Out of the beautiful Port Aransas in Texas, Port Aransas Guide Service and Captain Brian Cibulka offer a wide range of fishing trips. From inshore, nearshore, and offshore spots, to wreck and flats fishing, you'll definitely find your perfect trip. What's special about this charter is that you can also have custom excursions including sightseeing and wakeboarding.
 
Come aboard a fully equipped 23' Parker center console powered by a 225 HP Yamaha four stroke engine. The boat takes up to 4 guests and there's plenty of space for the whole family. She's got a full navigation system, outriggers, downriggers, snorkeling and spearfishing equipment, as well as a wireless trolling motor, livewell, and ice-box.  There's even a private toilet. Captain Brian always strives to create a family atmosphere on the boat, so feel free to bring your kids as well.

Some of the fish you'll meet include Red Snapper, Red Drum, Snook, Sheepshead, and Mahi Mahi. The choice of techniques you'll use is huge: trolling, spinning, jigging, popping, as well as bottom, deep sea, fly, drift fishing, and spearfishing. While Captain Brian encourages releasing fish back to the water, you're also allowed to keep it. And for a few extra bucks, he'll clean it and fillet it for you.

You're covered for all the gear. Penn tackle, lures, and live bait are all included in the price. Pack whatever snacks and drink you want, bring your licenses, and you're totally set to go.

Book a trip at Port Aransas Guide Service and have some superb time on the water.

    UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS

    5 Hour Inshore Trip on September 18, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    My wife and I took our 3 grandchildren on Brian Cibulka’s boat. it was the best time ever. watching Brian interact with our grandchildren (that have never fished on a boat before) our grandchildren are 5,8 and 11. Brian was so patient and knew exactly how to explain everything to the kids. We will be using Brian from now on. Thank you Brian for taking my family on an adventure that we will never forget

    Great day! Even better guide.

    5 Hour Inshore Trip on October 24, 2026 • 3 adults

    Capt. Brian was great. Its one thing to catch fish but to have a guide that is fun to spend 5 hours with and makes the new guys and the seasoned vets all say I’d fish with him again in a heartbeat is a true testament to how great the day was.

    Family Friendly!!

    5 Hour Inshore Trip on June 24, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had a great morning with Brian and he was super patient and helpful with our children (13 and 8). We were able to catch some keeper black drum and he tried so hard to find some other spots with big fish! We caught a ton of small red fish as well, but none we could keep. Really great guide that works hard and is incredibly personable and kind!

    Best Fishing Trip Ever

    5 Hour Inshore Trip - 1:00 PM on July 3, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Brian, a.k.a. Yellow Boat Brian, really knows the hot fishing spots! I would book him again! He was very personable and asked multiple questions about what type of fishing we wanted to do. Captain Brian made the fishing experience fun for my entire family. He was definitely a five star guide!

    We have found our Port Aransas Captain!

    8 Hour Inshore Trip on November 8, 2025 • 5 adults

    Captain Brian was a tireless, knowledgeable, and personable guide who made our trip unforgettable! Even when the bite was slow, he never stopped working — constantly making adjustments until we were onto giant fish. The trip ended with all four of us hooking into bull reds within five minutes — what an absolute blast! Highly recommend Captain Brian for anyone looking for an exciting and professional fishing experience.

    Perfect day fishing in the wind

    5 Hour Inshore Trip on November 7, 2025 • 6 adults

    The conditions were not perfect. Windy and choppy. However Captain Brian got us on fish. We slammed a bunch of reds. We brought a group of teenager boys. Our captain made them feel safe and kept us energised for the entire trip. The boat was big enough and strurdy with a high hull so walking around the console fighting fish was seamless. Great day on the water 👍👍👍

Some members in my party were getting sea sick and he was super accommodating about it! He took us back to the docks for a little bit before going back out! We were also really slow to catch, but he was super determinded to take us to good spots to find fish, which we did!
