Surfside Beach, TX, United States

There's a fish with your name on it in Surfside Beach and Capt'n West will help you catch it!
Over 50 years fishing these waters and licensed over 40 years.

These waters are known for Flounder, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper ,Speckled Trout ,Gaff top, Blacktip Shark , and more – with any luck, it won't be long before 'Fish on!' On these trips, you can expect to use light tackle.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea to stay fueled throughout your trip!

You'll step aboard a 22' Alumacraft bay boat that holds up to 3 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Capt. Mark will supply rods and reels for you.

Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Capt'n West Charters!

Trip times may vary according to conditions to give the best advantage to catch optimal fishing times.

I promise you will be greeter with a smile!

OMG HAD THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE!!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 12, 20261 adult1 child
I couldn't say enough about Captain Wes. He's the best captain I've ever had. I would definitely go back out with him and I plan on doing more trips. took my 8-year-old son and he had a blast. needless to say, I don't have the words of the time that we had. I would definitely plan another trip which we're planning already. definitely the definitely the best time of a lifetime!!

Ca West Chaters.
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 17, 20253 adults
Ca was amazing. Very nice, very knowledgeable and worked his tail off trying to get us on fish. Only managed 1 limit of Reds plus a mangro snapper bit landed lots of fish thatbwere just a little too.small. stayed out a little longer than expected trying to get.more.fish out of the goodness of his heart. 100% recommend and will definitely be my gont9 guide when I visit Surfside.

Captain Mark Put Us On The Fish
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 2, 20253 adults
Captain Mark did a great job taking care of me and my two sons. We had a lot of fun. Early morning, but we caught some good fish for frying. Fishing in the late morning was a blast landing several big sharks. Thanks Captain Mark. We will see you again soon.
