Port Isabel, Texas

Reported 4 years ago

Fishing has been good on the drop offs into deeper water with live croaker or shrimp. Good trout have hit the croaker. Reds and black are good with live shrimp. On windy days trout and reds have been good on the drift with soft plastics or live shrimp on the popping cork. When using the popping cork drift the sandy water close to the color change.

Fishing has been great in and around the much needed rain. Trout bite has been great on lures and live bait, and schools of reds have started popping out with the calm winds between storms. The flounder bite has continued to amaze me, what a summer it has been!

Loved our wildlife ride with Cliff! He knew all the good places and how to drift the boat by to not spook the birds! Great time!

Trip: 3-hour Birding And Wildlife Tour

★★★★★

What a great charter experience. Captain Tony and deck hand Albert were fantastic. They did their best on some rough water to keep us comfortable and on the fish. We got our limit of red snapper and we caught some other species along the way. They were great with my small children. They kept the piles rigged and bait on the hooks. Of all the charters that I’ve taken my family on, this one was by far their favorite. I can’t give a higher recommendation.

Went out on a 5 hour bay fishing trip on a weather perfect morning. Nathan put on some nice trout & reds on north side of bridge. When we went to south side of bridge toward SpaceX we had a few bites, but spent too much time anchoring up, so we didn’t catch much. Nathan was a great , knowledgeable Captain & boat was perfect for trip

Great trip! 6 hour trip for some red snapper. Captain put us on the fish. Limited out in less than 2 hours. Had time for our party of 4 to troll for kings which we got 2. Then tried cobia fishing. Lots of fun. Definitely booking again. Highly recommend.
