If you’re ready to love fishing in Port Aransas, book a trip with Blue Rush Charters.
Our captains welcome children aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you may 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 might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
It’s always wise to bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now’s the time to experience fishing in Port Aransas for yourself, with Blue Rush Charters!

Blue Rush Charters was amazing!!! Captain Spencer was so great he knew exactly where to go for all the good fish, and was such an amazing help in every way! We even had to reschedule our trip because of lightening, and he rescheduled it on one of his 2 days off out of the month just to make sure we could go out and catch some fish!!! We caught a ton of fish and had such a great time doing it!! We will definitely be booking with Blue Rush Charters again! And we 100% recommend booking it with Captain Spencer you will not regret it!!! If you want to catch a bunch of fish, have a great time, and learn a bunch of knowledge don’t look anywhere else! Captain Spencer is definitely the one to book with!!!

Spencer was awesome..We caught a bunch of fish and had tons of fun hanging with Spencer. Spencer was awesome with Jax and Connor (my young boys). We caught a ton of fish and the memories will last a life time. We will definitely use Spencer the next time are back in Port A.

Captain Spencer was great, and very knowledgeable about everything. He knew where to put us on the fish and gave great tips on how to catch the different species. We caught a bunch and cooked them up for a great dinner with the families. I highly recommend Captain Spencer.

We fished for two days with Capt Spencer and he made sure we had a great trip. Between planning for the weather, an excellent knowledge of the area and just being fun we had a blast. He got us catching us a variety of fish including trout, black drum, reds and a few others for the icebox. Highly recommend Capt Spencer. I've used guides for 30 years in the area and was glad I was able to meet and fish with him.
