Should I bring food and snacks?
Water and light snacks will be provided. If you want to bring any specialty drinks or lunch please feel free to do so. All we ask is no glass!

Yes. Texas Parks and Wildlife requires all anglers to have a saltwater fishing license for the days you will fish. Don’t forget to bring yours!
How many people can go?
There is a maximum of two anglers or 400 pounds (not including the captain) per trip. so 3 people including the captain. If you have a larger party or want to fish as a large group, we can get together with other local guides and take multiple boats out.

We at Third Coast Shallow practice catch and release only. We will be able to take some incredible pictures of you with the fish, but all of them will go back in the water.
