Experience Incredible Fishing Charters Port Aransas

By Stephanie Harris


Off the coast of Texas, in the Gulf of Mexico, lies the eighteen mile long Mustang Island. There is only one established town on this island, encompassing just five miles of area. All throughout the year, visitors come to enjoy the variety of top quality fishing charters Port Aransas has to offer, and to enjoy the other wonderful amenities found in this quaint little place with a big personality.

The island has moderate temperatures all throughout the year, with lows in the high 50's during the winter, and the summer highs being around the mid 80's. This, and the gentle breeze blowing from the gulf, make this location perfect for activities practically any time. It is a particular favorite for both seasoned anglers looking for a serious catch, and the weekend dabbler wanting an exciting experience.

The gulf coast of Texas is well known for its top rated angling options. It has a wide range of locations that are perfect for practically any type of casting one might prefer. No matter what one's personal style and preferences, they can find a sweet spot to make their own brand of angler paradise.

One of the great perks of this island town is that a person can choose to cast their line out in the bay, off the jetties, or just offshore. They can then take their daily catch to some of the local eateries and they will cook it to one's personal tastes. Guests can enjoy the fruits of their labors fresh while enjoying a great waterside view.

For individuals who prefer to stay on land to cast, there are four piers open to the public and well lit for safety. The bay area and shallow waterways around Mustang Island are filled with many types of gaming fish. Some of the varieties found in these collective waters include trout, redfish, red snapper, shark, flounder, marlin, dorado, wahoo, and both blackfin and yellowfin tuna.

Anglers have many options, including taking their own craft out alone, using the services of an expert guide for instruction and guidance to the best spots, hiring an excursion meant for smaller groups, or contract a party boat that will take on as many as 40 passengers. Company and preferences can determine if the outing is a few hours, or lasts a full day. Package pricing may also include tackle, bait, ice pack, and catch cleaning.

Each day, deep sea excursions depart from several marinas, providing patrons with an offshore experience they will remember for a lifetime. Coasting out on the open waters, anglers can reel in larger catches such as tuna, marlin, sharks, kingfish, sailfish, and others. Packages are available on both public and private craft that can satisfy many preferences and all skill levels.

Several angling competitions and tournaments are hosted by Mustang Island every year, encompassing all ages and abilities. Regattas, themed cruises, boating, kayaking, parasailing, surfing, sailing, kite-boarding, golfing, festivals, and wildlife observation, are just a few of the exciting activities in which guests may participate. A range of dining and shopping options, world class hotels, inns, and vacation rentals, are among the fine amenities offered in this little town with big possibilities.
