Captain Dan Wilkerson and his Family Fishing Charters are all about fun and safe angling adventures. Dan values good ethics and respects everything the beautiful world of outdoors has to offer. A day out on the water aboard his boat is an exciting opportunity to check the bite and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Capt. Dan will put his talent to work for you. He will guide you through the basics before you make your first cast to make sure you know how to use the tackle properly. If you have never held a fishing rod in your hands before, Dan is your guide.

A successful trip in Capt. Dan’s book is not just a cooler full of exciting fish but also seeing his previous clients applying the skills they gained from the trips with him. Plus, there is nothing better than seeing a child’s smile when they catch their first ever fish!

Grab your kids or fishing buddies and hop onboard Dan’s 24’ Kenner center console. This is a seaworthy fishing machine with enough room for up to 5 anglers. It can cruise at a hair-raising speed of 35 knots thanks to its 200 HP Mercury engine.

Family Fishing Charters has tailored a variety of packages that will suit any angler’s needs. Take a look below and choose one… or even two!

Captain Dan will put you on fish!
The Whole Enchilada (Port A) on May 18, 2025 • 2 adults
My wife and I scheduled a 6 hour trip and had a ball! Dan has quality equipment, well maintained and ready to go. Fully prepared with bait when we arrived, we headed out. Day was rough, 30 mph winds but Dan positioned us on a known spot. After a few minutes, if no bite, we moved. Maybe 100 yards, a mile at times but we'd move and find fish! We kept pushing until we had our limit of reds and then moved to specs. We limited out on both and my wife had to release a 23.5" oversized spec! She was pumped. There will be no question as to who we call on our next trip to to the Texas Coast! Captain Dan is the Man!

Dan went to great lengths to find fish.
The Whole Enchilada (Port A) on February 2, 2026 • 3 adults
At a slower time of the year for fishing Dan found us several varieties, which is what we requested. Much of our fishing was catch and release, and Dan showed great respect for the fish in releasing them unharmed. I would not hesitate to fish with Dan again.

Great day on the water.
The Whole Enchilada (Ingleside) on September 9, 2025 • 2 adults
My son and I went out for a full day with Captain Dan. We fished the Bay area for Trout and the flats for some Reds. It was a windy day so fishing was tough, but he stuck with it. We ended up catching quite a few fish. Captain Dan was very knowledgeable and fun to fish with. He helped my son and I out, and taught us some new techniques. It was a great day! We're planning in doing it again next year.

This charter was great. The captain was laser focused on making sure my kids and I caught fish that we could keep. The morning didn't pan out, so he took us 40 minutes across the bay to his home turf, which was a game changer. We ended up simultaneously hooking up with monster reds and came home with a feast. i highly recommend Captain Dan and will surely book a trip with him again.

Great Fishing!!
Fish and Chips AM (Port A) on March 21, 2025 • 4 adults
Went out with ol Dan and was a bit worried as a front had moved through the night before our trip. Dan IMMEDIATELY had us on fish and was very aware of position and would move us over where the fish were. He was patient and friendly and very funny. We caught a variety of fish from black drum to reds to sheepshead and gafftop. He accommodates your needs and takes time to explain things as well as gives a little history lesson here and there. I will definitely be booking again with him.
