Capt. Andrew’s Inshore Charters
Capt. Andrew’s Inshore Charters
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.

Mark Scott5.0VerifiedWent shark fishing
Inshore bay fishing on September 9, 2025 • 2 adultsSo me and my wife went shark fishing, and he knew the best spots to catch bait fish, and put us on them and on some trout! We went in with the thought of not catching a single shark, but we caught 2 black tip sharks! We had amazing fun so we're ecstatic! This is the best birthday I had in a while definitely recommend!

Nick PatsonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFull Day Shark Fishing
Half Day Trip – Shark Fishing on June 18, 2020 • 2 adultsAndrew was great! Really nice guy. We set out to catch a shark and we did!. He had a plan and it worked. In the process, we caught other fish including speckled trout. Fun day, well worth it with Andrew. This trip was fresh off the heels of us using another guide who didn't make the trip quite as enjoyable as Andrew did. We won't need to try out other guides anymore, we found ours! Thanks Andrew!

Half Day Trip – Bay (AM) on June 14, 2021 • 5 adultsGreat trip. Fishing was a little slow and captain Andrew made a audible to put my 14 year old on some shark for his birthday. Awesome trip
Luc BilletteRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBay trip with Captain Andrew
Half Day Trip – Bay (AM) on June 30, 2019 • 2 adultsHad a great time with Andrew! He promised to take care of us and certainly did, Got some good luck with jacks early in the morning, and then had trouble getting trout (still got one keeper). Managed to hook a 100lb shark, but it came off. He was also very patient and understanding with my brother who has special needs, which is always something that is important to me. Andrew clearly knows the waters around here, highly recommended!

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
