Types of Fishing Charters
Private fishing charters means that your group will be the only ones on the boat with the captain, while party boats are typically cheaper but you will be fishing alongside others. Deep Sea Trips will take you into the offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico where you will typically be on larger boats that can handle the ocean swells. Bay Fishing Trips are on the shallow, calm, waters of the Laguna Madre. When making your reservation, don't forget to check with your guide to see fishing license requirements.
Wide Variety of Fishing Experiences
Deep sea fishing charter catches include hard pulling fish such as Grouper, Snapper, Sharks, Amberjack, Wahoo, Kingfish, Barracuda, and Tuna. Bay Fishing catches are primarily Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Whiting, Drum, Shark, and Sheepshead. Saltwater fish are not only fun to catch, but are delcious and healthy! Many local restaurants will cook your catch for a fraction of the cost of the regular seafood menu items. There are also a couple of local taxidermist on the Island if you would like a trophy to back up your stories and memories!
