About Your Trip

Looking for an exciting new way to take your beach day to the next level? Look no further than Tristan's land-based chartered shark fishing! Tristan serves the Corpus Christi gulf coast region including Port Aransas and Padre Island so no matter where you’re gathering he has a fishing charter that can meet you where ever you're looking to hang out for the day! If you don't have a beach in mind, Tristan has a couple secret spots he would love to show you as well. Beautiful beaches, and awesome shark fishing to boot!

In addition to regular surfcasting for Sharks, Tristan has a Jetski that he uses to get the bait out beyond the waves. This increases the chances of a bite, and also means that your cast isn't limited by your strength! This innovative technique will really take your Shark fishing to the next level.

His land-based shark fishing charters are 100% safe and fun for the entire family! It’s so easy and fun even kids can do it. He will provide all necessary tackle and bait, as well as beach games, beach chairs, and a canopy set up to call home base. 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, Tristan will take care of the rest!

Went out there and hooked onto a monster. About 15 people watched us fight that monster for 35-40 minutes till it popped loose and a bunch of them were all shark fisherman who agreed that it was huge.

Never got to finally bring him in, but tristan was knowledge, personable, well equipped with the proper gear, and an overall really good guide to use.

I’d definitely use him again👍🏼

Did a half day trip with Tristan, and was thoroughly impressed. Very quick and efficient with set up and getting baits out. We caught 2 nice sharks and had a few more on. Tristan takes the time he needs to with less experienced anglers and gets them where they need to be. Very effective communicator when asked questions. The best guided experience I’ve had. If you’re going to be in the corpus area and want...

We didn't get a hit, but learned about the process and had a great time. Tristan and Corbit were great. There may have been a snag with the booking and guide schedule coordination, but Tristan resolved the double booking glitch. Booking agent was unable to answer basic questions about the trip, but better information with call back.

Tristan and Benny were really great with our large group, continually answered questions and attentive. We unfortunately didn't get any bites but we plan to book again and would recommend them for any group size. Thanks for making our charter so much fun. Greatest 50th birthday ever!!

The sharks didn’t cooperate on our trip but that was no fault of Tristan and Benny. They are some good dudes and we enjoyed talking with them. They tried hard, just wasn’t in the cards for us that evening. We’ll try it again next time we’re in town.
