Caught a shark on our first fishing trip…

4 Hour Trip – Nearshore4 adults

Came to Texas from Colorado wanted to experience ocean fishing. Booked trip with Captian Patrick. He not only taught us about fishing, but made a childhood dream of our daughters come true. We were able to catch, see, touch a shark, and release it back to ocean unharmed. We also caught various species of fish we were able to have cleaned and fillet to take back home with us. Overall the experience was better than we could have expected. We would recommend this trip and Captain Patrick to anyone looking for a great experience. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

    Amazing time for our entire group. Highly recommend!!!

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore - 1:00 PM • 5 adults • 2 children

    Capt Patrick Somerville is absolutely outstanding and professional. Not only is he a Veteran but has so much knowledge with offshore fishing. Went out with close friends and their kids. He put up with all the kids and adults questions. We had lots and he explained them to the kids as well as us. We learned so much, caught a ton of fish. Not all made the cut, but had enough to make a meal. Red Snapper. Lane Snappers, Sand Trout, Baracuda, and Spanish Mackerel were just some of the species we landed. Was great with the kids and great with the adult's. Again we asked so many questions and he had the patience and great knowledge to explain it all to us. We did throw him some curve balls but he got our lines back out fast. Even when all 4 had fish on at the same time.

    Amazing Trip! Best Charter Ever!

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore - 1:00 PM • 6 adults

    Patrick was awesome! We showed up about 45 minutes early, and he was ready for us and got us out on the water early, which was amazing! We got started early, had such a good time and Patrick even extended the trip, and the fishing was top notch! If you’re ever around Port A or Corpus Christi and want to actually catch fish instead of just paying for a boat ride and emotional damage, I highly recommend giving Patrick a holler. The price was right, the trip was great, and we had a blast. Thanks again, Patrick! We’ll definitely give you a holler next time we’re in the area!

    Fantastic family experience!!

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore • 6 adults

    I would gladly book another fishing excursion with Captain Patrick and highly encourage anyone to book his services. He communicated quickly with me after first booking the trip asking about our group so he can make the most of our time together. He was friendly with my family right from the moment we stepped onto his boat. Hs boat was well equipped and clean. He let us stream our own music as we headed out to the Gulf. Most importantly, he was able to connect us with some fun fish. We caught several king mackerel, a crevalle jack, red fish, and the biggest catch of our trip was 30 lb cobia. Again, I highly recommend Captain Patrick's services!!!

    Unforgettable Family Fishing Trip with Captain Patrick!

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore - 1:00 PM • 6 adults

    We had an amazing time with Captain Patrick and White Lightning Sportfishing! Not only was he incredibly friendly, but his patience with our teenagers was next level. He knew exactly where to take us for the best fishing, and his passion for the sport was contagious — it truly inspired our kids. It’s clear Captain Patrick loves what he does, and that made the experience even more special. I’d recommend anyone looking for a fun, memorable day on the water to book with White Lightning Sportfishing. You’re guaranteed a great time. Thank you, Captain Patrick!
