Fishing in the Gulf from Port Aransas, TX is an amazing way to spend a day. The views are incredible, the fishing is great, and the overall experience is one that you'll never forget. With this experienced captain and crew, you can be assured that you'll have a safe and enjoyable day on the water.

On this trip, you'll target various pelagic species including Blacktip Shark, Hammerhead Shark, King Mackerel, and Red Snapper. Captain Chad
and his crew will use a variety of techniques to put you on the fish, including bottom fishing, drift fishing, heavy tackle, jigging, live bait, and trolling. No matter what your experience level is, we will make sure that you have a great time and catch some fish!

Captain Chad's boat is a 36' catamaran manufactured by Twin Vee. It's powered by twin Yamaha engines for a total of 600hp. The boat is equipped with GPS, fishfinder, live bait well, outriggers, and icebox. It is also wheelhouse-equipped for your comfort in case of inclement weather.

When you come aboard Captain Chad's boat, you will be provided all the tackle and bait that you need. All you need to bring is food, drinks (no glass), sunscreen, a valid Texas fishing license, sunglasses, and a cooler for your catch. Fish cleaning service is also available for a small fee, so you can take home your catch for dinner!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
