If you’re ready to have fun fishing in Port Aransas, look no further than Blue Rush Charters.
Marlin, Red Snapper, Cobia, Cubera Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Kingfish, Great Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, Redfish, Scamp Grouper, Lane Snapper, and more are in the cards, depending on the season. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting 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.
Blue Rush Charters is a child-friendly charter service, so get ‘em offline and onto the water! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Don’t forget to bring snacks, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Water is included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. It’s customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation. You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. 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.

Snapper Burn & Turn - AM on June 22, 2024
Went out on June 22nd even though the seas were very rough, probably should have cancelled. We still had a great time and Spencer found the snapper and we limited out. The trip out and in was rough with 6’ seas, but Spencer got us out there and home safely. There was a family with small children scheduled for the afternoon trip that was angry that Spencer cancelled, but I would never have taken toddlers and a baby out that day either. Spencer was wise to cancel that trip as the waves seemed to get worse in the afternoon.
