People consider Texas a great place to vacation for many reasons. There are so many different aspects to this state that one visit is rarely enough. One of the most popular destinations for tourism is the coastal waters of the gulf of Mexico where you will be able to schedule fishing charters South Padre Island that will take you and your family into the deep waters of this gulf.
This area experiences mild weather year round and tours can be arranged well into the fall and winter months when it may not be so hot. The busiest months are during the summer with the peak season being in August and September. You can enjoy deep sea excursions or shallow water trips closer to the shore for anchored or wading angling.
Whether you are an experienced fisherman or a total novice you will find no shortage of fish to catch. Boat captains and crew will happily show you how to hook and land any fish you catch. The boat supplies all rods and reels needed and bait and tackle is also included. The captain of your boat is well acquainted with the fish you seek and where to find them. You will find that there are more than eighteen species of fish in these gulf and coastal waters around this island.
Although some tours are able to supply food and refreshments upon request for their guests most require that food be supplied by those chartering the boat. They also suggest that polarized sun glasses, hats and sun screen be purchased prior to departure from the docks. You will also need identification, a license to fish in Texas waters and it is a good idea to carry some cash for tipping and casual expenses. Other miscellaneous items mentioned are cameras and motion sickness medication for those unaccustomed to the ocean movement.
For those seeking big game fish this area is a paradise. You will be able to catch marlin, tuna and even sharks during your excursion. Some of these fish are mandated catch and release game and many captains maintain this policy for all of them caught on their boats. This policy is an effort to help maintain the numbers available for future generations as well as a means of sustaining current numbers in the area. Most people find that the catching and fighting process with these fish is exciting enough and killing the fish serves no good purpose.
Upon returning to shore after a long day there are services that will clean and fillet your catch for you. They are wrapped and put on dry ice for transportation or you can take them to local dinner houses where they will cook them for your dinner that evening. If the crew is involved with the cleaning the fish a generous tip is appropriate.
Most boats welcome family groups and children aboard. They have specific safety measures in place that help to ensure a safe cruise for everyone on the boat. The boats may hold as few as three people or as many as eighty as is seen on the double decked party boat available for larger parties.
An angling vacation on the Gulf of Mexico is a year round option that may be the most memorable event of your lifetime.
