Hey y’all, I’m Captain Corey Bickford, owner of Reel Adventures. If you’re headed to Rockport or Port Aransas and want to spend some time fishing, I’d love to take you out.

Whether you fish every weekend or have never held a rod, you’re welcome on my boat. I enjoy teaching people, especially kids. Watching someone figure it out and reel in their first fish never gets old. If you’ve got some experience and something specific you’d like to target, let’s talk about it.

We fish for redfish, speckled trout, black drum, flounder, and sheepshead in the bays and surrounding waters. I also offer coastal and nearshore trips when weather and conditions allow. Where we go and what we target will depend on the trip you choose, the season, and what the fish are doing.

All trips are private, so it’ll be your group and me. Bring the family, your fishing buddies, or come out on your own. I’ll help with everything from getting your bait in the water to cleaning your legal catch back at the dock.

Rods, reels, tackle, standard bait, ice, and water are provided. Bring your required fishing license, something to eat, sunscreen, and whatever else you’d like to drink.

If you’re unsure which trip to book, send me a message. Tell me who’s coming and what you’re hoping to do, and I’ll help you pick one.

NOTE:
Live shrimp, and or cut bait will be provided (availability, and season permitting)
Croaker, piggy perch and pin perch can be provided for an additional charge of cost. Questions? Please feel free to reach out to me!

    Birthday Fishing Adventure

    1/2 day pm bay fishing on September 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    For my son‘s 15th birthday, we hired Corey to help us catch some keeper reds for a fish fry the following day. The experience did not disappoint, as Captain Cory showed my son a side of Aransas Bay he had never seen. His boat allowed us to get into places that others simply were not going. Although we caught other fish, we only kept three reds—measuring 23, 25, and 28 inches. Out of all the years we’ve spent fishing together, my son said this adventure was the best. I will absolutely charter Reel Adventures with Captain Corey Bickford again.

    Captain Corey left such a great impression

    1/2 day pm bay fishing on June 24, 2026 • 4 adults

    Best experience I could have asked for! Captain Corey handled everything, and my 13 y.o. granddaughter and her 2 friends had a blast! We caught fish and watching them light up warmed my heart. Now we have 3 more hooked on fishing for life because Captain Corey can read his clients and communicates very well. He knows how to blend fishing and fun that's for sure. Would recommend to anyone .. Just catch him quick 😁

    Unforgettable 10/10 Experience!

    1/2 day pm bay fishing on June 20, 2026 • 2 adults

    Corey made this an unforgettable experience! When the radar picked up incoming storms, he kept us in the loop and we made the call together to head out anyway. That decision paid off because we had an incredible day on the water. Corey’s expertise, communication, and genuine passion for what he does made all the difference. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for an authentic fishing experience. 10/10!

    What a wonderful trip

    1/2 day bay fishing Rockport/Port A on October 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    The captain knew where the fish were, and ensured that we had a fun and fish filled trip! Caught limit fairly quickly, so we moved to another spot for a different type of fish. He did a great job fileting our catch. Will definitely book with him again.

    Chaos after the storm

    1/2 day pm bay fishing on June 17, 2026 • 4 adults

    Storm rolled into town, Corey monitored and worked around our schedule to still get us on the water. He then go us hooked up on fish as soon as we started casting. Corey educated us on proper technique and assisted us based on various experience levels. We caught our limit on trout and helped me catch my PB! Great communication from start to finish. Will be coming back!

    Great Fishing

    1/2 day bay fishing Rockport/Port A on April 22, 2026 • 4 adults

    This was a great trip during a shaky weather week. Captain Corey kept in contact with us before the trip to let us know he was watching the weather. There were storms but he was able to get us on the water after all. We went for redfish and he put us on some keepers using both live and cut bait. After the reds he found some trout we had fun with on live popping corks. Everyone on the boat caught fish. It was a fun time and we’ll definitely book again.

    Another Amazing Trip with Corey

    1/2 day pm bay fishing on June 22, 2026 • 3 adults

    This was our second Charter with Corey Bickford, and once again it was perfect. Everyone caught fish, sharks and even a seagull. Corey is so fun, knowledgeable and makes the trip so exciting. We will definitely be coming back in the off season to catch some redfish!

    Fantastic Trip

    3/4 day inshore am on March 26, 2026 • 2 adults

    We caught speckled trout, redfish, black drum, sheepshead, spanish mackerel, rockfish, Jack chevalle, and "grunts" over the 6 hours. not everything was keep size, but the variety was awesome! We caught our limit of sheepshead as we went to several spots looking for the fish. The captain was personable and very customer service oriented. Will definitely be booking with him again!
