For a relaxing and fun bay fishing trip in southern waters, go to Henry’s Charters. Visit South Padre Island in Texas and join Captain Henry Rodriguez in exploring many spots rich with fish.

You’ll fish on a restored 30’ center console powered by twin 300 HP Mercury Verado engines. It’s got a full onboard navigation system and can accommodate up to 6 guests. It features a private toilet and an ice-box and is rigged with spearfishing and snorkeling equipment and a livewell. For an even better fishing experience, a first mate will be present on board.

The fish that you’ll encounter on these trips include Snapper, Redfish, California Corbina, Amberjack, King Mackerel, Black Drum, and many more. Captain Henry uses both light and heavy tackle and will show you how to bottom fish and spin. He’ll let you keep all the fish you catch. You can also bring kids with you and have a great time together.

Henry’s Charters provides you with all the rods, reels, terminal tackle, live bait, and lures. For a small fee, the crew will clean and fillet your catch. Pack some food and drinks if you want, bring your fishing licenses, and you’re ready to hunt.

See the beauty of South Padre Island and explore its exciting waters with Henry’s Charters.
