Get ready to put your body, mind, and soul to work on an epic deep sea battle against some of the toughest fighting fish. Reelhard Fishin Charters specializes in offshore and nearshore excursions, delivering some of the most intense, rod-bending action in the state waters of Texas. Your captain, Paul Pennington, has over 30 years of experience fishing these local waters and is one of the most dedicated guides you’ll find.
Your trip will take place on a 30’ Stamas center console. She’s powered by twin 250 HP Yamaha engines, equipped with top-notch navigational electronics, and outfitted with outriggers and downriggers for trolling. She’s spacious and comfortable, accommodating up to 6 guests and has a private head on board for those extra-long rides.
On nearshore trips, you’ll head out to battle a wide range of species. You’ll be able to bottom fish for Snapper and Grouper or chase after fast Kingfish. On offshore trips, you can hook Mahi, Wahoo, and Shark, or fish the rigs to target Amberjack and many more!
No matter which trip you choose, you’ll have state-of-the-art rods and reels, as well as bait and lures available on board. Just be sure to purchase a fishing license prior to the trip, bring along some food and drinks to stay replenished, and don’t forget the sunscreen!

Full Day Trip – Offshore on December 29, 2024
Had a blast for an off season trip. Maxed out on red snapper early. Captain Paul was awesome put us on fish and his son Trey was a very good deck hand if that kid decides to be a captain one day he would be a great captain. I would definitely recommend and will use again

Full Day Trip – Offshore on October 22, 2022
We had the most lovely day with Captain Paul and his son/first mate Tray. We had initially planned to go the deep water route, but the weather (and wind) changed leading to much higher swells. Captain Paul had multiple alternative plans and we hit several inland (bay/river locations); it turned out to be a real magical day. Plenty of fish; great conditions (under circumstances). Look forward to doing it again!

3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore on October 19, 2019
Boat and Captain were ready and waiting when we arrived. Boat had an onboard head, and it was clean. Great A/C below deck if we needed a break from the heat. The fishing was great and Paul was very easy in direction and assistance. He let us know when we needed to reel and did an excellent job of taking care of every aspect. He had a great sense of humor, pointed out things as we went along sharing a lot of stories and what we might expect. It was a great trip and I hope to do it again very soon. I would highly recommend Reelhard Fishing and Captain Paul. Fish were cleaned and bagged while we waited. Great experience.
