Inshore bay fishing • 2 adultsSo me and my wife went shark fishing, and he knew the best spots to catch bait fish, and put us on them and on some trout! We went in with the thought of not catching a single shark, but we caught 2 black tip sharks! We had amazing fun so we're ecstatic! This is the best birthday I had in a while definitely recommend!

Patty PettusMissouri, US•Member since 20195.0VerifiedGreat fishing time with Andy
Half Day Trip – Bay (AM) • 3 adults • 2 childrenWe had a great time fishing the bay with Andy.. It was at first experience on my grandsons at fishing in the bay Andy was fun and enjoyable, pointed out interesting facts about the area do you make a trip a lot of fun. The only thing that I could say that is not 100% positive if something every patient person would feel and understand it was just a chance the boys caught a lot of fish but they were not big enough to key and we were anticipating to feel our cooler when in reality we only got to bring home three but even at that it was a very enjoyable time and the boys ask if we could go back next year and use Andy again

What's biting with Capt. Andrew’s Inshore Charters 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.

Red snapper smack down!
Dec 8, 2020 • South Padre Island
Day started off at 7am with a boat loaded with ice,bait and three guys that wanted to put the hammer down on some red snapper! First stop was good with 4 solid fish put in the box. Next stop we slammed them and loaded the box up with the boat limit. While cleaning up the boat and putting tackle away we had a nice cobia swim up and we tossed a bait out right in front of it and his ate it quickly! A fast hook set and we were on for a good fight.
