I've been fishing along the Texas coastline for more than 12 years. My journey began with kayak fishing in offshore waters, then I moved on to a couple of Seadoos. Eventually, I upgraded to a twin-engine center console boat, and now I enjoy fishing from my 40-foot express boat. While the express offers great comfort, it does require more maintenance and care. The conditions on the Texas coast can be challenging, but they make the experience all the more exciting. I often travel to Costa Rica to explore different fishing styles, which helps me enhance future trips.
These folks are outstanding! We will definitely book with them again. They are true professionals who keep you informed about every step. Trey, the first mate, attended to all our needs and coordinated excellently with Captain Addison. My wife and son also had a wonderful time on the trip. Thank you for your kind feedback! We look forward to fishing with you all again soon.

Join Captain Addison for an unforgettable 12-hour deep-sea fishing expedition departing from Port Aransas. This comprehensive full-day trip blends two exciting fishing styles—trolling for sought-after pelagic species and deep dropping for bottom-dwelling favorites—giving you the perfect chance to explore the diverse marine life of the Gulf Coast.
With extensive experience fishing the deep offshore waters of Port Aransas, Captain Addison is passionate about sharing his knowledge with anglers of all experience levels. He ensures that you are equipped with the best techniques and tackle to make your day on the water a success.
The adventure begins with trolling, targeting fast and powerful pelagic fish such as Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, and Kingfish. This method allows you to cover large areas of water and increases your chances of hooking thrilling billfish.
Later, the focus shifts to deep dropping where you’ll fish for bottom species like Tilefish, Scamp Grouper, and Red Snapper. Using either cut or live bait, deep dropping offers an exciting opportunity to catch delicious fish from the depths. If you’re new to this style, Captain Addison will gladly guide you through the process.
The trip takes place aboard a 40-foot Luhrs sportfisher, powered by twin Yanmar engines delivering a combined 1,000 horsepower. The vessel is designed for both comfort and performance, featuring a spacious, air-conditioned cabin equipped with beds, couches, and a full bathroom—ideal for spending a long day offshore. Additional amenities include a livewell to keep bait fresh and a Bluetooth sound system to enjoy your favorite tunes while fishing.
Captain Addison supplies all necessary rods, reels, tackle, and live bait. For an added convenience, your catch can be cleaned and bagged upon return for an extra fee. Don’t forget to bring your preferred snacks and drinks; beer is allowed but please avoid glass containers for safety.
Whether you’re a seasoned offshore angler or trying deep-sea fishing for the first time, this trip offers an excellent combination of sport and relaxation, with diverse species to target and a comfortable vessel to keep you comfortable throughout the day.
