  • What species of fish are available to target for a bay fishing charter?

    For bay fishing charters, anglers can typically expect to target redfish and black drum. There's also a possibility of fishing for trout, flounder, and sheephead, depending on conditions.

  • What species of fish are available to target for an offshore/deep-sea fishing charter?

    The species available for offshore charters depend on the trip length. Longer trips that venture further from shore increase the variety of fish species. This is far too numerous to list, but it's a great opportunity to visit with your captain about what we can expect for the day. We encourage you to contact us for more detailed information.  If you have a specific species in mind, please inquire about the recommended trip duration. 

  • What items are restricted on the charter?

    While we encourage you to bring your own drinks, and snacks, certain items are not allowed on our charters. These include bananas (considered bad luck), styrofoam coolers (easily breakable), glass containers (safety hazard), spray suntan lotion (makes surfaces slippery), and sunflower seeds (can clog bilge pumps). No illegal drugs are or substances are allowed on the boat.

  • What should I bring on my fishing charter trip?

    It's essential to purchase a Texas state fishing license for anyone 17 years or older. We recommend bringing your own drinks, snacks, sunscreen lotion, and sunglasses. Our charter provides bait, tackle, and fuel for the trip.
