Spend the day with Tightlines Charters and see what's biting in South Padre Island! Your guide for the day is Captain Aaron, which means you'll tap into their sportfishing experience.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Snook, and who knows what else!

During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, drifting, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Aaron also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Families making of a day of it 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. And, you can't go wrong with snacks!

Your excursion begins aboard a 25' Center console that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials.

Capt. Aaron has rods and reels for you, as well as lures.

Before coming aboard, it may be required 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 always wise to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now's the time to experience fishing in South Padre Island for yourself, with Tightlines charters!

Aaron was fantastic, put us on the fish and got our limit on Speckled Trout. Also caught Black Drum and a Flounder. Would come back and do it again.
