Some of your best vacation ventures can be found in the state of Texas. This is especially true of the area surrounding the gulf coast where visitors can participate in both deep sea and shallow in-shore tours catering to fishermen and their families. Fishing charters South Padre Island can be a destination of their own or they can serve as a spectacular finishing touch for the family vacation of a lifetime.

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.

Regardless of your experience level you will find ample assistance when you charter a tour. The equipment you need to fish is supplied along with any bait, lures or other tackle. The crew knows where to find fish at all times of the year and will help their guests learn the methods of hooking and landing their prey.

The boats do not supply their guests with some things and will provide their guests with a list of items to bring with them. One of the most important things on the list is food and water. Some captains will arrange catered food for guests if they have enough advance notice but most prefer that you bring your own. They also need you to have in your possession prior to boarding a picture ID and a license to fish in Texas. The recommended items include sun screen, sun glasses, a hat, cameras and sea sickness medication. It is suggested that you have some cash on hand also for tipping and miscellaneous expenses.

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.

There are services available for cleaning any fish you choose to keep for consumption. You will also find restaurants in the immediate area that will be happy to prepare your catch for dinner when you return to shore in the evening. The cost of these services is very reasonable and reportedly the dinners are exceptional.

The boats can be leased for full or half day tours and can accommodate from two guests all the way up to eighty persons. A double decked boat is available for large family parties or perhaps a corporate get-together for clients or personnel. The safety measures in place on boats ensure the safety of passengers and children are welcome on nearly all boats.

An angling vacation on the Gulf of Mexico is a year round option that may be the most memorable event of your lifetime.
