Clear Lake Fishing Charters I

Want to experience the best trip on beautiful Clear Lake and surrounding waters? Captain Allen will work hard to ensure you can relax, enjoy the water, catch some fish, and make lots of great memories with your family, friends, or co-workers on his beautiful 23.5 foot, twin-engine center console fishing boat.

Come aboard with Captain Allen, whose main priority is to get you on some fish and ensure you have a great time. Expect to use techniques like light and heavy tackle, bottom or drift fishing, jigging, popping corks, and spinning reels, depending on the species we’re targeting and your level of expertise. We will primarily be fishing for Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and Speckled Trout.

Your boat for the day will be a clean 23.5’ deep vee center console Mako that accommodates up to 6 anglers. The deep vee hull, with its high gunnels, provides a safe, comfortable ride and offers greater range to get out to some of the more desirable fishing spots. The boat includes a large t-top for shade, deep live well, a toilet, and all the necessary fishing gear for your trip. Live bait is also included in the cost of your trip. 

The boat will be supplied with plenty of iced-down water, but you are welcome to bring your own food and drinks to be stored in our boat cooler if you desire. Don’t forget a fishing license for everyone over the age of 17.

You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal. Upon return to the dock, Captain Allen will filet all fish and pack it up for your ride home.

Up for a family trip? This is a child-friendly business, so bring your littles to share in the memories. Thinking of entering a tournament? Let Captain Allen be your guide!

Book your trip now and hit the water with Clear Lake Fishing Charters. It’ll be one of the best things you do this year!
