Capt. Tommy Barnard is a Texas saltwater fishing guide in Rockport, Texas, located on the Texas Gulf Coast, about halfway between Houston and the U.S. Mexico border. Capt. Tommy was born and raised in Rockport and has been a Professional Texas Saltwater Fishing Guide for 23 years. Rockport is a popular spot for family vacations and provides endless recreational opportunities, most notably bay flats fishing.

Come fish with Captain Tommy, a Full Time USCG licensed Texas fishing guide, as we venture into the waters such as Aransas Bay, Redfish Bay, Copano Bay, and Mesquite Bay just to name a few.

With an annual mean temperature of 71.1 degrees, almost everyday is a good day for fishing in Rockport Texas. Rockport also boasts an average of 288 sun-filled and rain-free days, and winter-time temperatures commonly in the 70s and 80s. This mild climate makes for comfortable Texas saltwater fishing all year round.

Rockport Texas has some of the finest fishing to offer on the Texas Gulf Coast. Areas such as California Hole, Turtle Pen, Allens Bight, Lydia Ann Channel, Light House Lakes, Mud Island, and Estes Flats make this stretch of the Texas Coast a "must-fish" location for any saltwater angler.
