    Fishing with Jason

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 1 adult

    Jason is a knowledgeable, no BS, get after it, highly relatable, and easy to talk to guide. I felt very comfortable up front in his boat just like I was at home fishing with a buddy I've known for years. He put us on fish early, moved around decisively, and made the experience of South Texas fishing one to remember for years to come.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout

    Great fishing trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    My son and I had a great charter with Jason of Coast Wise. Jason was very helpful and polite. Best of all, he put us on fish - some really big red fish and some nice trout. He worked hard getting us into position in the flats. We spent way more time on the water than our 5 hour charter. I would say my best inshore charter ever.

What's biting with Coast Wise 18’ Sabine in South Padre Island

Flounder time! The fish will hide around grass beds and near passes. There are also Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, and Trout about. If the weather allows it, Snapper in state waters are a big deal.
