Blue Line Charters

Blue Line Charters is located in Port Aransas and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Captain Mac will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 6-hour trips, mainly fishing for Redfish, Black Drum, Amberjack, Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, and Sheepshead, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, and bottom fishing.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 23’ Sea Hunt BX 22BR boat that can safely take up to 5 anglers. This boat comes with a portable toilet, wireless trolling motor, and a livewell. A first mate will also join your trip.

All rods, reels, terminal tackle, live bait, and lures are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip. The boat will be supplied with drinks for your pleasure, be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or want to bring your own.
