South Padre Island Fishing Trips

Private Charters. Local Knowledge. No Experience Required.

Captain Bio

Capt. Cliff adjusts every trip to what the water is doing that day — the tide, the season, the weather, what's been biting. Bay fishing, jetties, Ship Channel — he knows all of it and fishes it constantly. When you're on the boat, he's already been out there figuring out where to go.

All rods, bait, tackle, and ice are included. You bring the sunscreen, a change of clothes if you want, and an appetite for a good day on the water.
