What types of blackfin tuna fishing charters are common in Texas?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for blackfin tuna in Texas as well as nearshore fishing.

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

How much do Texas blackfin tuna fishing charters cost?

Prices for blackfin tuna in Texas can range anywhere from about $1,940 to $4,700, but the average price for a full day trip for blackfin tuna in Texas is $3,822.

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.

    Had a really great time it was my son‘s birthday and my two grandsons was with him and a couple of friends and Captain Willis really did this extraordinarily great great kid Jake his first mate was jumping around the boat putting bait on my hooks really did great. I recommend this crew For your fishing experience and later met the owner Danny at his restaurant, all the guys are telling Danny about their experience on the boat. All excited the food was good at the restaurant Danny’s group at the restaurant was perfect. Danny is the owner was really phenomenal, on his appreciation of our decision to do business with his Services offered. If you’re looking to have a great experience, I would suggest you look these guys up in Port Aransas

    Excellent charter trip. Very hot day but the air conditioned salon was just a step away for cooling off. Easily caught limits of Kings and Snappers plus added a few Barracudas. I recommend Capt “J” for deep sea fishing.

    The captain and deck mate were excellent. Took two boys out for their first off shore trip and they are still talking about how much fun they had. I highly recommend this guide definitely worth the price.

    Captain Dan and his crew are great. If you choose any other charter to fish with you are missing out. They will work hard to get you on the fish and take care of you. Give them a shot you won’t be disappointed.

    Capt Blake and deckhand Bryson were awesome. This is a nice yacht disguised as a fishing boat. Nice accommodations with an excellent A/C even on the bridge. We picked up a load of snapper and a nice wahoo while trolling.

    Had a great time on the 8 hour trip. We caught snappers then went hunting for bonus fish. Communication with the business and our captain was great. We showed up later than planned but our captain was flexible. Danny's was a great choice.

    We had a great time! Emilio and Jesse did everything they could to get us some fish despite some difficult circumstances that were out of everyone’s control. We would definitely book this fishing trip again.

    Our Captain was Mark and the first mate was Rooster. Both of these guys worked hard to put us on this fish and boy did they do it. Lots of Red Snapper, some Kingfish and vermillion snapper. Great day on the water!!!.

    Trip: Deep Sea Fishing (8 or 12 Hour)

  • ★★★★★
    First off Danny communicated well about where to be and what time the day before our excursion. Once we got started it was clear that he was very knowledgeable and knew where to go to maximize our fishing efforts. Him and his deck hand made sure that our family of 4 always had a baited pole in our hands and were ready to grab any fish that we caught! We would absolutely go fishing with Danny again!

    The BESTEST -Mark and Rooster could not have been nicer, more accommodating, or worked any harder to be sure that I caught fish! This was a bucket list item for me and I’m thrilled with my experience.

    Trip: South Padre Island Deep Sea

  • ★★★★★
    I hate reviews that don’t give you all the info you need. Emilio and his crew hand did a great job they brought us to a few spot that put us on 5-10 fish at a time the boat got us where we needed to go 5-10 miles out from the docks the squid bate was decent the rods were all usable there was a restroom on board In all especially for the price I would definitely take this charter again during the summer!!! Timing matters when fishing!

    Trip: South Padre Island Deep Sea

  • ★★★★★
    We did not have a good experience. The seas were very rough, we got sea sick, completely drenched and my husband fell out of his wheelchair when the boat hit a big wave at about mile 13 or 14. He was stayed seated on the floor of the boat as we attempted to continue out. After about 1.5 hours, we were less than 20 miles out, we decided to ask the captain to turn around.
