Sportsman Media is here to help you experience the stunning waters of South Padre Island. Your guide for the day is Captain Fred, which allows you to benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
Around here it’s common to catch Flounder, Redfish, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, and more, depending on conditions. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, popping, drifting, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Don’t forget to bring snacks!
Your trip begins aboard a 24’ Shallow Sport bay boat with space for 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you will 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.
Don’t leave home without sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Sportsman Media will make it easy for you to go fishing in South Padre Island. So, how about booking that trip?
