trip description for 8 Hour Offshore Reef & Wreck Fishing in Port Aransas

Excited to catch some fish in Corpus Christi? Captain Andrew is here to make it happen! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Andrew knows them forwards and back. Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly! Your excursion begins aboard a 25’ Sea Hunt center console with space for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself. The oil rigs that you can see from the beach are structure sources for many different species of fish. The travel time is minimal and allows for much more fishing time! The rig trip is a great trip for a beginner who wants to fish on the ocean but, just isn't quite ready to fight waves and spend a bunch of time traveling. For some, it also provides a sense of relief being so close to the shore where you can clearly see land. It is also always fun to see some of the massive Loggerhead Turtles and Dolphins. Read More

What types of deep dropping charters are common in Texas?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for deep dropping in Texas as well as nearshore fishing and inshore fishing.

The most commonly sought after species for deep dropping in Texas are: 1. mahi mahi, 2. red snapper, 3. kingfish, 4. blacktip shark, and 5. cobia.

How much do Texas deep dropping fishing charters cost?

Prices for deep dropping in Texas can range anywhere from about $1,990 to $6,200, but the average price for a half day trip for deep dropping in Texas is $1,063. The average price for a full day trip for deep dropping in Texas is $3,879.

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 on a deep dropping charter in Texas?

The most popular season to go on a deep dropping charter in Texas is summer, and most anglers book their trips 23 days in advance.

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

    The guide was not inviting. He never introduced himself and had no concern for our well being. We had two guests who were sea sick and he never showed any concern. While he did finally agree to bring them back to shore, his lack of respect for us as customers and human beings was not professional.
