Looking for an exciting new way to take your beach day adventure to the next level? Look no further than this epic surf fishing trip with your guide, Jason! This kind of trip is perfect for groups and families with kids; the kiddos can enjoy the beach while the adults cast out deep for big-time shark species, including Blacktips, Bull Sharks, Hammerheads, and more!

He also provides all the bait and tackle, plus surfcasting rods and reels so that you can go toe-to-toe with big ol' sharks and bring them in securely. Jason also provides a ton of other amenities, so you can really be king of the beach!

If you want to crack a beer, this trip is BYOB. Any adult over the age of 16 that plans to help fight these fish will need a Texas Saltwater fishing license, but otherwise, all you'll need to bring are your favorite snacks, drinks, and your personal belongings—Jason will take care of the rest!

trip description for Tortuga Flats Fishing Fiesta in Port Aransas

Growing up in a ranching family that has been in the Victoria, Texas area since the 1870s, James developed early on a deep appreciation for the land and wildlife. His passion for fishing the Gulf coast comes from spending weekends and summers in Rockport, Texas. There he began crafting his fishing skills at age 4 with his father, along the San Antonio Bay system south to Lower Laguna Madre. After attending Southwest Texas University, James obtained his Captain's license in 2005 to share his knowledge and experience on the water with others. In addition to conventional fishing, James has been an avid fly fisherman for 15 years. He has spent time in the Bahamas learning new techniques for fly casting, which he can pass along to fly-fishing clients at any level. His knack for teaching first timers with his carefree, relaxed attitude will make learning to fish a memorable and rewarding experience. Capt. James has been guiding since 2005 and has grown up fishing the Port Aransas and Rockport areas all his life. We will be fishing primarily for Redfish, Trout, Flounder and Black Drum. He uses a wide variety of techniques in order for his clients to have great day on the water. He runs a 25’ Majek Illusion. Kids are more than welcome. Read More
