Trip Overview

Picture this: You're gliding across glassy waters as the afternoon sun starts to dip, casting into pockets where monster reds and specks are waiting to ambush. Our Tuesday and Thursday trips are perfectly timed to hit that sweet spot when the fish are most active. We're not messing around with big groups here – it's just you, your fishing partner, and a guide who lives and breathes these waters. We'll zip you out to honey holes that most tourists never even hear about. And the best part? Everything you need is on board. Rods, reels, tackle, lures – heck, we've even got cold drinks to keep you hydrated while you're battling those bruiser reds.

What to Expect on the Water

Listen up, because here's where the rubber meets the road. We're talking sight-casting to tailing reds in skinny water, working topwaters over grass flats for explosive trout strikes, and maybe even blind-casting into deeper holes where the big girls hang out. Our guides are pros at reading the water and will show you exactly how to work your bait for maximum effect. We're flexible too – if you've got a favorite technique, we'll make it happen. But if you want to learn some local tricks, just say the word. We might throw some popping corks, drift with live shrimp, or chunk soft plastics on a jighead. The name of the game is adapting to what the fish want, and trust me, we'll figure it out.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Let me tell you, there's a reason why Arroyo City is a bucket-list destination for serious inshore anglers. The diversity of fishing here is off the charts. One minute you're sight-fishing for reds in gin-clear shallows, the next you're battling a gator trout in a deep channel. And it's not just about the fishing – it's about being out there when the bay is at its most serene. As the day winds down, you might see pelicans diving for bait or even catch a glimpse of a pod of dolphins. It's the kind of place that gets under your skin, where every trip ends with plans for the next one.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish: These copper-colored bruisers are the crown jewels of Texas inshore fishing. In Arroyo City, we're talking about reds that'll test your drag and your biceps. They love to hang around structure and in the shallows, often giving themselves away with their signature 'tailing' behavior. When a big red takes your bait, hold on tight – these guys can peel off 50 yards of line in seconds. The thrill of watching a red track down your lure in clear water is something every angler needs to experience.

Speckled Trout: Don't let the name fool you – there's nothing small about the specks in Arroyo City. These spotted beauties are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. We target them over grass flats and along dropoffs, often using topwater lures for heart-stopping surface action. The bigger trout, affectionately called 'gator trout' by locals, are prized catches that can push well over 5 pounds. There's nothing quite like the soft 'thump' of a big trout inhaling your lure.

Snook: While not as common as reds and trout, snook are a special treat in Arroyo City waters. These ambush predators love to hang around structure and can explode on your bait without warning. Known for their acrobatic leaps and powerful runs, hooking into a snook is like lighting a stick of dynamite on the end of your line. They're notoriously picky eaters, which makes fooling one even more rewarding.
