Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.
Book your next trip with Stay Salty Charters and find out what the fishing in Port Aransas is all about. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Charles can tell you all about them.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Black Drum, Flounder, Redfish, Blacktip Shark, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, Spotted Seatrout, and anything else that bites. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself 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! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Don't forget to bring snacks – luckily, Capt. Charles will have some on board!
You'll be dropping lines from a 23' Explorer bay boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Capt. Charles will supply rods and reels for you. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
Before coming aboard, it will be necessary 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 may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some bottled water on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, come aboard with Stay Salty Charters and get hooked!
Also if there is a specific date that you want and its blocked out on calender shoot me a message and lets see what we can do to accommodate you! Tight lines everyone.

Paul Queen•
Kansas, USMember since 20265.0Verifiedall the locals said the fishing wouldn't be good because it had a cold front move in a day or so before
4 Hour Trip — Morning on April 7, 2026 • 2 adultshey I haven't had a trip with my oldest son for several years so we wanted to do something together drove down from Kansas and Colorado check out the Riverwalk at San Antonio and I think we caught maybe 10 or 12 of these saltwater catfish that the captain Baker hated I could see pretty bad spines the barbs on catfish can be painful and he simply would take a pair of pliers and remove them from the hooks so they were no good to eat and I believe it we did catch two red fish the one might have been 3 lbs 4 lbs delicious how to cook th at a place called fins although there were several other places we could have chosen wonderful experience Captain Baker took us to a lot of different spots in the four and a half hours he gave us thank you sir
Mark LipinskiRepeat angler•Texas, US•Member since 20252 trips5.0VerifiedGreat experience
4 Hour Trip — Morning on May 28, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childCaptain Charles was awesome. We caught a limit, with just me and my 10 year old son. It was tough fishing because of all the fresh water dumped in by the storm, but captain Charles put us in a spot where we caught a lot of fish. Unfortunately, they came up an inch to an inch and a half short of the state size limit. All in all an awesome experience and we plan on booking a couple more trips with him later this summer. I would 100% recommend Captain Charles, especially to anyone with younger children..
Greg Gostynski•Texas, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedNewMonster Reds!
5 Hour Trip — Morning on September 1, 2026 • 1 adultGreat trip! Capt. Charley put me right on Reds and monsters at that! We limited out of Reds and Trout! Would definitely recommend! p.s. you know you picked the right guide when everyone keeps calling him asking where the fish are and you already have a boat load! Keep that in mind when you are selecting your next fishing guide! 10/10
Trey Macdonald•California, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedExceptionally Fun Trip
5 Hour Trip — Morning on April 4, 2026 • 3 adultsCapt. Charlie and his deck hand put us on the fish immediately and we continued to catch them from there on. including tournament sized Redfish! it was full service with an experienced captain and a comfortable boat for my wife as well who was also new to fishing amd they really took care of her. Not to mention they were just cool and easy going guys to hang out with. We will definitely be booking again in the future! Thank you Saty Salty Fishing Charters!
Michael Menasco•Texas, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedRelax and enjoy fishing
3 Hour Trip — Afternoon on March 7, 2026 • 2 adultsThe weather was great, we headed out and fished several locations. This early in March we caught Red fish and a few hard head catfish. I even caught 1 Blue Crab that made it to the deck and ran for his life back into the water. Just made me laugh. We also saw dolphins up close to the boat and an Osprey. Good conversation, and laugh's very relaxing. The caption was Not aggressive when coming in or out of Port and gave us a much smoother ride, which my wife and I appreciated. Extremely hard to think of anything they could improve on. I wouldn't change anything. Next time we are down this way, we are definitely booking with him again.
Jeff Wendel•Texas, USMember since 20264.7VerifiedGreat Time
4 Hour Trip — Afternoon on March 17, 2026 • 3 adultsIt was a cold and windy day which was the only downer. Captain Charles and his first mate Caden were a great team. we only caught one fish but it was not for lack of trying. Captain took us to almost a dozen of his known spots. We did not see anyone else catch anything nor anyone cleaning any at the docks. Charles made a great time out of bad conditions and I would highly recommend him!
Thomas Bui•California, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedAwesome Trip on a rainy day
3 Hour Trip — Afternoon on April 9, 2026 • 5 adultsCapt Charlie was super friendly and was giving tips as fish bit the bait we had. Even though it was raining we still caught 4 reds and 1 huge speckled trout. He took a catfish barb for us too! Highly recommend going out on a charter with Capt Charlie!
Jennifer HindsRepeat angler•Arkansas, US•Member since 20182 trips5.0VerifiedWill Definitely Use Again!!
4 Hour Trip — Morning on March 26, 2026 • 3 adultsThere were four people in my group, myself and three teen boys, and we had a fantastic time! Captain Charles was experienced and professional and made the trip enjoyable for us all! I highly recommend and will definitely book him again when we return!
Bradley Gardner•Wyoming, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedGreat Experience
4 Hour Trip — Afternoon on March 8, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWhat an experience of a lifetime! Captain Charles had the whole family (w/ 2 kids) engaged the entire time. We were catching fish every 10 minutes and got to keep 4 that were big enough, with one being 29 1/4 inches. Captain Charles was very knowledgeable and helpful with the whole experience and made it very enjoyable for the kids. We definitely will be coming back to fish with Captain Charles!!
