About Your Trip

There you are fishing, sitting on aboard a fully furnished and mission-designed 38 ft Sportfishing Express with your feet propped up on the fish box.
Your favorite beverage in one hand, almost lulled to sleep with the slapping waves rocking the boat and the sea breeze cooling the brow. All of a sudden, from the bridge comes the bellow “FISH ON”!!! Suddenly from the peaceful calm, you realize it is time to get down to fishing!
The mate has been in fast motion moving the rods so you can get at the one with the fish. There is no doubt what rod to pick up; it’s the one bent over double and the reel screaming. Adrenaline is pumping through your body, you reach for the rod, and with a little struggle, you remove it from the holder. You cram the fishing rod into the fighting belt that is strapped around your waist. Getting your body square to the fish and leaning into the padded stern, your desire to overpower the fish and become the victor has begun!

This could be your experience when you head out with Captain Hunter aboard the fantastic 38ft Sport Express built explicitly for running badass offshore trips out of Port Aransas.

Offshore fishing in the Gulf of Mexico offers some of the most exciting sport fishing in the world, and this 6 hour trip provides an awesome opportunity to catch a variety of fish species like snapper, wahoo, shark, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, amberjack, blackfin tuna, mahi-mahi, and whatever else you and Captain Hunter can find out there!

Based in Port Aransas, and with the right boat for the job, Captain Hunter is able to get to blue water quickly. This means you spend more time trolling, deep dropping and sight fishing, and less time riding to and fro.

Bait, fuel, and water are provided on all trips. All you need to bring is your sunscreen, sunglasses, food, BYOB, a cooler for fish transport, and any special items you need aboard a 6 hour trip!

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs.
