Ready to embark on a thrilling fishing adventure in Port Aransas? Look no further than Bowed Up Fishing Charter, your gateway to catching monster fish and creating lifelong memories. We specialize in catching BIG Sharks, ensuring that you won't be disappointed with the size of your catch.

Your guide Jason knows just where to find the best species, including Blacktip, Bonnethead, Bull, Hammerhead, Tiger, and even the occasional Mako. But it's not just about the big boys; we'll also set up smaller rods to catch whatever else swims by, including Redfish, Black Drum, Jack Crevalle, Pompano, and more. And don't worry about forgetting your catch at home, as all legal fish caught during the trip are yours to keep or release, so have a cooler ready in the car.

Our excursions have no limit on the number of guests you can bring and kids under 17 fish for free, making it a perfect family outing. So come prepared with appropriate clothing for the current weather conditions, sunglasses, sunscreen, and mosquito spray.  And if you have a large group bring some chairs and canopies and get ready to experience the untamed beauty of the Port Aransas area beaches with Bowed Up Fishing Charter.

An ice chest full of cold water, a few beach games, 1 large canopy, and 4 chairs is provoded on every trip. So come get bowed up with Bowed Up Fishing Charter. 
Last minute trips always considered. Just shoot us a message for availability.

8 Hour Trip

One of the best experiences we’ve ever had

VERIFIED

Our trip with captain Jason was a very large success. He was very knowledgeable about the shark, answering all of our questions and you can tell he genuinely loves and respects the beasts. When we hooked the shark, Captain Jason brought a lot of energy and was just as excited as everyone else where as other captains we’ve had treat it more like a job or a chore. He gave very clear instructions and was helpful to those of us who had never caught a shark before, and we were successful in catching a roughly 400 pound bull shark! If I were able to give this charter more than 5 stars, I would. Absolutely amazing.

4 Hour Trip (Evening)

Great experience!

VERIFIED

My family had a great experience! He was awesome with our 4 boys (teens and elementary). We set the lines for shark and while we waited he had a few things for them to do and we chilled on the beach! Swam some, but the jellyfish were thick, so that was minimal! He set up regular poles in the sand and taught them to fish from shore! They loved learning how to do this. We do a lot of freshwater fishing in Iowa, so it was really cool for them to learn how to fish a different way! He was willing to stay as long into the night as we wanted to see if we could get a shark. We ended up leaving around 11 pm because the mosquitos were killing us and we had to be up early the next morning. We did not get a shark, but we had a GREAT time!
