Captain Murphy's invites you to experience the stunning waters of the Laguna Madre Bay System around South Padre Island.
The Laguna Madre Bay System is known for Seatrout, Sheepshead, Blacktip Shark, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Black Drum, Whiting, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few! For these species, you're likely to bottom fish using light tackle.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Customers are encouraged to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
Your trip begins aboard a 46' HB Headboat with space for 30 passengers. It has all the essentials, including covered seating and a restroom on board. Rods and reels are provided, however you may bring your own if you prefer.
You'll have the help of a deckhand if needed. The crew works hard for you, and tips are greatly appreciated. It's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
Anyone 17 and older will need a valid Texas Saltwater Fishing License before the trip. This information is available online at Texas Parks & Wildlife.
Remember to bring a hat, sunglasses, food, drinks, bottled water, and sunscreen. Alcohol is allowed if you'd like; just be sure to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.
Your trip with Captain Murphy's is just a click away, so why not make it happen?
