Explore the crystal clear flats of South Padre Island with Trinity Fishing Charters. Captain Trae has been fishing in the area since he was a child and he knows everything about the fish movement, which equipment to use, and where to find his catch. Based in the lower part of the island, close to Port Isabel, you’ll easily find the dock and start your fishing adventure.

The boat you’ll be fishing from is a 21’ New Water boat that accommodates up to 4 anglers. This flats boat is perfect for shallow waters you’ll be fishing on and it easily reaches the spots other boats can’t. The vessel is powered by a 200 HP engine and also features a live bait tank, navigational electronics, and a cooler.

Take a short 4-hour trip if you just want a few hours of relaxation or step up and give a full day trip a try. With a longer trip, you’ll have more chances for a bucket full of fish and more practice. Some of the species you can go after are Redfish, Trout, Snook, Flounder, Black Drum, and Sheepshead. All hard work pays off in the end, as you get to keep the catch. Even better, you’ll get it all cleaned and filleted before you leave the boat.

All fishing equipment and bottled water are covered by the captain. You need to purchase your fishing license and pack whatever snacks and drinks you like. It’s recommended to have a pair of sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen as well.

Trinity Fishing Charters welcome you and your friends or family aboard any time of the year. Just pick a date.
