Capt. Andrew’s Inshore Charters takes you fishing around the waters of Lower Laguna Madre. If you’re looking for year-round fisheries, a local captain, and a variety of styles, this is the charter for you. Capt. Andrew knows the local waters and will help you get large table fare to brag about.

You can fish for really big Redfish and Speckled Trout. There are also Flounder, Snook, and sharks. Whether it’s sight casting or fishing the spots with ankle-deep waters all the way up to 50' deep spots, you can get it all here. As for the techniques, Capt. Andrew offers spinning, baitcasting, fly, and trolling combos. You can also head out a bit further and target Kingfish, or Red Snapper in state waters.

Whichever trip you choose, Capt. Andrew will help make your time on the water productive. He’s grown up in South Padre Island and has picked up a few tricks and tips to help you get a fish of a lifetime. He knows his way around these waterways and will gladly cater to novice anglers and veteran fishermen.

Children are welcome and there are life jackets for them onboard in 2 different sizes.

The captain will supply all the gear, lures, and can also provide live bait, at an extra charge. Fly fishing gear is also an option, but you must let the captain know before the trip. Make sure to bring a valid fishing license, a cap, sunglasses, food and drinks of choice, sunblock, and light clothes. Remember to bring your camera to get a nice photo of your day. Once you’re ready, hop aboard and let Capt. Andrew lead the way.

All trips are four person max!  We run a 24’ boat and like to have room for each person to fish easily. If more would like to come message to see if we can work it out.

Half Day Trip – Bay (AM)

Great fishing time with Andy

VERIFIED

We had a great time fishing the bay with Andy.. It was at first experience on my grandsons at fishing in the bay Andy was fun and enjoyable, pointed out interesting facts about the area do you make a trip a lot of fun. The only thing that I could say that is not 100% positive if something every patient person would feel and understand it was just a chance the boys caught a lot of fish but they were not big enough to key and we were anticipating to feel our cooler when in reality we only got to bring home three but even at that it was a very enjoyable time and the boys ask if we could go back next year and use Andy again
