Book your next trip with Stay Salty Charters and find out what the fishing in Port Aransas is all about. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Charles can tell you all about them.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Black Drum, Flounder, Redfish, Blacktip Shark, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, Spotted Seatrout, and anything else that bites. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, popping, drifting, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Don't forget to bring snacks – luckily, Capt. Charles will have some on board!
You'll be dropping lines from a 23' Explorer bay boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Capt. Charles will supply rods and reels for you. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some bottled water on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, come aboard with Stay Salty Charters and get hooked!

My wife and I had an awesome trip with Captain Charlie. The weather wasn’t ideal and the fishing started off slow, but Capt. Charlie still made sure we were having a great time out there. On the way back in, we landed on some huge red drum and ended up limiting out. We had a blast and will 110% be booking with Captain Charlie again for future trips.

Captain Charlie worked really hard to get us on fish. We caught alot but most were under the legal size. Wasn’t the best time of the year to go but we had a good time. The highlight was that my daughter caught a really big flounder that Capt Charlie filleted for us and gave us a great recipe for cooking. We are gonna try to come back in fall for bigger fish. Would definitely recommend using his guide service.

Charley put us on a bunch of fish and we even got some keepers! Variety of species and sizes. He went out of his way to find the fish and put us on them! He was very helpful and was very enjoyable to be out on the water with as well as being very knowledgeable of the area and water. Would recommended to anyone!

Our guide was so nice and easy to talk to. He was very knowledgeable and was able to give us some facts about the town. He took us to a couple fishing holes so we could get a little tour of the area. We were the only boat on the water that brought fish in!

Captain Charlie and Caiden were the absolute best!!! It felt like fishing with friends! They were so patient with our girls who love to fish & gave the Dad in our family a chance to do his own fishing! We caught and had a blast! Fish Tacos are on the menu for dinner!
