Marks Guide Service
Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.
There's a fish with your name on it in Port Aransas and Marks guide service will help you catch it! Captain Mark will be your guide, bringing aboard years of angling experience.
There's no guarantee when you're fishing, but just some of the species you can catch around here include Black Drum, Flounder, Sheepshead, Pompano, Redfish, and more with any luck. On these trips, you can expect to use light tackle.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!
You'll be casting lines from a 24' Haynie center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Mark will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect. You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

4 Hour Trip on August 1, 2026 • 4 adultsMark was friendly and knowlegable on areas to fish, and extremely patient. He took care of everything and got each of us a fish. We will be using him in the future.
Derek SeeligRepeat angler4.3VerifiedGood guide service, would use again
4 Hour Trip on October 13, 2025 • 4 adultsTook my family - me, wife, 18 yr old, and 13 yr old on 1/2 day bay trip. We each caught a slot redfish, and one speckled trout. Capt. Mark was knowledgeable and took us to where the fish were. He was patient with my family and I and stayed longer to try to catch more fish. Although the bite was a little slow, we had a great time. I wouldnt hesitate to use Capt. Mark again.

Good Day on the water
4 Hour Trip on July 22, 2026 • 3 adultsTook the family out for their first ever fishing trip. Captain Mark and Ben were excellent taking care of us, teaching as we went not about fishing and about the history of the area. Excellent with the kids. On the way back in we stopped and did some dolphin watching, and they filleted out our catch. A good on the water.
Jorge FloresRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat trip for our first timers
4 Hour Trip on July 3, 2026 • 4 adultsEnjoyed the morning out on the water. Mark knows the spots to hit and was very informative. He made it possible to catch the fish we were after. He checked in days prior to the trip to gather details of what we were after and was communicative and reaponsive as the trip got closer. Will book again.

Club Pipeliners Tournament on June 6, 2026 • 4 adultsGreat day out on the water for Pipeliners! The morning topwater bite for Reds was a sureal experience! Will be using Mark on future trips to Port Aransas. Boat was top notch and can easily handle large groups, kids too. No need to bring any gear before hand, Mark came prepared for the group.
