Spend the day with Coastal Texas Fishing Charters and let them show you what makes the fishing in Aransas Pass so memorable! With Captain Lee at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Black Drum, Redfish, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and anything else that bites. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, popping, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned.

Trips with Coastal Texas Fishing Charters are child-friendly, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. A few items to bring include snacks, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be water and Gatorade on board. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

You'll find yourself aboard a 23' Center console with room for 3 passengers. Capt. Lee will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself. You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Aransas Pass for yourself with Coastal Texas Charter Fishing!

    Great Time

    Half Day Trip Morning on July 2, 2026 • 3 adults

    Great time out on the water, captain did his best to get us on fish even though the fish didn't want to cooperate. I was just happy my son got to experience this and catch some fish.

    Red fish weren’t biting in the usual locations so the captain used his resources and pivoted to a new location and the bite was on with 24 keepers. manegrove snappers and sheepshead were biting.

    Teens caught massive Red Drums

    Half Day Trip Morning on March 14, 2026 • 4 adults

    My twin boys are relatively new to fishing. Captain David took us to a great spot where they caught a total five red drums. Unfortunately we can only keep two but it was an awesome experience for them.

    Stop Scrolling,,,David is the reel deal!!!

    Full Day Trip on June 21, 2025 • 4 adults

    Five Stars – Great Time on the Water Had the pleasure of fishing with Captain David Lee out of Port Aransas, and it was an experience well worth talking about. From start to finish, David was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure we were in the right spots at the right time. We ended up landing six massive reds—including two impressive bulls—which made for an unforgettable day. David kept things smooth and dialed in the whole time. He clearly knows these waters and how to read the fish. If you’re looking for a solid trip with someone who truly puts in the work without making a big show of it, David’s your guy. Can’t recommend him enough. We’ll be back.

    Great time for the whole family !

    Half Day Trip Morning on July 10, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had a great time fishing with Captain David today. We caught a huge black drum along with a slot red early in the morning. Some other smaller fish throughout the day, but everyone had a great time. He was easy to contact and answer any questions I had, and was exactly where he said he would be in the morning. We even fished for more than five hours! He filleted our fish for us, and we are looking forward to enjoying our catch for dinner. He had some great tips to help us all become better fisherman, I would definitely go out with Captain David again!

    Just Book Him.

    1/2 Day Trip Afternoon on June 8, 2024 • 3 adults

    This trip consisted of three passengers; my brother in law, my dad, and myself and took place in the bay. Captain Lee was very professional at all times and aided us anytime needed (and we would need it since each of us caught a sizable fish.) While the day consisted of different species of undersize fish, the most notable were my dad's Red Drum, my Black Drum, an my brother in law's Bonnethead Shark. Whenever the current spot we were at ceased to produce catches, Captain Lee would direct us to the next successful site. Along the boat rides, we were privileged enough to view dolphins swimming above the surface of the water as well. At the end of the trip, Captain Lee provided us with the filets which we then took to have prepared at a restaurant. I'll definitely be booking again. Some things my dad would like to add are that this was a fun trip with plenty of tugs on the line and fish caught on a really fast, fun boat with an engaging fishing guide looking to impart his skills and knowledge to his clients and get some fish in the boat.

    First time in Texas

    Half Day Trip Morning on August 3, 2024 • 2 adults

    Went out with Captain David for the day precisely at 7:30am. The bait was fresh and lively massive shrimp. Made for plenty of action throughout the day. Rods/rigs were perfect for conditions we fished under and well maintained. My main target was my first Texas Red and he put us on them with no hesitation. Will definitely recommend to anyone in the area and I’m already being pestered to come back to Texas to go out again!

Great Day on the water!
Half Day Trip Morning on May 28, 2026 • 2 adults

we started our trip an hour later due to weather and fishing reports. Captain was there at the dock and had everything ready upon arrival. Bay was calm and weather looked promising. The ride out to the selected fishing area was smooth and interesting ships and views to talk about. Upon stopping the fishing began. Wife and I started catching fish. Mangrove Snapper, as well as at least five other species. The Spotted Trout started biting after a short move. The Redfish remained hidden but the Trout and others posibly a shark kept us busy. We limited out on Trout and moved our location to find those Redfish. After fishing an hour after or more and no luck we headed back in. Upon arrival back at the docks we found out others also fishing that day didn’t hook up to any Redfish. The Captain wasted a lot of fuel attempting to locate those Redfish. But it was just the weather and timing they just weren’t biting this day. We had a great time the weather was comfortable and the Captain sure tried to make it better. We will be back and we will tell our friends of this fun trip fishing. Boat was clean and equipment in top notch condition. All safety rules were followed by the Captain and we had a wonderful day on the Bay. Kevin and Lisa Smith

Half Day Trip Morning on June 29, 2026 • 2 adults

Captin Dave was awsome. Showed up before scheduled time. Brought everything you needed. Water was a little rough but we all survived. 5 out of 5 stars. Would fish with him anyday any time. Not only a captin that knows his stuff he was safe in doing so. Best part about the whole trip besides his company is not a single person got hooked. just the fish. Thanks again captin Dave hope to see you in the future.

Great Day on the Water with Captain David!
Half Day Trip Morning on June 10, 2026 • 1 adult • 1 child

Had a blast on our half-day trip with Captain David! Fishing was slow to start, but we stayed patient and finished strong, reeling in plenty of fish and bringing home a few keepers. Captain David was friendly, knowledgeable, and great with my son, making the whole experience fun for both of us. If you’re in the Port Aransas/Corpus Christi area and want to get out on the water, book with Captain David. Highly recommend!
