Deep Sea Fishing in Port Aransas
When a city is called the “Fishing Capital of Texas,” you know that you’re in for some premier action on the water. Deep sea fishing charters in Port Aransas are busy year-round, and that only makes sense, seeing that the bite in the bluewater is excellent pretty much all the time.
The beauty of Port Aransas’s deep sea fishery is its diversity. Depending on how far from shore you go, a different variety of species is at your disposal. Some 20 miles out, you’ll be in the realm of big Mackerel and Cobia, as well as different Snappers. Go further, and you’ll be in the playground of Billfish, Tuna, Bull Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo.
If you’re coming to Port Aransas to battle giants, you’ll be traveling to the continental shelf, where the water is over 1,000 feet deep. Here, you might come face to gills with the mighty Yellowfin Tuna, Marlin, and Swordfish. Also, some 50 miles from land, you can go after Tilefish and massive deepwater Grouper species.
When booking a trip with deep sea fishing charters in Port Aransas, you should aim for longer expeditions. Full day trips last around 8 hours and can take you to all the prized pelagics. If you’d like to explore the offshore oil rigs (feeding hubs of the bigguns), consider 12-hour options or even overnight trips for maximum productivity. A lot of captains also offer specialized excursions, where you can target specific species like Amberjack, Tuna, or Billfish.
There are several marinas in Port Aransas where you can find a reliable charter boat to take you out. Port Aransas City Harbor, Fishermans Wharf, and West Cotter Avenue are just a few of the most popular ones you can check out.

Some of the fish there are seasonal. Do your homework be prepared for what time of year you are fishing and you will have an amazing time?

Be realisticโฆ not everyone in the trip is going to catch 5 fish each! Go with a great captain and youโll have a good time regardless of the number of fish you catch!

Just make sure you take sun protection and sweater or light jacket for your trip as it can be cool in the morning otherwise your Captain will take care of everything else for your fishing adventures.

I would absolutely recommend angler fishing for the first time in Aransas Pass! It was my first time and Iโm already planning another trip back in July. Iโm from Florida originally and I felt like I was at home. Great place to go angler fishing for the first time.

Take Sunblock, snacks, and Ice Chest, cause youโre going to need them all, especially the ice chest to haul your catch home.

Targeting Vermillion Snapper was great this time of year. 4-5 foot swells can be tough to deal with for not regularly seafaring patrons but managing expectations can still bring a Great experience!

Go with a guide or at least a chartered boat, we have used Dolphin Dock in the past, they were really good and we used Southwest Sportfishing this year as our personal fishing guide this was an even greater experience that is very unique and awesome for building memories with family and/or friends.
