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.

Daniel Haston5.0VerifiedNewOutstanding day on the water with owner and Captain Luke, money well spent
4 Hour Trip on November 3, 2026 • 1 adultGreat trip with Luke, the owner of Hardhead Charters. I caught one of the biggest black drum and sheepshead of my life, plus several specks, a few reds, and some fun action under the birds. Luke knows the area, he’s friendly, and he cares about getting you on fish. Money well spent. I’ll be back and I’d recommend Luke to anyone fishing in Port Arthur.

4 Hour Trip - 11:00 AM on October 28, 2026 • 1 adultGreat experience with HardHead Charters! I booked from 11-4pm. Luke was friendly and knowledgeable put me on fish with live bait and artificial lures. We caught Flounder, Speckled Trout, Sand Trout and a ~25lb!! Black Drum. Luke was great to fish with and I am looking forward to bringing some family down for another charter ASAP.

4 Hour Trip on July 6, 2026 • 2 adultsThis was the best trip ever. I cant believe how great of a day it was. We were on the fish immediately, we caught our limit on multiple species in just a few hours. Captain Luke was an amazing captain that made you feel like you were on a trip with the boys. It was very refeshing being with a guide who truly loves what he does and actually wants to be there. I would recommend him to anyone. I will be giving him a call everytime I come to the area from now on!!!
Brian Herrick5.0VerifiedGood times, Solid Trip
4 Hour Trip on June 28, 2026 • 2 adultsEnjoyed are trip with Captain Luke, no shortage of fish caught, solid boat and reels. I've been on a few guided trips and Captain Luke made sure we were always over fish, replaced snagged or damaged hooks quick and stepped in to help us get our lines back in the water quick to keep us in the game. Would recommend, I'll be reaching back for late summer trip.
Merritt Weeks5.0VerifiedAwesome morning of casting and reeling!
4 Hour Trip on August 7, 2026 • 2 adultsSo many varieties of fish — and Captain Luke knows how and where. We caught speckled trout, black drum, mango snapper, and black tip shark. We also caught several hard head shark—which is just fun for the reel in. Good communication all around. Captain Luke is in his element—and he certainly made this a memorable experience.
Robert Hale5.0Verifiedgreat Trip will definitely be back
