Come aboard Padre Island Expeditions and discover the remote wilderness and incredible fishing on offer in Padre Island National Seashore. The 67 miles of coastline of South Beach is untouched by many, which is why Captain Colin Davis loves it so much.

He grew up fishing using commercial techniques before uncovering the beauty of Padre Island. He loves getting to the quietest of spots, being at one with the ocean, and getting his fish on against some of the biggest creatures out there, and hopes to share his passion with you.

You'll reach the secluded spots of the coastline, thanks to Capt. Colin's powerful beach vehicle. She'll take you across the sand to set up camp, and keep the trolling rods upright as you look to entice the bite of your target fish. You'll troll with a Zodiac inflatable boat taking your lures to sea, or you can even hop in and try bottom fishing from the vessel.

Come aboard for a full day or a couple of days, camping on the beach, as you make the most of the incredible, untouched nature all around. Spend your time going after some delicious nearshore dwellers such as Trout, Pompano, Drum, and Mackerel, while you'll even get to test your skills against tough-fighting Tarpon and Jacks.

The real prize of fishing from South Beach, though, is the Sharks. Get your fish on against these monstrous predators and experience a battle like never before. This is as intense as it gets, so make sure you bring your A-game to land one of these beasts and head home with an incredible story to tell.

Whether camping or coming for the day, Capt. Colin can provide a lunch of hamburgers and hot dogs for a charge. But he suggests you bring your own drinks and snacks, too, as you'll ve virtually isolated on the beach.

Other than that, all you need to do is grab your TX fishing license and settle in for a thrilling fishing experience. Padre Island Expeditions takes you to places nobody else will, so come aboard for the fishing trip of a lifetime!
