If you’re looking for a friendly, knowledgeable, and an experienced captain to show you the best fishing that Port Isabel, Texas has to offer, look no further than Captain David Naranjo of Capt. Dave’s Reel Deal Charters!

He has over 20 years of experience and 80% of his business are returning customers. Clients come back because they catch fish and because the captain is equally patient with kids, novice adults, and experienced anglers. Capt. Dave will work hard to make your day fishing with him fun and memorable.

Your boat will be a dry and smooth sailing 24’ Shallow Stalker Pro bay boat powered by a 300 HP Suzuki engine. It can cater to up to 5 anglers and comes equipped with a bow tower, center tower, a power pole, VHF radio, livewell, and ice chests with ice. It even features a Fusion sound system.

You’ll be fishing with what works the best and the captain knows all the tricks of the trade. He will take you fishing after whatever is biting at a particular time of a particular day. Capt. Dave will take you fishing with lures, top-waters, spoons, live shrimp on corks, live croaker, skipping mullet on the surface and drifting with cut bait on the bottom.

He’s prepared to do at least two of the listed techniques to make your day out on the water fun and most importantly catch fish. And the list of your potential catch includes Redfish, Jack Crevalle, Black Drum, Flounder, and Spotted Seatrout.

You’ll be supplied with top-notch fishing gear by premier brands such as Shimano, Penn, and St. Croix. Lures are also included in the price, as well as live bait, that will be waiting for you on the boat. All you have to do is buy a fishing license before the trip ($16 for non-residents and $11 for Texas residents).

So book a trip because Captain David Naranjo is the “reel deal” and he’ll do everything for you to reel in the catch of a lifetime!

Half Day Trip on April 15, 2021 β€’ 2 adults
Fishing has been tough for everyone on South Padre Island. I normally catch several nice fish from the Surf but none this week. Dave took us out and got us on some Speckled Trout we had two in the box in about 20 minutes. From there the bite seemed to just turn off Dave tried everything to find hungry fish they seemed to have just disappeared. There were several other boats out and I did not see one of them pull up a fish. It was one of those it’s fishing not catching days. But the whole time Dave was entertaining and encouraging making for a wonderful trip. I noticed Dave loves to teach people how to fish so If you are new to the game or want your child to learn from a great positive guy you will not go wrong with Dave.

Captain Dave Rocks!
7 Hour Trip on March 30, 2021 β€’ 2 adults
We booked Captain Dave based on his advertised rate of repeat customers and the one review that was published on this site at the time. We couldn't have made a better choice! Dave checks all the boxes for a great day of fishing: lots of local knowledge, top-notch boat and equipment, on-time and reliable, and he's a great fellow who you will enjoy spending the day with. Oh - he also put us on fish even after the 2021 freeze/fish kill, getting us to a 2 man limit of Reds just after Noon with lots of extra action. All-around great experience. We will also be repeat customers next time we are in town.

7 Hour Trip on January 9, 2021 β€’ 1 adult
Had an amazing time! Capt Dave Met me at 7 AM and proceeded to go over all the necessaries and then we set out. Once we came to our first stop Capt. Dave then gave a 1 min instructional demonstration and off to fishing I was! Capt Dave was very willing to photograph the day but I chose to not bother instead immerse myself in the moment and beauty that is the south texas coast. Capt Dave is very Knowledgeable and possesses years of experience and knows how to get you on the fish you want. I am still in awe of how many dolphins I saw through the course of the day. It is beautiful and so easy to relax and let the stress go and focus on catching and reeling in the fish! 5 stars I will be back!

Half Day Trip on July 24, 2021 β€’ 2 adults
Great trip with Capt Dave. Although the fishing was slow today, we managed to land two good size Redfish, one 28 inch and one 24 inch. Capt Dave was super friendly and helped us improve our fishing techniques. We hooked a couple other Redfish or ??? but they got away, We caught a few small trout also but no keepers. Overall an enjoyable trip and we will definitely plan another one in the future!
