Fish with the captain who has over 30 years of fishing experience! Captain Emilio invites you to join him at Emilio’s Fishing Adventures, at the herat of South Padre Island, and fishing exclusively out of Liam’s Stakehouse and Oyster Bar. He’ll take you on an adventure around the Lower Laguna Madre, where you’ll explore the local flats and inshore waters. With many fish species available throughout the year, the action never stops on this boat.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 23’ Majek Illusion boat, powered by a 2022 Suzuki 200hp engine. This vessel is tournament rigged but also offers a comfortable ride. She features a live bait tank, a cooler, and a wireless trolling motor, and she’s also wheelchair accessible.

Inshore spots are mostly reserved for Tarpon, while the main targets on the flats are Snook and Redfish. These are not the only catch you can get and you can also count on Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Kingfish, and Mangrove Snapper. All of this tasty fish is yours to keep after the trip and Capt. Emilio will clean it for you free of charge.

While your fishing equipment is fully covered, you’ll need to purchase your fishing license. There’s also bottled water on the boat but feel free to bring your drinks and snacks. You can bring your kids along, just get in touch to check if there are life vests in their size on the boat.

Come fishing with Emilio’s Fishing Adventures and spend an amazing day on the water!
