trip description for Port A Deep Sea - 38' Bertram in Port Aransas

There you are fishing, sitting on aboard a fully furnished and mission-designed 38 ft Sportfishing Express with your feet propped up on the fish box. Your favorite beverage in one hand, almost lulled to sleep with the slapping waves rocking the boat and the sea breeze cooling the brow. All of a sudden, from the bridge comes the bellow “FISH ON”!!! Suddenly from the peaceful calm, you realize it is time to get down to fishing! The mate has been in fast motion moving the rods so you can get at the one with the fish. There is no doubt what rod to pick up; it’s the one bent over double and the reel screaming. Adrenaline is pumping through your body, you reach for the rod, and with a little struggle, you remove it from the holder. You cram the fishing rod into the fighting belt that is strapped around your waist. Getting your body square to the fish and leaning into the padded stern, your desire to overpower the fish and become the victor has begun! This could be your experience when you head out with Captain Hunter aboard the fantastic 38ft Sport Express built explicitly for running badass offshore trips out of Port Aransas. Offshore fishing in the Gulf of Mexico offers some of the most exciting sport fishing in the world, and this 6 hour trip provides an awesome opportunity to catch a variety of fish species like snapper, wahoo, shark, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, amberjack, blackfin tuna, mahi-mahi, and whatever else you and Captain Hunter can find out there! Based in Port Aransas, and with the right boat for the job, Captain Hunter is able to get to blue water quickly. This means you spend more time trolling, deep dropping and sight fishing, and less time riding to and fro. Bait, fuel, and water are provided on all trips. All you need to bring is your sunscreen, sunglasses, food, BYOB, a cooler for fish transport, and any special items you need aboard a 6 hour trip! Read More

If you've been dying to hook up a prizewinner off the South Texas coast, this trip with Captain Freddy is your ticket! Port Aransas (locally nicknamed "Port A") is a fishing hotpsot that has opportunities for all the top gamefish, from fast pelagic predators such as Wahoo, King Mackerel, and Mahi to stubborn fighters such as Amberjack, Snapper, and Grouper. On this trip, you'll be able to take a shot at them all, depending on the season and your preferences. You'll go after these fish using a range of techniques, including bottomfishing, drifting, trolling, and jigging. Captain Freddy is an expert and is happy to give you some tips to help you refine your technique, but once that fish is on, it's all you! Whether you're out there to fill your cooler or to bag a trophy, he'll get you on the fish and do everything he can to help you hook 'em, fight 'em, and get them over the rail. On this trip, you'll be out on the water aboard Captain Freddy's 46' Bertram sportfisher. This beautiful boat has everything you need for a comfortable and successful day on the water, including two air-conditioned staterooms, bathrooms, outriggers, downriggers, a tower for sighting fish, and twin Detroit engines for a total of 1500 horsepower.

trip description for Port A Offshore Super Slam in Port Aransas

If a line-peeling, drag-screaming offshore trip is what you're after, you're in the right place! Captain Scott is a pro when it comes to offshore fishing in Port Aransas, Texas, and he loves to show clients what's out there in the deep blue. On an offshore charter with Captain Scott, you'll hunt down a variety of sportfish species, including Mahi-Mahi, Tuna, and Wahoo—all terrific fighting fish that are great to eat as well. Because these fish love to hit fast-moving lures and bait, you'll focus on trolling at different depths in order to attract bites. When a big Mahi or Wahoo takes the hook, strap in for a fight! These are lightning-fast pelagic fish that do not want to get caught, and getting one over the rail is a challenge. You'll fight the fish from Captain Scott's 42' Hatteras sportfisher, a perfect vessel for offshore fishing. She features a comfortable cabin when you want to get out of the sun, plus a big deck with tons of room for reeling in a trophy! Captain Scott will provide everything you need for an epic trip, including rods, reels, baits, and tackle. We recommend that you bring proper clothing, a hat, sunscreen, and a cooler with some snacks and drinks. Get out there and hook a personal best! Read More
