Hold’em Up LLC
Hoping to catch some fish in Aransas Pass? Hold’em Up is here to make it happen! Captain Aldo will be your guide, offering years of local experience.
Species like Redfish, Black Drum, Flounder, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, and more are in the cards, depending on conditions. During the trip you might be popping, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, 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. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!
Your day begins aboard a 19' Shoalwater catamaran with space for 3 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether 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 may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's recommended to bring bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Your trip with Hold’em Up is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Great Family Trip
I was searching for a charter that would be good for my 6 year old son and I to get on the water and catch fish. Captain Aldo was awesome with my son, who hasn’t been on boats or on the water much. He made sure he had a good time, was safe, and learned fishing along the way. 10/10, will book again.

Awesome day on the water.
Enjoyed a relaxing day on the water. Captain was very sociable and knowledgeable. Found plenty of fish action in difficult weather conditions. I have been on plenty of other charters around the world and HoldemUp! Is among the best.
