Fish the productive Texan waters in Port Aransas with RNR Outfitters! Captain Ralph Ray has been a licensed charter captain for 47 years and spends more time on the water than he does on land. He’ll take you to all the hottest inshore and nearshore spots within a 50-mile radius.

You’ll be casting off of a 22’ Skeeter bay boat, perfect for exploring the flats and bays. She can comfortably accommodate 4 anglers who can all fish at the same time. There’s plenty of ice storage for your catch, but bringing a cooler to store your snacks and drinks for the day is recommended.

Capt. Ralph specializes in inshore and nearshore fishing. You’ll be targeting the likes of Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder. If you’re in town between May and November, you’ll also have a shot at the Kingfish and Spanish Mackerel that swim up close to shore.

A trip with Capt. Ralph includes all the fishing gear you’ll need for a productive day out on the water. Falcon rods, Fin-Nor reels, and quality tackle will all be waiting for you on board. Just remember to purchase a fishing license before you arrive for your trip. Any catch you choose to keep can be cleaned and filleted by a local fisherman at the dock for 50 cents a pound.

Enjoy a productive day out on the water in the fishing capital of Texas with RNR Outfitters!
