Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.
Freeport has a fish with your name on it, so let Why Knot Outfiters help you catch it! Captain Robert will be your guide, so you'll benefit from their sportfishing experience.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Red Snapper, Amberjack, Cobia, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Warsaw Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Lane Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, and plenty more.
For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
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. Don't forget to bring snacks!
You'll be dropping lines from a 39' sportfishing boat with space for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.
You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates often work for tips, and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
You might need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. 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.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Robert is a great captain and I would highly recommend him and Why Knot Outfitters! We had a great experience offshore fishing, some of the guys this was their first time and Robert and his deckhand James were both great fishing instructors. We caught multiple wahoo, grouper, barracuda and everyone got their limit on snapper! Even hooked up a marlin that inevitably got away (that how it goes sometimes) Definitely would recommend Robert and his team! Thanks for the great trip boys, everyone had a good time and it was definitely a safe experience offshore.
thank yall very much
We had a great trip with Capt. Robert! We had 6 people in our party. I selected Robert based on the info on his page. No prior knowledge of him or previous trips. We definitely picked the right team! The boat was great. Big enough for all of us. The AC worked well and the boat was clean and comfortable. The seas were rough on our way out, but Robert had us fishing quickly, stopping first to troll for king. We didn't catch anything at the first stop so we headed further out for our Snapper. That's where the fun began. Robert and his deckhand James worked hard to get us on the fish. We were able to get our limit on Snapper and we then trolled more for King and other species. We found a spot that yielded us a boat full of dorado and a cobia! I can't say enough good things about our trip. We're already planning for next year. Everyone in our group caught fish, enjoyed the day and appreciated the excitement from Robert and James about what we were catching. Great day, great experience, great crew! Highly recommend!
thank yall very much
we drove 10 1/2 hours to fish with Captain Robert on why knot charter. previously we always drove to desting as it was closer, but it was always the same ole type of “fishing”. get on a boat, drop your bait reel in a couple smaller fish and go home. But with Captain Robert, first i woild say he by far was the most interactive captain, very involved , and clearly have a strong passion and loves what he does! we were debreifed before setting out, and he got insight on exactly what we wanted to do/experience, and what we wanted to catch. He definitely put us in the right spots at the right times of the day. everything was well prepped on the boat. he encouraged and was equally as excited anytime we had a good bite. i could go on and on, but dont want to lose your attention. nonetheless, we will only fish in freeport Tx with Robert here on out. Save your time and money and fish with the best.
thank yall for fishing with us it was a good time and enjoyed fishing with yall
Wonderful time out with Captain Robert and crew. They worked hard for us from start to finish. He asked what we wanted to catch before we left the dock and then made the plan. He knew where to go and how to get it done. Bite was tough due to the full moon but he still got us fish in the boat. Will be booking with him again in the future and recommending to anyone asks .
im glad yall had a great time look forward to seeing yall again
Captain Robert and his Deck Hand provided top-notch service and a very fun, memorable day. Everyone of our motley crew managed to catch limit and some relaxing r&r. The boat and tackle wete excellent, as was Captain Robert’s knowledge of where and how to land a variety of fish. We will definitely be back again.
thank yall very much i hope to see yall again
