What types of spanish mackerel fishing charters are common in Texas?

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

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

How much do Texas spanish mackerel fishing charters cost?

Prices for spanish mackerel in Texas can range anywhere from about $650 to $2,920, but the average price for a half day trip for spanish mackerel in Texas is $1,081. The average price for a full day trip for spanish mackerel in Texas is $1,795.

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 spanish mackerel fishing in Texas?

The most popular season for spanish mackerel fishing in Texas is summer, and most anglers book their trips 19 days in advance.

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

    We had a wonderful trip! Even though we were not experienced fishermen, we caught more fish than we had expected! Captain Blake was patient, encouraging, and a pleasure to spend the day with....

    We had a great trip with Corey. In spite of strong winds forcing us to less productive areas, we caught 6 assorted keepers - including a couple of 25" reds - and released a bunch more. Corey was very friendly and accommodating, and his boat was very comfortable and well equipped.

    Capt. Ross is a great guy and guide. We had a less than ideal weather pattern, but still caught keeper reds and puppy drum. It rained hard on us but he kept me on fish

    Captain Blake was amazing, he put us on big fish early in the morning and we caught fish the entire time we were out. He was super patient with my 9 year old grandson and 83 year old father. We caught some really big Reds, 2 of which we had to tag, lots of drum including the 2 trophies we had to catch and release of 32 & 40 inches. He will be our Captain of choice for future trips. He exceeded my expectations by miles.

    Ladies loved the trip and caught big fish. One trout was 24" and was released due to conservation rules. One of our reds needed a tag to keep. Highly recommend Alana as a fun and knowledgeable fishing guide in SPI.

    Captain Mike was incredible! I booked this fishing trip for my husband and brother in law as a surprise for Father’s Day and he was very patient and thorough with me. (I knew nothing about fishing). He is also very kind and his fishing skills are top tier! And best of all he definitely helped them catch some pretty nice size fish! We will definitely be booking Captain Mike again.
