About Your Trip

Embark on an unforgettable outdoor adventure with Captain Burt where you’ll be targeting the Texas "Big Three": Flounder, Redfish, and Speckled Trout. Captain Burt has fished the waters of Port Mansfield for over three decades and loves showing people of all skill levels how to fish the local waters. No matter if you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, you’ll be in good hands!

You’ll be fishing aboard his 24' Dargel Skout center console, which can accommodate 5 anglers. Make sure you bring a valid Texas saltwater fishing license, food and drinks, a hat, sunscreen, and some good company!

Captain Burt will provide all rods, reels, tackle, lures, water, and ice for your upcoming trip. Captain Burt will also clean and fillet your catch back at the marina, so make sure you bring a large cooler to get your fish home.

Captain Burt likes to launch out of Port Mansfield, but will also launch out of Arroyo City and South Padre Island.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
