Guided by Salt Sessions Texas
Rockport, TX, USA • 10-19 years of experience
Welcome! My name is KC Burns, born and raised in South Texas, I have been a licensed Captain and full time guide since 2016, With over two decades combined experience chasing fish and waves along saltwater coastlines, I’ve built my life around the tides and swells. My passion for the saltwater runs deep, from sight casting to redfish on the fly in quiet, glassy flats to gliding down clean, waist high peelers at sunrise, and the occasional hurricane swell chaos. Fishing and surfing have taught me so much about what it takes to survive in the salt and between the two, I stay connected to the fish and patterns.
Based in Rockport, Texas, I specialize in shallow water fly fishing and technical sight fishing for redfish, black drum, and coastal species along the Texas coast. My passion is poling skinny water in a skiff, hunting tailing fish, and creating unforgettable one-on-one experiences for anglers who appreciate the challenge of sight casting in clear water.
Whether you’re an experienced fly angler or looking to learn the art of fly fishing on the Texas flats, my trips are built around patience, presentation, and putting anglers in position for quality shots at fish. I focus on small group, personalized guided fishing trips with an emphasis on conservation, professionalism, and authentic coastal adventure.
From calm summer mornings to windy winter tides, Rockport offers some of the best fly fishing and sight fishing opportunities on the Texas coast. My goal is simple, help anglers improve their skills, enjoy the water, and experience the excitement of stalking fish in shallow water from a technical poling skiff.
