KIM GOULDEN FISHING
Guided Fishing Trips
Port O’Connor \ Port Mansfield, TX
Trips are scheduled around conditions - not just a set morning or afternoon time.
Everything I do is built around conditions, timing, and putting you in the best position to catch fish - whether it's your first time on the water or you've been doing this a while.
If I see a better window than what's booked, I'll tell you. You'll always have the option - but we'll make the call based on what gives us the best shot.
Some days are easy.
Some days aren't.
That's fishing.
But if you're willing to stay focused, stay in it, and make the right adjustments - those are the days that can turn into something you remember.
No ego. No overcomplication. Just doing it right.
When it lines up, it can get real good.
Guided Fishing Trips on the Texas Coast
Fishing here isn't just about showing up and hoping it works.
Every trip is built around conditions - wind, tide, water, and where fish should be based on all of it coming together.
I fish primarily with artificial lures and focus on reading water, positioning, and execution. Some days are straight forward. Some days require adjustments. That's part of it.
Most of the time, we're targeting speckled trout and redfish, but when conditions line up, we'll push into deeper water for bull reds, tarpon, jacks, and other opportunities.
There's a difference between being out there and knowing what you're looking at.
That's where I come in.
If you prefer to fish a fly rod, bring it. I'm always open to it - just understand my focus is on putting you in the best position to catch fish.
What Sets This Apart
Conditions Come First
Trips aren't locked into a time block. If there's a better window, we adjust. The goal is to fish when it makes sense - not just a set morning or afternoon time.
Execution Over Everything
We're not guessing. We're reading water, positioning correctly, and making adjustments as the day unfolds. That's what separates a good day from a great one.
Simple Done Right
No overcomplication. No unnecessary jargon. Just proven methods, applied the way they're supposed to be.
