Come hang out on the beaches of Padre Island with Captain Colin Davis of Padre Island Expeditions and experience the raw apex-predator-power that a monster shark can unleash! As a master of Padre Island, especially fishing from its beaches, Captain Colin has one of the most unique surf fishing setups out there and it works.
When you go out with Captain Colin you can expect to start your day cruising the beaches of Padre Island in his decked-out truck until he finds a spot he likes. No need to worry about setting up after you've stopped either, Captain Colin's truck comes with a custom-built fishing platform in the bed. Equipped with 6 rod holders, Captain Colin will bait up your lines with his special marinated stingray or jack crevalle head and boat them out past the surf in his dingy to keep them from washing back onto the beach. Padre Island is known for its monster sharks, and it won't be long until one of those lines starts whirring from atop the truck bed rig!
Captain Collins likes to fish all day (8-12hrs) and can provide hotdogs/hamburgers/lunch supplies for an extra charge. Night fishing for the prehistoric monsters can be extremely proficient at night so he offers two day and one night trips (~32hrs) and provides the camping supplies and food.
Captain Collins loves to take care of his clients and is willing to cater this trip around you. So bring your texas fishing license and get ready for the trip of a lifetime!

Experience the longest undeveloped barrier island in the world, Padre Island National Seashore, on a guided fishing charter with Captain Colin.
Captain Colin knows the Padre Island National Seashore better than most, and he knows how to fish it better than all! Get ready to catch Redfish, Jack Crevalle, Spanish Mackerel, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Pompano, and giant Sharks all from the shoreline using Captain Colin's impressive set of rods, reels, tackle, and bait.
His knowledge of the Island's history, bird populations, and other wildlife is an added bonus to Captain Colin's attributes as a guide.
Captain Colin will host your trip from his custom-built beach rover perfect for surf casting. Captain Colin also provides a Zodiac inflatable boat for you to fish just offshore.
Come aboard for a full day or a couple of days, camping on the beach, as you make the most of the incredible, untouched nature all around.
The real draw of fishing from Padre Island National Seashore is the Shark fishing. Hook up to one of these giant apex predators and experience the fight of a lifetime.
Whether camping for the night or fishing for the day, Capt. Colin can provide a lunch of hamburgers and hot dogs for an additional fee. Either way, he suggests bringing your own drinks and snacks.
Other than that, just purchase your TX fishing license online (link below), and settle in for an amazing fishing trip. Captain Colin looks forward to hosting you on one of the most remote and pristine beaches you'll ever fish.

My friends and I did the shark Charter and Colin was a super cool guide. He is an extremely hard worker and he will give you the best opportunity to real in a fish. He continued to change baits and add baits and run more lines, increasing our chances. He knows a lot about the island and will gladly share his knowledge with you. My friends and family are looking forward to booking a trout trip in a few months.
