About Your Trip

Guarantee you will catch fish. Load up your icebox with enough Red Snapper to last a lifetime! Captain Roy will take you on an inshore offshore adventure searching for these (sometimes massive) sea monsters, which also make for a delightful dinner. The powerful fish gather in droves near Port Isabel, TX, waters which Captain Roy has been fishing for years. So grab up to six of your friends and family, choose between a half or full day on the seas, and start hauling ‘em over the rail!

On this voyage, you will be aboard a 33’ World Cat powered by twin 600hp Suzuki engines. The vessel is equipped with a Outriggers and a Live Bait Well, so you can spend hours trolling through the Gulf of Mexico. While you troll, you can bump tunes using the Multimedia system on board. Just sit back, relax, and wait for the sweet sound of a screaming reel!

All you need to bring on this trip is sun protection, appropriate clothing, snacks, and beverages. It can get hot out there, so make sure you have sunblock, polarized lenses, and a hat. Also––you want to look cool when you take a trophy picture with your catch! Captain Roy will provide all the rods, reels, tackle, and bait needed for a great trip.

About Your Guide

Roy S.

Independent Guide

Captain Roy has been fishing the Texas coast for over 30 years and worked on several private & tournament boats. He is licensed vessel captain by the United States Coast Guard and has extensive safety training. Growing up in New Orleans, Captain Roy used to fish the salt water on weekends. That’s where his passion for fishing started. After moving to the DFW area in 1980, he started guiding on Lake Tawakoni and has spent 10 years fishing for Hybrid and Striper. However, his love for salt water brought him to the South Padre Island area to guide for Red Snapper and other species that he grew up catching. For the captain, there's nothing like the fight of a saltwater fish! Red Snapper, Cobia, Shark and Amberjack make a trip successful. Federal Red Snapper Season starts June 1st each year. Federal Red Snapper season (beyond 9 nautical miles) starts June 1st every year and thats where we find the monster red snapper and much more. He guarantees you to catch a fish or the trip will be reduced to your deposit & fuel only. Captain Roy will work with you to make sure your Texas fishing charter trip with us is an unforgettable fishing charter.

just got back from an offshore trip out of South Padre with Captain Roy and Becky and it kicked ass. We went out for a full day and hit some killer spots. The reds were biting good and I pulled in a bunch of solid ones, including one big boy that was close to 20 pounds. Fought like hell!

Roy and Becky were laid back, knew exactly what they were doing, and kept the fish coming all day. We limited out on big red snapper and the cooler was packed.

Seas stayed pretty calm and we had a great time. If you want to catch some real monsters, book with Captain Roy.
