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 Day on the water!
Half Day Trip Morning on May 28, 20262 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, 20262 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, 20261 adult1 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!

I've been fishing freshwater Bass tournaments since I was 18 years old. I've been fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and bay waters for over 30 years. I am now a local guide here in the PORT ARANSAS and ARANSAS PASS/ROCKPORT area.
