Captain Jeff Hartung has been fishing since he was a kid, and there's nothing he'd rather be doing for a living than getting more people invested in the world of fishing. He's been fishing offshore for more than a decade now, and always aims to ensure everybody on the boat is having a good time angling!

    Fishing with Jeff

    6 Hour Trip • 5 adults • 3 children

    Been on a lot of fishing trips, but this one takes the cake. Went out to catch Red Snapper came back with a great memory. After limiting early on big snapper, we went goofing off looking something else. Came across a Ling and then a Sailfish. We hooked the Sailfish and my son got to bring him. Captain Jeff made it happen. Great trip!!!

    Half day trip with Captain Jeff

    6 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    I had a very difficult time finding a charter online that would fish the Gulf side of South Padre Island. Jeff was an excellent catch. He specializes in deep sea fishing and is open to tayloring the trip to meet your needs. Worth every penny.

    Captain Jeff was great! His gear was nice and he was great at finding the fish and rebating quickly when needed. We limited out on snapper quick and had some other great catches as well!

What's biting with Playin Hooky Fishing 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.
