If you're a fan of the salt, you can hit the coastal waters on a full day trip. You'll go after the most popular targets of Texas saltwater fishing like Redfish, Black Drum, Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, Sheepshead, and others.

Make sure to pack a cooler in the trunk, the crew will clean and fillet your catch free of charge. Please note that boots are not allowed on the boat.
