Open Ocean Sportfishing
Open Ocean Sportfishing is located in Port Aransas and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters. The crew specializes in inshore and offshore fishing and prides itself in getting its passengers hooked on a variety of fish species while catering to all anglers, from novice to experienced. The charters depart out of Fisherman’s Wharf.
This crew will do its best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 6 to 24-hour trips, mainly fishing for King Mackerel, Snapper, Dolphin, Wahoo, Marlin, Sailfish, and Swordfish, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, and jigging.
Your fishing adventure starts on the Double Trouble, a 31’ 2020 Twin Vee catamaran that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with an ice-box.
All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. The crew also provides fuel and water bottles. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. If you have questions, feel free to reach out.

Rough and fun day
Water was rough going out made worse with the boat being a little small. Otherwise it was a good trip. Equipment and crew will go the extra mile to help you get the fish. Out first mate (tyler) really did a excellent job of making sure we all had fun especially my 15 Yr old son.
