Old Salt made our trip good
3/4 AM Trip on July 1, 2024 • 2 adults
Old Salt captain had a family emergency but set us up with Captain Kevin. He work hard for us to catch fish on a day that was a slow fish day. Kevin fought for us to limit out. He is experienced & knows the waters. Enjoyed our trip & the fish we caught.

Half day with Captain Mike
3/4 Winter AM Trip on July 28, 2021 • 2 adults • 1 child
Trip started off slow and there wasn't much action, we caught several skip jack and one keeper speckle trout, but Captain Mike didn't give up! He put us on some big black drum and some sheep's head!! It was my 8 year old son's first trip he managed to land 2 big drum one was too big and the other was just right. I caught one keeper and one was oversize. We also landed several sheep's head but they were all too small. Captain Mike was very professional, and I would recommend Old Salt Charters to everyone of all ages.

What's biting with Old Salt Charters in South Padre Island

A lot to catch. Reds, Specks, Snook hide around jetties, waiting to crush your bait. Flounder are here to make things even more interesting. Offshore, Blackfin and Yellowfin Tuna await.
