If you're ready to go fishing in Port Arthur, Sabine Pass and Cameron Louisiana, look no further than Hardhead Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Luke knows them forwards and back.

Tripletail, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Redfish, Flounder, and more are in the cards, depending on the season. For these species, you're likely to sight cast, drift or bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

If you're traveling with the family, you 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 never a bad idea!

Your vessel for the day is a 22' NauticStar center console with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you may 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 forget to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

If there's more you'd like to know about fishing with Hardhead Charters, just send Capt. Luke a message down below.

Best Trip worth the money!!!
12 Hour Trip on January 22, 2026
Best guide out there!!! Captain Luke was very attentive from the very beginning when we had questions regarding services to the time we got back to the dock with plenty of fish. Perfect for beginner family fishing trip or a trip with expert anglers for a fish haul. Captain Luke put us on the fish. Extremely knowledgeable in everything fish related and very personable made it both fun and educational. You can tell his his heart is in it, we spoke the entire time, hilarious dude. He seems to want to leave a lasting impression on his clients. Captain Luke went above and beyond our expectations, Absolutely the Best guided trip I've Ever been on. Will definitely be booking again. Cheers.
