About Your Trip

Looking for an exciting new way to take your beach day adventure to the next level? Look no further than Tristan's land-based chartered surf fishing! Tristan serves the Corpus Christi gulf coast region including Port Aransas and Padre Island so no matter where you’re gathering, he has a fishing charter that can meet you wherever you're looking to hang out for the day! If you don't have a beach in mind, Tristan has a couple of secret spots that he would love to show you as well. Beautiful beaches, and awesome fishing to boot!

On this surfcasting special, you'll go after popular gamefish including Seamullet, Spotted Trout, Redfish, Black Drum, Jack Crevalle, and small sharks and rays.

In addition to regular surfcasting, Tristan also has a Jetski that he uses to get the bait out beyond the waves. This increases the chances of a bite, and also means that your cast isn't limited by your strength! This innovative technique will really take your surf fishing to the next level.

His land-based surf fishing charters are 100% safe and fun for the entire family! It’s so easy and fun that even kids can do it. He will provide all necessary tackle and bait, as well as beach games, beach chairs, and a canopy set up to call home base. Any adult over the age of 16 that plans to help fight these fish will need a Texas Saltwater fishing license, but otherwise, all you'll need to bring are your favorite snacks, drinks, and your personal belongings, Tristan will take care of the rest!

Did a half day trip with Tristan, and was thoroughly impressed. Very quick and efficient with set up and getting baits out. We caught 2 nice sharks and had a few more on. Tristan takes the time he needs to with less experienced anglers and gets them where they need ...Read More

The sharks didn’t cooperate on our trip but that was no fault of Tristan and Benny. They are some good dudes and we enjoyed talking with them. They tried hard, just wasn’t in the cards for us that evening. We’ll try it again next time we’re in town.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
