What types of red snapper fishing charters are common in Texas?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for red snapper in Texas as well as nearshore fishing, jetty fishing, and inshore fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Texas are bottom fishing, trolling, and heavy tackle fishing but jigging and live bait fishing are popular as well.

How much do Texas red snapper fishing charters cost?

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for red snapper fishing in Texas?

The most popular season for red snapper fishing in Texas is summer, and most anglers book their trips 33 days in advance.

Do I need a Texas fishing license for red snapper and what are the bag limits for red snapper in Texas?

    Corey was very personable and had a wealth of knowledge about fishing techniques. We had a very enjoyable day with him.

    Trip: Port A Inshore/Jetty Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    The three of us went fishing with Captain Corey on Friday 9/19/25. Captain Corey is the most conscientious captain we have ever fished/caught with. He provided his fishing knowledge and guidance without overbearance. His knowledge comes from a lifetime of boating and fishing/catching in Texas. He knew exactly where to go for catching and what to do when we got there. There was no shortage of good quality bait on board and no skimping when and where it was needed. We caught about ten Red fish and kept six with one needing a tag. Captain Corey provided us with much comfort on the boat and he was very anxious to help everyone who wanted it. We had a comfortable boat ride which included slowing down for the wake of other boats. We will definitely be asking for Captain Corey again , either in Port A and /or Galveston.

    Good job Corey! Corey was good at communicating via text leading up to the time we left. He did tell us the fishing was slow in the morning and left it up to us on if we wanted to go or not. Of course we DID! it was a nice day to be on the water. Corey put us on all the spots and we did catch but just not big enough to keep. Thanks again Corey! we will see you soon!!!

    The trip was amazing, comfortable, and just a good time fishing in the ocean. The bean boat bags were perfect, helping us take a nap while we were cruising to the deep ocean. Went home with an ice chest full of fish meat. It was a great time. Thank you Chris!
