Slick Fin Charters invites you on a fun and enjoyable fishing adventure on the inshore waters of South Padre Island. Come join Captain Ruben Riojas III and have a great time fishing all the best spots in the area and watching beautiful nature.
Capt. Ruben will do everything in his power to make your trip the best possible, so join him on the water and have a memorable fishing experience in South Padre Island!
The vessel you'll be using for fishing is a 21' Shallow Sport flats boat. It can accommodate up to 6 anglers, runs on a 200HP Suzuki engine, and uses modern GPS technology for safe and efficient trips. Also, it's rigged with a livewell to keep the bait fresh.
The species you can go after include Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, and Black Drum, and you can target them by bottom fishing, popping, as well as drift fishing. All the fish you catch is yours to keep and take home, but you're free to release it back to the water if you prefer so.
You can also bring kids on your trip. They might create memories of a lifetime and the atmosphere on the boat can only be even more fun. Capt. Ruben will supply all the fishing gear you'll need for the trip as well as take care of cleaning and filleting your catch. Bring your licenses, snacks, and drinks, and you'll be ready for the adventure.

We didn't have any experience saltwater fishing, and the captain was really good at teaching me and my boy how to fish for what we were after. We got on trout really quick, and once we hit our limit, we went after the reds. Overall it was a great trip, memorie were made and we look forward to doing it again.

thank you all for booking!!

thanks for booking
The day started out at 7am. Capt. Ruben was early, his boat was orderly and equipment was ready to go. We got right to getting to the fishing spots. Al the equipment used was operational and in excellent shape. Live well was full of bait. First cast out my son hooked a nice spotted sea trout and the day continued with fish after fish. Capt. Ruben was professional and down to earth. He was fantastic with my son and answered all his questions. I would highly recommend booking with him and we will again when we return.

Glad both of y’all had a good time, thank you all once again!
Ruben took me and my three boys on a great half day bay trip. Great communication, on time, humility with my boys and Caught a bunch of fish!! Highly recommend

Thank you all for booking! Glad y’all had a good time!

Captain Ruben is a heck of fishing guide. He worked hard all day long and was a pleasure to be around. My wife and I had a great time fishing with him. Plus she landed this trophy trout which made the trip even sweeter!!! We highly recommend this trip. The captain is Top Notch! Thanks again!
