We had a great day fishing in the Gulf of Mexico! We are all freshwater fishermen and this was our first offshore fishing trip.  After a brief rain delay we set out. Captain Zach was very flexible and kept in communication waiting for weather to clear.  Loading up was quick and organized. When we arrived at the fishing location, we got a quick tutorial on what bait we would be using and how to use it and the rods and reels.  We all had lines in the water minutes after arriving on the fishing spot and the choice of bait appeared to be spot on! We began catching red snapper immediately.  After limiting out on red snapper the rods were rigged up for king fish.  It didn’t take long and the first one was in the boat.  After brief experimenting on depth we all had king fish on at the same time! We also rigged the large outrigger rod for bigger fish.  The outrigger reel started buzzing as string began spinning off of it. Quickly set the hook and the fight began the fight, reeling in a 6 foot black tipped shark. Unfortunately time for the trip was was reaching the end. We stowed the gear and made the trip back to Port Aransas harbor. Unloading was quick and organized. Captain Zach cleaned and bagged our catch.  We booked this trip knowing that Port Aransas Offshore Adventures has no control over weather or fishing conditions. I feel confident that they would go out of their way to make sure that any guest on their boat has a fantastic experience. I cannot imagine any better experience and cannot recommend them enough. We are already trying to work out a time when we can book our next trip with Port Aransas Offshore Advenures!

We had an amazing time with Captain Zack, his wife and his first mate Willis.  They got us on some Snapper and then some. Such down to earth people and very accommodating, even when my wife got sick and had to lay down. They were very helpful with my daughters too, helped them bring in the fish!
My family and I had such a great experience! Definitely going to hire them again!
Thanks guys for a memorable trip!

The seas did get a little rough on us during the ride out but Captain Zach and deckhand Willis did their best to accommodate.  Then they proceeded to work very hard to make sure we had our limits of both red snapper and shark.  (Later back at the dock we learned that other boats did not limit out.)  The boat was very comfortable four our family of five and well equipped, and we hope to come again on a future vacation.  They really went above and beyond.

My family and I got to experience deep sea fishing to the fullest. Zach was able to take us to plenty of spots where he knew fish would be biting. He’s very knowledgeable about fishing, along with his mate, Matthew. Overall it was an exciting and pleasurable experience. We will definitely be booking a trip again soon!

Zack met us at the dock to start the day and off we went. His boat made good speed to get out to the spots quicker than the big boats and gave us more time to fish. Within 3 hours we all (6) caught our limit of Red Snapper and then headed to a different spot to target kingfish. We had an excellent time and it was much more personal and enjoyable than those big group boats for not a lot more cost. Will definitely book again and highly recommend.
