Fishing Guides
Jay Watkins - Rockport, Texas
Over seventeen years ago Jay took his first client fishing. From that very first day, he has strived to better educate saltwater anglers. From the very basic to the more advanced, Jay has spent countless hours promoting better methods of finding and catching gamefish. "Fish Smart" has always been Jay's motto. By paying close attention to detail, Jay has discovered patterns that have taken some of the guess work out of fishing. He has been accused of possessing fish savvy, something acquired only after countless fotr-season days on the waters of Rockport's middle Texas coast.
Watkins' accomplishments off the water run deep. Jay has won many fishing tournaments, including the prestigious 1993 GCCA Mid Coast Guides Cup. Watkins is known statewide for articles he has done for every major newspaper and outdoor magazine in Texas. Jay has appeared on the Texas Angler with Keith Warren, The Saltwater Angler with Tom Nix, Fishing Texas, and in several Texas Parks & Wildlife films.
Wading and drifting with artificial baits from Corpus Christi Bay north to San Antonio Bay is Jay's specialty. He is considered one of the most knowledgeable guides in Texas when it comes to the art of lure fishing. Let his extensive knowledge of the area, his fishing expertise, and his wonderful personality make your day!

Cliff Webb - Corpus Christi
Cliff Webb has lived on the South Texas Coast all his life and acquired his love of fishing at a very young age. He grew up in Corpus Christi where his father was a game warden for Texas Parks and Wildlife. Cliff frequently fished in the Laguna Madre and Baffin Bay areas as he continued to refine his technique in finding the “big fish.”
Cliff developed his fishing into a specialty and became a professional guide in 1983. He now enjoys sharing the “fishing experience” with many pleased customers. He is known for his expertise in using artificial lures and his ability to adapt to changing conditions when the need arises. In the winter and spring, he might wade fish from daylight until dark to bring in a trophy trout. In the summer and fall, he might drift fish or even use the trolling motor to work drop offs. Whatever changes arise, Cliff is prepared.
Cliff's major sponsors are: Maverick Boat Co., Seaguar, Mustad, Power Pro and Waterloo Rod Company, USA, Bass Assassin Lures, Yamaha Motor Corp., MotorGuide, Ronnie's Marine, Mirrolure, Costa Del Mar Sunglasses and SmartShield Sunscreen.
Cliff contributes to a monthly fishing report with Gulf Coast Connections Magazine. In Feb. 05, he hosted David Sikes, a writer with the C.C. Caller Times, on big trout fishing. In 2002, Cliff was featured in a book, Texas Tides by Tosh Brown. Through the years, he's been featured in articles by Doug Pike with the Houston Chronicle and Tide Magazine, as well as several cover shots with Saltwater Angler Magazine.
In 2004, he did a TV Show for Outdoor Trails on Speckled Trout fishing. Through the years, he's been very fortunate to have been invited to do TV Shows with Nolan Ryan on Fox Sports, with Terry Bradshaw on TNN, Fishing the West, and many Fishing Texas Shows.
Cliff's fishing boats currently include a 22' Pathfinder powered by a Yamaha 250, 21' Lake and Bay powered by a Yamaha 225, and a New 24' Pathfinder Tournament Edition powered by a 250 Yamaha. These boats are designed for comfort and fishing ability and to take his customers to any area they choose to fish.
