Make the most of your time in Port Isabel and go fishing with Blue Fly Adventures. Captain Brandon will be your guide, bringing aboard years of sportfishing experience.

Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Snook, Flounder, Tarpon, Jack Crevalle, Blacktip Shark, Black Drum, and more could be biting if conditions are right. You'll target your catch by flyfishing, spinning, popping, drifting, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with bringing snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

Your boat for the day is a 17' Ankona Skiff that can carry up to 2 passengers. It has all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures.

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. A few items to bring include sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Waters are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

You could keep reading this, but wouldn't you rather be fishing with Blue Fly Adventures?

Morning Fishing Trip
Flyfishing the Flats on June 28, 20233 adults

We had a great time on the boat. It was clean and Brandon steered the boat very well. We saw a dolphin and some turtles. Unfortunately, we did not catch many fish. My daughter caught a couple catfish which was fun. The experience was fun. Brandon took us fishing next to SpaceX and along the bay. Overall pleasant trip!

Reported catch:
Redfish
Black Drum
Speckled Trout
