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 heavy tackle 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 $600 to $1,950, but the average price for a half day trip for spanish mackerel in Texas is $720. The average price for a full day trip for spanish mackerel in Texas is $1,377.

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 18 days in advance.

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

    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.

    My kids and I had a great time with Captain Corey. He was laid back, had fun with the kids and knew where to find the fish. Great experience!

    Jeff L. with Corey B. of Port Aransas, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Storm the day before put the bite off, but we caught lots of Catfish, several near 5 lbs, so my grandson enjoyed that. Capt Mike worked for his money, constantly repositioning the boat to our advantage & taking us out to try for Sharks upon our request. He kept the language clean, which, knowing alot of Sailors, was a bonus...He also made sure my grandson had an approved life vest & hooked and passed a couple of the bigger fish to him. Overall, I'd charter with him again for sure. A+++
