Southwest Sportfishing
Southwest Sportfishing invites you on an offshore fishing adventure in the waters of Port Aransas, Texas. The charter is owned and operated by Captain Roger Sorenson who has spent a lifetime guiding happy guests to the fish of their dreams.
Fishing is done aboard a 36’ air conditioned Chris Craft Tournament Fisherman with enough room to comfortably fish six people. Powered by twin 350 HP Caterpillar engines with a maximum cruising speed of 25 knots, the vessel is fast and safe in getting you out to where the fish are. It is equipped with a live well for bait and all the modern equipment necessary to locate the most productive spots to make your trip a successful one.
The vessel is super comfortable, featuring a full-size toilet, a bed, a kitchen, and all the safety features needed, including life jackets for adults and two kids’ life jackets for under 75 pounds. Capt. Roger’s boat also has a set of outriggers that are used when trolling.
Capt. Roger will take you to the offshore waters where Mahi Mahi, Kingfish, Sailfish, Blue Marlin, Cobia, Sharks, and Red Snapper can be found. Using a variety of fishing techniques, such as light tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, and drift fishing, you will target the species in season.
The crew has Shimano rods and reels, as well as a variety of tackle and lures. You will need a fishing license, sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and something to eat and drink (no glass containers) on the trip.
Enjoy a day of fishing out of Port Aransas with Southwest Sportfishing and have the time of your life!

12 Hour Trip Offshore
Tough fishing but outstanding day!
Captain Sorenson takes it personally when the fishing is tough. Our 12hr trip ran over 13 hours while we hit countless different locations but in the end we did very well due to the hard working deck hand and captain. Can't compliment them enough!

Great trip
Amazing red snapper fishing trip with Captain Roger! We caught our limit quickly, with fish weighing 6-9 lbs. The crew was knowledgeable, and the experience was unforgettable. Highly recommend this adventure for anglers of all levels!

Red Snapper
We caught the biggest Red Snapper of the day and had 4 really nice ones. Would go out again on the Last Calk with Captain Roger and David.

Great day on the water with our sons
The weather was rougher than expected, but Roger and David worked hard to get us onto fish anyway and we came back with our limit of snapper. Skipper (the dog) was a very welcome extra companion onboard!
