Relax, have fun, and catch fish together with Tula Charters! Captain Alana wishes you a warm welcome to Port Isabel, the starting point of your next fishing adventure in Texas. She will guide you on your way to inshore and nearshore waters as well as reefs and use all her experience and skills to put you on the fish. Just pick a day that suits you and step aboard for a memorable fishing trip in Texas!

Your boat for the day will be a 25’ Mowdy bay boat. The vessel takes up to 5 guests, runs on a single 250 HP Suzuki engine, and is equipped with a VHF radio. It also features an ice-box so you can store fish and drinks and a livewell to provide live bait.

Some of the numerous prized species you can encounter on your trip include Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Tarpon, Snook, Mackerel, Flounder, and Redfish. To attract them, you can bottom fish, troll, as well as drift fish, all using light tackle. Kids are welcome to join aboard, so don’t hesitate about bringing them with you. If you decide to keep the fish you catch, Captain Alana will clean and fillet it for you when the trip is over, free of charge.

Your trip will include all the fishing gear, live bait, lures, snacks, and drinks, so the only things you should remember to bring are your fishing licenses.

Join Tula Charters for a day on the water and create beautiful memories fishing!
