PASSING THE ROD! Shannon Sawyer
Rockport, Texas
MEET CAPT. CHARLES NEWTON & GRANDSON CAPT. AERICH OLIVER
Captain Charlie Newton has been the premier fishing guide for Rockport, Texas for over 4 decades. His charter business, aptly named “Redfish Charters”, has provided amazing fishing for thousands of clients who became friends. He and his amazing wife Beverly have served as a hub for people traveling to our little coastal town on where to stay, eat, fish, shop and relax. If they don’t know where something is – it doesn’t exist! This power couple have been a mainstay institution known to many in the community, and their most notable contribution has been raising up the next generation of fishing guides, particularly their grandson Captain Aerich Oliver.

For the last several years, Captain Aerich has been the working captain for both Redfish Charters and his own company Rockport Paradise Outfitters. While Redfish Charters was strictly fishing, Rockport Paradise Outfitters offers both hunting and fishing charters. This transition has allowed for the same outstanding quality charters repeat customers call Redfish Charters for while allowing Captain Aerich Oliver to offer an expanded menu of services. However, maintaining two separate businesses and all the behind the scenes work that goes with that is a massive undertaking.
That is why Capt. Aerich of
will now be the sole provider of the amazing fishing charters repeat customers have come to expect from Redfish Charters!
Captain Charlie will continue his sinker business, and most days you will find him out in his shed melting lead. From decoy weights to every style and size fishing weight you may need, he has 5-gallon buckets full! If you ever come across some extra lead, he will happily take it off your hands and craft it into a usable product. Beverly still assists in coordinating trips and offering insight into the best of what Rockport has to offer. Recipes, events, where to go for a needed weld or repair, and more. She is a walking Yellow Page Directory (or Google for you younger people!!)
You can find Captain Aerich Oliver’s information on Facebook... taught by the best!!!

A lot of duck hunts are from shore or from well-camouflaged blinds along the islands. The Captain has a chocolate Labrador Retriever named Coco and she is getting better with her training and retrieving every season! She still has a ways to go to be perfect but she learns easily and quickly! When we arrive at our location I put out lots of decoys - meaning several dozen decoy ducks. Duck hunts begin at legal shooting time which is 30 minutes before sunrise. We leave earlier to set-up and hunting ends at 10am.
TRY A BLAST & CAST TRIP TO EXPERIENCE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS... FOR GREAT HUNTING IN THE MORNING AND FANTASTIC FISHING IN THE AFTERNOON!
