Western Charters

Western Charters specializes in drift fishing and wade fishing the flats in the bay for Redfish, Flounder, and Speckled Trout. When the weather conditions are favorable, you can venture nearshore, bottom fishing for Red Snapper. If you prefer trolling, go for King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, and the occasional False Albacore Tuna.

If you’re an angler who enjoys to catch, photograph, and release - by all means, you are welcome to come on board. Just as well for those who want to keep there catch.

You’ll be fishing on a 24’ El Pescador boat that accommodates up to 3 guests. This bay boat is powered by a 130 HP Honda engine, features navigational electronics, a live bait tank, and a cooler. Captain Abel is a licensed USCG Captain and has all the necessary safety equipment on board, so you can feel safe and enjoy your fishing trip.

You’ll fish with lures, both hard and soft plastics. Cut bait for bottom fishing is the best choice if you’re targeting big Redfish. You can also use live bait such as pinfish, shrimp, and croaker. Don’t miss out on the chance to fish with a popping cork, the way true Texans do.

All your fishing equipment, catch cleaning, and soft drinks are covered by the captain. You’ll need to bring your fishing license and pack some snacks for the day.

No matter what type of trip you choose with Western Charters, it’s a sight to be seen. And yes, the monsters do come out and play.
