Based out of Corpus Christi, Slick Charters is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Capt. R. T. is here to get you on some fish, and to make sure you have fun doing it. You'll be using techniques like bottom fishing, drift fishing, and popping, depending on what you're going after. As part of my half day trips, you can target species like Redfish, Black Drum, Flounder, Speckled Trout, depending on the current season and weather conditions.

Your adventure begins on board a 19 Shoalwater Scout boat that can fit a maximum of 2 anglers. When it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything you need is included in the price. Make sure to get your fishing license before the trip starts.

You're welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip. Up for a family adventure? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with.

Please message the Captain on FishingBooker for groups over 2, especially if you have small kids in your group. He will work with you, if possible. Additionally, kindly note that last-minute bookings for Friday, Saturday or Sunday means we may have difficulty getting live bait.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Slick Charters.

We came to visit the golf course on the beach vacation and my daughter found this guide. Had no idea what to expect, he was extremely friendly and personable. We had a great time catching speckled trout. He was very patient which was appreciated because my daughter and I had not done this kind of fishing before. Long story short, we caught our limit and had a ball!

RT was great! He knew exactly where the fish were and my wife and I caught both trout and redfish. We are both beginners and RT was patient and taught us everything we needed to know about drift fishing. All in all it was an amazing day!

I love fishing first and foremost. Thanks to all of my family and family friends I have enjoyed the great outdoors with. I like smaller groups because it is more personal. I really enjoy helping people to learn how to fish. Capiche!
