About Your Trip

Join Tim for a laid-back and productive fishing trip around South Padre Island, where you’ll explore a mix of inshore waters, back bays, and nearby coastal areas known for steady action and beautiful scenery. This trip is designed to give anglers a relaxed, flexible day on the water while targeting a variety of local fish species in productive South Texas waters.

Tim provides everything you need for a successful trip, including top-of-the-line fishing equipment, bait,
lures, water, and Gatorade to keep you hydrated throughout the day. His goal is to make your experience simple and hassle-free so you can focus on fishing and enjoying your time on the water.

Depending on conditions and where the bite is best, you may fish anywhere from South Padre Island up through nearby northern areas and back bay systems. These waters are rich with structure and wildlife, offering not only good fishing but also plenty of opportunities to see coastal birds and natural scenery along the way.

Commonly used baits and techniques will vary based on conditions, and croaker is available as an additional bait option if desired, which can be discussed at booking. Tim adjusts his approach based on what the fish are responding to, helping you stay in the best possible position for action throughout the trip.

Guests are welcome to bring any additional beverages, snacks, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hand towel to stay comfortable during the day. A small cooler is also recommended, which can be left in your vehicle so you can easily transport your catch home after the trip.

Whether you’re new to fishing or simply looking for a relaxed day exploring the waters around South Padre Island, Tim delivers a comfortable, well-equipped, and enjoyable inshore fishing experience with plenty of opportunity to catch fish and enjoy the scenery.

We had such a fantastic time with Tim! We took the half-day tour, and we even wrapped it up early because we had limited out on Trout. Tim was such a great and funny guide, showing us how and where to throw the bait/lures so we could catch fish—and we did! I would definitely recommend Tim for your next fishing trip to SPI. We’re always booking with Tim when we’re back here. ...
