Chasing Tails Guide Service

Spend a fun and enjoyable day on the bountiful waters of Texas and make long-lasting memories together with Chasing Tails Guide Service. Based out of South Padre Island, Captain Heath Schley can take you to numerous fishing grounds and show you the beauty of fishing in this area. From inshore and backcountry waters to reefs and wrecks, he’ll take you to the best spots and make sure you have the best chance of catching fish.

Your adventure starts on a 24’ Majek Reaper bay boat that can safely take up to 4 guests. It runs on a 300 HP Suzuki engine, uses GPS and a fishfinder, along with other navigation gear, and also comes with a livewell. The boat will provide a safe and quick ride to your target spots, with everything you need for a productive day.

On your trip, you and the captain will have plenty of fun trying to catch Flounder, Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Black Drum. To do so, you can use bottom fishing, drift fishing, and popping on light tackle. You’re welcome to keep your catch and take it home or feel free to just release it back into the water.

Capt. Heath will supply all the rods, reels, tackle, and lures needed for the trip. He’ll also cover you for drinks and offer a free fish cleaning service after the trip. Before coming on board, all you need to do is get a fishing license and bring some snacks.
