If you're ready to experience fishing in South Padre Island, we've got you covered with On The Bay Fishing Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Jonathan is prepared to put you on fish.
Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Flounder, Mangrove Snapper, Snook, and more are in the cards if you cast your line at the right time of year. For these species, you're likely to drift and bottom fish using light tackle.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also remember to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
You'll be casting lines from a 23' Majek Illusion bay boat that holds up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.
You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. 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.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). 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. There will be some light snacks available on board.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with On The Bay Fishing Charters.
