Hey there, fellow anglers! Ready to wet a line in some of the hottest fishing spots South Padre Island has to offer? Join us at Jerry's Fishing Charters for a 5-hour inshore fishing trip that'll have you hooked from start to finish. We're talking prime time on the water, from 7 AM to noon, chasing after some of Texas' most prized catches. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, our experienced captains will put you on the fish and show you the ropes of inshore fishing, Texas-style.
Picture this: You're out on the pristine waters of South Padre Island as the sun's coming up, rod in hand, ready to tangle with some of the Lone Star State's finest inshore species. Our half-day trip is the perfect mix of action and relaxation. We've got room for up to six anglers, so bring your buddies or make it a family affair. Just remember, we don't provide grub on this trip, so pack some snacks to keep your energy up while you're reeling in the big ones.
Listen up, because we're about to dive into the nitty-gritty of inshore fishing, SPI style. We're not just sticking to one method here – we're pulling out all the stops. Bottom fishing? You bet. Light tackle? Absolutely. Drift fishing? Oh yeah. And let's not forget about popping – it's a blast when the fish are fired up. Our captains know these waters like the back of their hand, and they'll put you on the fish whether we're working the flats, cruising the shoreline, or hitting those secret spots just off the beach. You'll be switching up techniques faster than a redfish can shake a tail, keeping things interesting all morning long.

Alright, let's talk targets. On this trip, we're after some of Texas' most sought-after inshore species. Here's the lowdown on what you might be reeling in:
Snook: These hard-fighting fish are the rock stars of inshore fishing. They love to hang around structure, so we'll be targeting mangroves, docks, and any other snook hideouts. They've got a reputation for explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps that'll test your skills and your gear. Spring and fall are prime times for snook, but we can find 'em year-round if you know where to look – and trust me, we do.
Black Drum: Don't let their ugly mugs fool you – these bruisers can put up one heck of a fight. They're bottom feeders, so we'll be using techniques to get our bait right in their face. The bigger ones, we call 'em "Big Uglies," can top 30 pounds or more. They're most active in the cooler months, but you can catch 'em year-round if you know their habits.
Sheepshead: These striped convicts are tricky to hook but delicious to eat. They've got a mouth full of teeth that can crunch through barnacles, so we'll be using special rigs to outsmart 'em. Winter and early spring are peak seasons for sheepshead, and they love hanging around structure like jetties and pilings.
Redfish: Ah, the mighty red drum – a Texas inshore fishing staple. These copper-colored beauties are known for their distinctive spot near the tail and their bulldogging fights. We'll be sight-casting for them in the shallows or working the edges of grass flats. Fall is fantastic for reds, but they're a year-round target that never disappoints.
Speckled Trout: Last but not least, the speckled sea trout. These spotted hunters are a blast on light tackle and are prized for both their fight and their flavor. We'll be working soft plastics or live bait to entice these guys. They're most active in the cooler months, but summer can be red hot for specks too, especially early in the morning.
Look, I could go on all day about the fish we'll be chasing and the memories we'll be making, but the best way to experience it is to get out there yourself. Our 5-hour trip is the perfect taste of what South Padre Island inshore fishing is all about. We've got the knowledge, we've got the spots, and we've got the fish – all we need is you.
