Rolo's Fishing Adventures 

Spend the day with Rolo’s Panga Adventures and get hooked on fishing the beautiful clear gulf waters just off the coast of South Padre Island!

Specializing in Red Snapper charters in state waters. At times bonus catches like Mahi, Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper, Lane Snapper, and/or Cobia. On these trips, it’s common to use mainly cut bait.

Rolo’s Panga Adventures are kid-friendly, so get them offline and onto the water! Parents must supply a life vest for any child under adult size. All must wear life vests. Make sure you bring your favorite sandwiches, tacos, and/or snacks. Make sure to bring additional water or hydrating drinks in the summer.

You will be fishing on a 22' Imemsa panga. It is definitely a small Gulf fishing adventure. Folks usually enjoy the boat ride as much as the fishing, especially the kids.  Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as some lures.

Before coming aboard, you need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online with Texas Parks and Wildlife, 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.

Some essentials to bring are a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be bottled water on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Rolo’s Panga Adventures is now doing bay fishing.  I specialize in family trips with young would-be fisherman.  I will ask parent or parents to engage an assist with their child in the process of casting, reeling, and netting.  Fishing with popping corks with lures and with live shrimp.  Target species is usually speckled trout, but other species may very well be caught.  So if offshore swells are too high, we can convert our offshore trip into a bay fishing trip for the family.
