I am very grateful to the guys at “Sport Fishing Charters” for a magnificent experience in the world of fishing. I want to highlight that the attention received by the guys at “Sport Fishing Charters” was incredible, excellent service, kindness, they are people who care a lot about their clients and always want you to have a great day, I am not exaggerating, they are great people. My day of fishing was much better than I expected because I was able to see: whales, dolphins, too many beautiful scenes and fish that look like they are from a movie, I look forward to coming back soon!

Jeff was an amazing host with a deep knowledge of the waters in Boca Chica. We saw Whales, Dolphins, and most importantly hooked a ton of different fish including Mackarel, Cubera Snapper, Jacks and the famed Rooster Fish! The lodging was top tier and the cook that prepared our fresh catches every night was phenomenal. Highly recommend booking with this team!

IN SHORE FISHING

White sport fishing boat named The Rat Bastard with four men fishing in calm blue-green water near tree-covered islands in the background.

This area is also arguably one of the best places to catch a ton of roosterfish and cubera snapper.

While these fish get a lot of attention, you can’t forget about mullet snapper, bluefin trevally, sierra mackerel, amberjack, rock snapper, grouper, all manner of jacks. We even sometimes catch wahoo inshore.

Either way, our inshore fishing takes allows views of some of the most beautiful tropical islands you’ll ever see. It is an absolute wonderful experience.
