If you're looking for a Port Aransas fishing charter, Rockport fishing charter, or a private fishing trip around Corpus Christi Bay, Clean Fun Fishing offers a fun and personalized experience on the Texas Gulf Coast.

I'm Captain Justin Coghlan, a licensed fishing captain and owner of Clean Fun Fishing. I specialize in private inshore fishing charters for families, couples, beginners, and experienced anglers. Whether you're visiting Port Aransas on vacation, staying in Rockport, or looking for a fishing charter near Corpus Christi, I'll work hard to put you on fish while making sure you enjoy your time on the water.

Port Aransas Fishing Charters for Redfish, Speckled Trout and Black Drum

Port Aransas is one of the most popular fishing destinations on the Texas coast. With access to shallow grass flats, deeper channels, shorelines, and bay systems, the surrounding waters provide opportunities to catch several popular saltwater species.

On my Port Aransas fishing charter trips, I primarily target redfish, speckled trout, black drum, and mangrove snapper when conditions are right.

Depending on the weather, tides, and fish activity, I use several fishing techniques, including:

• Live shrimp under popping corks for speckled trout, redfish, and black drum.

• Carolina rigs with live shrimp around deeper channels, rock edges, and drop-offs.

• Quarter-ounce gold spoons for redfish along shallow grass flats and shorelines.

• Four-inch soft plastic paddle tails for trout and redfish.

Every fishing trip is different, and I adjust our fishing locations and techniques based on current conditions.

Private Fishing Charters in Port Aransas

One of the biggest advantages of booking a private fishing charter is having the boat reserved exclusively for your group.

Unlike shared fishing trips, you won't be fishing alongside strangers. My trips are designed around your group, whether you're an experienced angler or someone picking up a fishing rod for the first time.

I operate an 18-foot Freedom Patriot flats boat, which is ideal for exploring the shallow bays and inshore waters around Port Aransas, Aransas Pass, and Corpus Christi Bay.

Due to the boat's weight capacity, I accommodate up to three adult customers, or up to four customers when children are included, depending on the group's total weight.

Rockport Fishing Charters and Guided Fishing Trips

Rockport, Texas, is another excellent destination for inshore saltwater fishing. The surrounding bay systems provide fishing opportunities for redfish, speckled trout, and black drum throughout the year.

If you're searching for Rockport fishing charters or a Rockport fishing guide, Clean Fun Fishing offers private guided fishing trips focused on providing a relaxed and enjoyable experience.

Whether you're a local resident or visiting Rockport for a vacation, I'll help you enjoy a day of fishing along the Texas coast.

My fishing trips are particularly well suited for smaller groups that prefer personal attention instead of crowded boats.

Corpus Christi Fishing Charters and Aransas Pass Fishing Trips

If you're searching for Corpus Christi fishing charters, Corpus fishing charters, or fishing charters around Aransas Pass, I also guide anglers in the surrounding inshore bay systems.

Corpus Christi Bay and the waters near Ingleside and Aransas Pass offer a variety of fishing environments, including grass flats, channels, shorelines, and deeper structure.

These areas can produce redfish, speckled trout, black drum, and mangrove snapper throughout different times of the year.

I choose fishing locations based on conditions and where I believe we have the best opportunities to catch fish.

Family Fishing Charters and Kids Fishing Trips

Family fishing trips are one of my favorite parts of being a fishing guide.

I enjoy teaching children and beginners how to cast, work their bait, detect bites, and reel in fish. You don't need previous fishing experience to enjoy a trip with Clean Fun Fishing.

My private family fishing charters are a great option for parents, grandparents, couples, and smaller groups who want to spend quality time together on the water.

I take a patient approach to fishing and want everyone to feel comfortable, whether it's their first fishing trip or their hundredth.

Clean Fun Fishing is also an alcohol-free fishing charter service, providing a family-friendly environment.

What's Included in My Private Fishing Charters?

I want booking a fishing trip to be simple and convenient.

On my bait fishing trips, I provide fishing rods, reels, tackle, and the equipment needed for the trip. Water and Gatorade are also provided, and fish cleaning is included.

If you prefer fishing with artificial lures, you'll need to bring your own rod and reel setups.

My standard half-day fishing trips are approximately four hours, giving us time to explore the bays and target fish.

A $200 deposit is required to reserve your trip, with the remaining balance due on the day of your charter.
