Jawjackers Charters will take you inshore and nearshore fishing for table and game fish out of Port Aransas, TX. The Aransas Bay is famous for its awesome inshore fishing, with huge Reds lurking in its murky shallows, and the area also enjoys easy access to the nearshore reefs nearby.

The vessel you will be fishing aboard is a 21' Gulfcoast center console boat with room aboard for up to 4 guests. The vessel is perfect for navigating the shallow bays and flats, while still being stable enough to head further out when the weather is good. It comes equipped with GPS, fishfinder, a livewell full of fresh live bait, and everything you will need for the perfect day of fishing.

The crew specializes in inshore and nearshore fishing and provides a wide range of equipment to make the most out of your time on the water. Choose between trolling, bottom fishing, spinning, popping, jigging, and fly fishing for a wide range of species.

While this vessel is mainly set up for bay trips, fishing for big Bull Reds, Cobia, and Trout, you can also try your luck heading further out to fish for Sheepshead, Snapper, Kingfish, and more! All trips come with bait and tackle, and the captain can clean and fillet your catch after the trip (an additional fee applies for this service).

All that's left to do is book a trip you like and join Jawjackers Charters on a fun-filled fishing adventure off the coast of Texas!

Full-day trip with Captain Josh (with kids)
Full Day Trip on March 30, 2024

We had a wonderful day fishing out of Port Aransas with Josh. We had four adults and two kids (boys aged 7 and 3), and it couldn't have been a better experience. We've fished with a number of guides out of Port A, and Josh is as good as it gets. Booking was easy; Josh is incredibly responsive and made sure we were well-prepared for the day. Out on the water, he was so helpful and patient with our boys and worked hard to keep us on fish for a full day. When the boys weren't fighting fish, they were spotting dolphins and birds, snagging shrimp from the bait bucket, and sharing snacks with Captain Josh. We topped off the freezer with a boatload of redfish and sheepshead and can't wait to get back out with Josh again soon. Two thumbs way up!

July fishing trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 25, 20242 adults2 children

We’re a family of 4 who booked a bay fishing trip with Josh. On the day we chose to go, it rained non-stop and the water was dirty. Josh was able to work with us and take us out the following day when the weather was much better. We fished multiple spots and caught a variety of fish. Josh was very personable and always helped everyone on the boat out. We all had a great time and highly recommend choosing Josh.

Amazing Captain!!!

Josh is really good and knows the waters. Even though we were on the afternoon trip where the fish are less active, he put us on the Reds. One of the men in our group became an official Jawjacker by pulling in a 31” red drum which we tagged.
