If you're going to cast a line in Arroyo City, look no further than Lifetime Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Eloy can tell you all about them.

These waters are known for Black Drum, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Redfish, and more – with any luck, they'll make your reel scream. On these trips, you can expect to drift and bottom fish using light tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that's dinner!

Capt. Eloy operates a 21' Bay boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Eloy will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures.

Before coming aboard, you may 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 what to expect.

Kids are welcome on board. If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Bring snacks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Lifetime Charters and get hooked!

    Two of the best trips ever!

    4 Hour fishing trip/ 4 person max on September 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Eloy, just wanted to say thank you for two awesome days on the water. You put us on the fish, kept us laughing, and made the whole experience something we’ll remember long after the fish are gone. 🎣 You can tell when someone genuinely enjoys what they do, and it shows in how you treated us from start to finish. We really appreciate you taking care of us — right down to cleaning up “the meat” at the end. 😂 Great fishing, great company, and even better memories. We’ll definitely be looking you up the next time we’re down here. Thanks again, Captain. Puro 956! 🤙🏽🎣

    BEST FISHING TRIP WITH THE BEST CAPTAIN!

    4 Hour fishing trip/ 4 person max on October 6, 2025 • 2 adults

    We booked a last minute fishing trip for my birthday and I’m so glad we did! Captain Eloy was magnificent, kind, and very hospitable. He communicated well prior to the trip about meeting time, location, & what to expect. He was very patient with us being beginner angulars. He helped us cast until we were comfortable, baited our hooks the whole time, unhooked any fish we caught - he basically took care of it all and taught us so much! He worked his tail off to help us get as many keepers as possible. His boat was nice, clean, and a very smooth ride. I’d recommend him to anyone thinking about booking, & can’t wait for our next trip out here to fish with him again soon!

Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and professional guide. Even the windy conditions didn't put a damper on what we pulled in. Eloy was a true blessing, and we had a blast !

    Great Day of Trout Fishing

    4 Hour fishing trip/ 4 person max on November 13, 2024 • 2 adults

    Captain Eloy went above and beyond, doing the little things it took to get us into fish. We caught our limits of trout and even one over the slot that we photographed and released. We also caught lots of red drum just under the size limit. It was an outstanding day on the water. Captain Eloy was knowledgeable and professional. Would definitely come back and book another trip with him.
