    (4 Hour Trip)

    Outstanding day on the water with owner and Captain Luke, money well spent

    Great 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.

    Tyler is the best!

    This was a fantastic time! Tyler was very flexible and accomodating, even despite challenging conditions / weather. We caught flounder, bluefish and lizardfish. We found this to be well worth the money for the experience.

    (7 Hour Trip – Inshore)

    Great fishing experience

    Even though the weather was not ideal, we still managed to hook up on some fish. Captain Kevin and his Co-Captain Rodger were very accommodating and great company to have on board. They were extremely patient with my 6 yr old son and teaching him how to fish and helping him hook up on the biggest fish he has caught thus. I had a great time, with a great crew, and on a very comfortable boat. Definitely looking forward to booking with this crew again in the future!

Average

Flounder fishing targets a smart ambush predator that hides on sandy and muddy bottoms. These Flatfish blend into the seabed, then burst up to grab bait. Anglers love them for their firm, tasty fillets and for how hard they pull for their size.

Most Flounder fishing happens in inshore waters such as bays, estuaries, and flats. Drift fishing, where the boat moves with wind or tide, covers ground and finds active fish. Bottom fishing with live minnows, mullet, or shrimp works well. Jigs with soft plastics or bucktails also produce when you bounce them slowly along the bottom.

Trips are usually close to shore and on calmer water, which makes them great for beginners and families. Expect short runs, steady action around moving tides, and subtle bites that feel like a tap or extra weight. Bring sun protection, polarized sunglasses to spot bottom contours, non-slip shoes, and a small cooler if you plan to keep fish where it is allowed.

Rules for Flounder fishing vary by location and season. Always check local fishing license and permit requirements before you go. Review current seasons, size and bag limits, and method rules, including any restrictions on night fishing or gigging. When in doubt, ask your captain, and practice careful handling if releasing fish.
