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!  VERY IMPORTANT: My fishing trip capacity for both offshore and inshore are normally 3 persons.  However, a 4th person may be added when possible, please message me to get specifics. 

Specializing in nearshore Red Snapper charters in state reefs and wrecks. 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.  However, on occasion lures may be more fun.  The trips are mainly for 3 persons, however, 4 persons may be available with special provisions.  Do inquire.

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.  Reel important to discuss details of your group to see if a 4th person can go. 

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. Bring bottled water or your favorite hydrating drinks, especially in the summer. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid overdoing it.

Take a small boat nearshore fishing trip off your bucket list. Let's go out there and enjoy the beautiful waters off of South Padre Island, and catch some tasty snapper that you can enjoy the day you caught it.
Catch the moment, keep the fish!

Amazing Red Snapper Trip.
5 Hr. Snapper Trip – 2 persons $500 on March 2, 20262 adults
Just got back from a half-day offshore trip with Captain Rolo and I can't recommend him enough! From the moment we left the dock, Captain Rolo knew exactly where to find the fish. We were hooked up with Red Snapper within the first hour. He was incredibly knowledgeable, helping us manage lines and getting the fish in the boat quickly. The boat was clean, fast, and equipped with top-notch gear. We caught our limit and had a blast. If you’re looking for a professional, hard-working captain , this is it! We will definitely be booking again next season.

5 Hr. Snapper Trip – 2 persons $500 on October 11, 20242 adults
A few days after stormy conditions the fishing was questionable. Captain Rolando recommended a delay of a day, went out to test the fishing and reported good snapper bites a few miles out in clear water. We had a great trip the next day and quickly caught our limit and released many smaller legal fish on the way to our limit. Perfect boat for 2 to 3 fishermen. Great vibe and super enjoyable trip.
