If you're going to cast a line in Texas City, look no further than Southern Water Fishing Adventures. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Gabriel can tell you all about them.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Redfish, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, Spotted Seatrout, Whiting, Flounder, Drummer / Rock Blackfish, and anything else that bites. During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, 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! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Your trip begins aboard a 22' Pathfinder bay boat that holds up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

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.

It's always wise to bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Southern Water Fishing Adventures. We offer fully furnished trip ,rods,tackle & waters life jackets are on board for everyone for kids and adults, you are allowed to brings other drinks and snacks…
