August 21, 2026 Rockport Repeat-Angler Full-Day Trip

It was great having Chance Combs back on the boat for another year. Chance and one other angler joined me for a full day on the Rockport bay waters, and we put together a productive trip with black drum, a solid dockside catch, and plenty of time to enjoy the experience.

Returning customers mean a lot to me. Chance already knew how I run my trips, and I appreciated the opportunity to work hard for him again and help both anglers get the most out of their day.

What's Biting

Black drum were part of the action during Chance's full-day trip. One photo shows a solid drum caught aboard the boat, and the dockside photo shows the catch we brought back at the end of the day.

The photos tell the story of a productive day, but the best part of a full-day charter is the time it gives us to work. I can make adjustments, help each angler, and keep looking for the next opportunity without rushing the experience. For more about black drum and the other fish we commonly target, visit the Texas Crew'd species guide.

Captain Blake's Notes

Every guest comes aboard with a different level of experience. Some have fished for years, while others may be holding saltwater tackle for the first time. I want both to feel comfortable, involved, and confident throughout the day.

That means I explain what we are doing, help with the rods and gear when needed, and stay patient while each angler gets settled in. I also keep working to put the boat in the best position I can as conditions and the bite change.

Fishing never comes with guarantees, but preparation, effort, local knowledge, and personal attention are things I can bring to every charter. Chance returning for a second year—and already looking forward to the next trip—is exactly the kind of experience I work to create.

Guest FEEDBACK

Chance shared that this was his second year fishing with me. He appreciated how I work with new fishermen and how dedicated I am to putting guests in the best position for success.

“Looking forward to my next trip with him.” — Chance Combs

That is the kind of feedback I love to hear. A return trip tells me a guest enjoyed more than the catch—it means the service, instruction, effort, and full experience made them want to come back.

What This Means For Anglers

If you are new to fishing, you do not need to arrive knowing everything. I provide the boat, rods, reels, tackle, bait, and personal instruction. I will walk you through the process, help when you need it, and keep the day relaxed and enjoyable.

Experienced anglers are welcome too. Whether you want patient instruction, a full day to work the water, or another trip with a captain you already trust, I will build the experience around your group.
