First Light Guide Service
Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.
Turn your next trip to Rockport into an adventure everyone will talk about. Join Capt. Brian Oxford, owner of First Light Guide Service, and experience some of the best inshore fishing on the TX coast.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best, introducing your kids to fishing, or looking for a memorable day, we’ll tailor the trip to the conditions and your experience. Depending on the season and conditions, you could hook into Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Alligator Gar, and whatever else is biting.
No two trips are exactly alike. You may be popping corks over grass flats, running cut bait on the bottom, or working artificial lures to fool a trophy fish. Every trip is an opportunity to learn, laugh, and make memories that last long after you return to the dock.
Family fishing? Perfect! Kids are always welcome, and there’s nothing better than seeing a young angler land their first catch. Children are required by law to wear a properly fitted life jacket, so check with Capt. Brian about available sizes or bring one that fits your child.
You’ll fish aboard a new 22’ Majek M2 Illusion that accommodates up to 4 guests and is equipped with everything needed for a great day. Rods, reels, tackle, and bait are provided. Wade fishing trips are also available.
Before your trip, be sure to purchase a valid Texas saltwater fishing license. Capt. Brian will gladly answer any questions. Bring polarized sunglasses, a hat, lightweight UV-protective clothing, sunscreen (non-spray), snacks, and your favorite beverages. A Yeti cooler stocked with bottled water and ice is provided, with room for snacks! Beer is welcome, just no glass.
Book your trip today and see why the best stories on the TX coast happen at first light.

4 Hr – Nearshore Fishing Trip on September 1, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Brian was a pleasure to meet. The fishing was fun with a limit of speckled trout but the fellowship was even better. Great stories, attention to detail , excellent gear, and very well appointed watercraft. Brian is our go forward coastal guide. Thank you for the great morning, Brian!
