Port Aransas has a fish with your name on it! These waters are known for Blue Marlin, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Cubera Snapper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Cobia, Sailfish, White Marlin, Swordfish, Tilefish, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using heavy tackle.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome!
And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Your vessel for the day is a 40' Luhrs offshore sport fishing vessel with space for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. We have rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 15–30% tip is customary.

Before coming aboard, you will be required 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 may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

What to bring— water, food, drinks- alcohol is okay (no glass). A cooler is okay to bring.

Sunscreen(ABSOLUTELY NO SPRAY SUNSCREEN) fishing license, towel, sunglasses.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water on the Side-chic with Gulf Magic Fishing.

12 Trip with Captain Smith
12 Hour Trip on June 28, 2024
I recently had the pleasure of joining Captain Smith and his deckhand for a 12-hour fishing charter, and it was nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, Captain Smith's professionalism and expertise were evident, making the trip an unforgettable experience. We targeted red snapper and thanks to Captain Smith's knowledge of the best fishing spots, we all hit our limits! The excitement of reeling in one red snapper after another made the day thrilling. Trey was incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed and providing tips to improve our catches. The boat was well-maintained and equipped with everything necessary for a successful day on the water. Captain Smith’s commitment to safety and comfort made us feel at ease, allowing us to fully enjoy the fishing adventure. Overall, I highly recommend Captain Smith's fishing charter. Whether you're an experienced angler or a beginner, you're guaranteed a fantastic day filled with great catches and wonderful memories. This trip exceeded all my expectations, and I can't wait to go back!

12 Hour Trip on August 18, 2023
Unforgettable experience more than 80 miles off shore. The weather was perfect and the captain knew what he was doing. The highlight of the trip was being up in the Tuna Tower and seeing a whole school of Dorado swim under the boat. There must have been 30 of them just a few feet below the surface. Then it happened again on day 2! 10/10 would recommend
