Full-Day and Half-Day Saltwater Adventures Departing from Riviera, TX
Before the sun breaks the horizon, before the first cast cuts the morning stillness, there’s a moment on Baffin Bay that grabs you. The kind of moment that silences everything else. The kind of moment that tells you this is where you’re meant to be.
The water is calm. The tide is turning. The boat is loaded and your guide just smiled — because they already know where you’re going and what’s waiting there.
This isn’t just a trip. This is a shot at something real.
At Baffin Bay Hunting and Fishing, we don’t sell tours. We guide true saltwater experiences. We guide to teach. We guide to connect. We guide because this is home, and Baffin Bay still gets our hearts racing every time we launch.
Whether you’re here for your first redfish, your next trophy trout, or just want to feel that rod bend under a South Texas sky, we’ve got you covered.
And we’ll make damn sure it’s the kind of day you’ll talk about for years.
We offer both full-day and half-day guided fishing charters, launching from Riviera, Texas, straight into the wild heart of Baffin Bay. Every trip is built from the ground up — around your pace, your style, and the ever-changing rhythms of the bay.
Expect a day that feels nothing like ordinary.
You don’t need to be an expert. You don’t need to know the gear.
You just need the drive to go. We’ll take care of the rest.
This isn’t just another coastal bay. Baffin Bay is its own world — shallow, raw, and loaded with secrets that don’t show up on maps.
Formed by ancient rocks and shifting tides, it grows massive speckled trout, channels powerful redfish, and demands more than luck. You’ve got to read it, feel it, move with it.
That’s what we do. Every day.
Our guides know when it breathes, where it feeds, and how to get you in it without wasting a second.
This bay doesn’t hand out trophies easily.
But when it does, you’ll know it was earned.
Some guides started out on inland lakes.
Some brought their experience from places with deeper water, calmer winds, and forgiving fish.
We didn’t.
We started here. On this bay. In this grit. With these fish.
Our guides learned to read the tides before they could name them. We were raised on salty air, low water, rocky structure, and fish that don’t give second chances. While others brought their playbooks from Lake Erie and other freshwater systems, we were already out here — chasing reds through the wind, dialing in the drift, figuring out what works when nothing else does.
We didn’t come to Baffin.
We were born in it.
And when you fish with us, you’ll feel the difference.
This isn’t a backseat ride to a fishing spot. This is a full-throttle coastal adventure — salt in the air, drag screaming, adrenaline flowing.
Led by Captain Mark Franklin, our crew of six full-time guides has over 100 years of combined experience fishing this bay. But we don’t just know the water — we know how to teach it.
We break down every move. We explain the tides. We show you why the cast matters and when to hold back. Whether you’re new to saltwater or sharpening your edge, you’ll come back with new skills, sharper instincts, and maybe a story about the one that nearly pulled you overboard.
This isn’t about showing off. It’s about passing it on.
This is for people who want to feel the rod shake, the water boil, and walk away with something unforgettable burned into their memory.
We’ve got over 140 five-star reviews — and not because we hand out easy days.
We get those reviews because we go all in. Every trip. Every client. Every fish. People come back not just for what they caught, but for how it felt to be here — to fish with someone who gave a damn, and to leave knowing something they didn’t know when they arrived.
We keep it simple. We offer full-day and half-day trips with straight-up pricing, no fluff, and real options for groups, individuals, and returning guests. Whether you're booking a family day, a serious solo hunt, or a corporate event with all six boats, we’ve got the gear and the guides to deliver.
Rates and booking details are just one click away.
