If fishing in the Port Aransas area is on your bucket list, look no further than Wind Knot Charters! 
Captain James will be your guide, allowing you to benefit from years of local experience.

Around here, fishing is popular for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, and more with any luck.

On these trips, you can expect to hunt for fish in shallow waters and take your shot at them with a fly rod! Fly rod outfits are provided by the charter. However, if you have your own, don’t hesitate to bring it aboard! Light tackle spinning and bait casting rods are provided as well if that is your preferred method of fishing.

Capt. James is happy to have kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

You'll step aboard an 18' flats skiff that can carry up to 2 passengers.

Before coming aboard, you'll 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 the local regulations.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, time to hit the water with Captain James!

James was very informative about weather patterns & various fishing education. Every stop we made, we caught fish. Red Fish & Trout. James would point out schools of Red Fish & Perch. We did see Sting Rays, Dolphins & Jellyfish. He provided us with an amazing first time experience for me & my husband. I would definitely recommend him!

We caught big fish and had a great time.

Captain James was awesome, super knowledgeable and friendly. We had thought the weather would interfere with our day, but it made for Cooler conditions. We put Ourselves in the hands of the captain and his experience paid off I would recommend him to anyone who wants to try, casting the mangrove islands of Corpus Christi Bay. We caught speckled trout and a couple of large redfish. We kept one and ate it. It was delicious.
