's designed for shallow water work, so you'll slide into grass flats, work oyster reefs, and maybe even get up into some back lakes where the big girls like to hang out. Six hours gives you time to really fish, not just wet a line. You'll cover different structures and depths depending on tides, wind, and what the fish are telling us. Some days they're aggressive and hitting topwater right at the boat. Other days you're working soft plastics slow and methodical through the grass. Either way, you're going to learn something new about how these fish think.
Redfish aren't picky about presentation, but they definitely have preferences depending on conditions. You'll likely start with live or cut bait if the bite's been consistent - nothing beats a fresh shrimp or finger mullet when reds are feeding heavy. When they're spooky or the water's gin clear, we switch to artificials. Soft plastics rigged weedless work magic in the grass beds, and you'll learn to feel that subtle thump when a red inhales your paddle tail. Topwater action happens more than you'd think, especially during morning and evening hours when baitfish are active near the surface. The guide provides all tackle and bait, but if you've got a favorite setup, bring it along. Most of the fishing happens in two to six feet of water, perfect for sight fishing when conditions allow. You'll learn to read the signs - nervous baitfish, swirls in the grass, and those telltale copper flashes that get your heart pumping.
"Good trip. Awesome captain." - Dylan
Redfish are the main event here, and Aransas Pass serves up some of the most consistent red drum fishing on the Gulf Coast. These copper-colored fighters typically run anywhere from 18 inches up to 30-plus pounds, with the slot-size fish (20-28 inches in Texas) being perfect for the dinner table. Spring through fall offers the most predictable action, but don't count out winter fishing when cold fronts push baitfish into deeper pockets where reds congregate. What makes redfish so addictive is their attitude - they're aggressive feeders that'll crush baits in shallow water where you can watch the whole show unfold. A good red will make multiple runs, use its broad tail to dig deep, and test your drag system. The bigger specimens, called bull reds, are pure muscle and endurance. They might not jump like a tarpon, but they'll take you into your backing and make you question whether your knots are tied right. Year-round residents in these waters, redfish adapt to seasonal patterns that experienced guides know by heart. Summer finds them scattered across grass flats during cooler hours, while winter concentrates them in deeper cuts and channels where water temperatures stay more stable.
Six hours on the water with a captain who knows where the fish live - that's what separates a good fishing trip from just another boat ride. Let The Good Times Roll Guide Service has built their reputation on putting clients on fish consistently, not just showing them around the bay. With only two anglers per trip, you get personal attention and plenty of room to fish without tangling lines or fighting for space. The Aransas Pass area stays productive throughout most of the year, but prime dates fill up fast during peak seasons. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or looking to introduce someone new to saltwater fishing, this trip delivers the goods without the full-day commitment. Book your spot now and get ready to bend some rods on fish that fight as hard as they taste good.
Get ready to chase redfish aboard our 22-foot Maudi V, powered by a reliable 150hp Suzuki that'll get you to the fishing grounds fast. This well-equipped boat cuts through Aransas Pass waters at 40 knots, putting you on productive flats and structure where the reds are biting. With GPS navigation keeping us on the best spots and room for up to 2 anglers, you'll have plenty of space to work your lines without crowding. The shallow draft design lets us slip into those skinny water haunts where big redfish love to cruise and feed. Perfect for serious anglers who want to maximize their time on the water targeting these hard-fighting copper rockets.
