What types of sheepshead fishing charters are common in Texas?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for sheepshead in Texas as well as inshore fishing, flats fishing, and jetty fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Texas are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and drift fishing but artificial lure fishing and bottom fishing are popular as well.

How much do Texas sheepshead fishing charters cost?

Prices for sheepshead in Texas can range anywhere from about $575 to $2,200, but the average price for a half day trip for sheepshead in Texas is $1,046. The average price for a full day trip for sheepshead in Texas is $1,383.

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 sheepshead fishing in Texas?

The most popular season for sheepshead fishing in Texas is summer, and most anglers book their trips 15 days in advance.

    Trip: Full Day Inshore - 26' Majek

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Jay is absolutely amazing! My husband and I just got home from our 5hr trip and we couldn’t be more pleased. Jay is informative, funny, and makes you feel incredibly comfortable on the water. His vast knowledge of fishing left us with new techniques that we’ll be able to use from here on out. If you’re looking for a stellar guide for you or your family/friends, don’t look any further. Jay is definitely your guy. We will absolutely book with him again! -Anna and Cian

    Trip: Wade East Matagorda

    We had the most wonderful experience with Captain Marc (and Brenda). My son and I went on a half-day excursion in Novemeber during our Thanksgiving trip and it was such a great bonding time for the two of us. Captain Marc is super generous, knowledgable and patient. We highly recommend him and his fishing guidance:). My son was particularly excited about having his trout cleaned and getting to serve it to us that evening. All around A+.
