1 spot left for the open boat tomorrow wading throwing artificials down in Laguna/baffin. 150$ BYOWG.
Hell of a day of catching on a two boat trip with Landon Enderson. Caught a lot of fish and had some badass laughs with new clients from west Texas. Even had a stingray boat flip session! Let us know, we can accommodate big groups anytime.
Aransas Pass Fishing Report – Week of June 10, 2025 Fishing in Aransas Pass is heating up right along with the weather. Summer patterns are settling in, and anglers are seeing steady action across the bays, flats, and channels. Redfish are cruising the shallow flats early in the morning, especially around Lighthouse Lakes and Redfish Bay. They're hitting cut mullet, shrimp, and soft plastics with gold spoons also doing the trick. Midday, they’re pushing deeper, but sight-casting on the edges can still produce. Speckled trout are stacked up along the drop-offs and deeper grass pockets in East Flats and California Hole. Live shrimp under a popping cork is getting it done, but those drifting with soft plastics like Down South Lures or paddle tails are landing solid slot fish too. Flounder are hanging near structure and in sandy potholes—look around Conn Brown Harbor and the edges of Aransas Channel. Gulp baits and finger mullet are producing decent bites, especially during moving tides. Black drum are feeding well around oyster reefs and channel edges. Dead shrimp on the bottom is a go-to, and there have been reports of some oversized ones bending rods near the ferry landing. Tips for the week: Fish early or late to beat the heat and catch more active fish. Incoming tides have been the most productive. Watch for slicks and bird activity to locate trout quickly. Whether you're wading the flats, poling a skiff, or heading offshore, Aransas Pass is offering solid action right now. Stay safe, stay hydrated, and enjoy the South Texas bite!

I’ve been fishing with Marvin at Wade It Out Guide Service since 2019, and I can't recommend him enough for an incredible wade fishing experience! Marvin is a great guy, and his trips are always a blast. Some folks may hesitate about open boat trips, but I’ve never been with a bad group of people, and I always make new friends in the fishing world. Honestly, it’s my favorite way to fish now!

We went on a fishing trip with Captain “Coach” and had a great time. He was patient and kind with the kids and took us up and down the bay to fish. Very knowledgeable and made sure we were doing everything we could to make it happen for us. We recommend Marvin for your guided fishing trips!! Thanks for the memories Coach!

Fished with Marvin on the 6th of July. My first "open boat" trip. It was a dandy, we caught trout and redfish on top waters, and a young lad fishing with his dad, even managed a Texas Slam on soft plastics. When the bite slowed at our first spot, we loaded up the boat and headed to another bay. We finished the day limiting out with slot reds, even releasing a few oversized reds. Heck of a good guy, and he worked his tail off to keep us on fish. 5 STARS

Went fishing with Captain Marvin on a location trip and was highly impressed and got way more than what I payed for. The Wade it Out experience will give you full insight and wading experience whether you’re a novice or an expert. Captain Marvin was really knowledgeable about Matagorda Bay and put everybody on fish and helped to make me feel comfortable while out on the water. I caught my PB trout at the end of the day, and it was worth all the searching and grinding. If you want a real Texas Wade experience that’s not a blow to your wallet, Call Captain Marvin at Wade it Out and I promise you will make memories and have a blast.
