    Family Fun Fishing !!

    5 Hour – Fishing Trip on June 21, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We booked a Father’s Day fishing trip with Reel Thrills Coastal Adventures, and despite challenging weather conditions, it turned into a fantastic experience for our family. Captain Jeremy did an excellent job navigating the rough waters and made the smart decision to stay closer to the bay rather than push offshore. His skill, professionalism, and focus on safety gave us complete confidence throughout the trip. The quick pivot from an offshore trip to a bay fishing adventure didn't disappoint. The kids caught a wide variety of fish and even reeled in a stingray, which was definitely a highlight of the day! Deckhand Joey was friendly, attentive, and incredibly patient with the kids. Both Jeremy and Joey were extremely knowledgeable about the local waters and marine life, and they took the time to teach my kids every step of the way, making the experience both fun and educational. While the weather didn't cooperate, Jeremy and Joey made sure we still had an amazing day on the water. We will definitely book another trip when conditions are better and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great fishing charter experience.

    Excellent five hour trip

    5 Hour – Fishing Trip on October 7, 2026 • 1 adult

    Captain Hadley and deck hand Brady made this an excellent trip. We targeted Red Snapper on a wreck about one hour out of Port Aransas. It was my first time and Hadley patiently taught me technique. The boat was in good shape and the fishing gear was flawless. The conversation was enjoyable and added to great morning on the water.

    Two days with Reel Thrillz

    5 Hour – Fishing Trip on February 12, 2023 • 4 adults

    Off shore trip was a long hard day on the water without much success. Captain Trace and Jamie were personable and knowledgeable but most importantly they work their butts off trying to get us on the fish. We were able to turn around and get back with Captain Trace and Liam the next day for a State Water Trip and got our limit of Bull Reds. Over two days we spent about 20 hours with the great folks at Reel Thrillz. We highly recommend Reel Thrillz they are professional, personable and hard working. We will be back to Port Aransas and will definitely book with Reel Thrillz again.

    Best 5 hour trip we've had!

    5 Hour – Fishing Trip on June 10, 2024 • 6 adults

    We went out with Cpt. Clinton and Marshall and the trip could not have been better. Clinton got us on the fish and Marshall was spot on as a deckhand. We had a quick limit on huge red snapper then caught a barracuda and some nice sized shark. One of our party members got sea sick and Clinton was awesome about keeping the boat as stable as possible on the ride back. Thanks for the awesome fishing and memories!
