Join Captain Jeff in the afternoon around 4pm for an exciting dusk adventure targeting the Texas Big 3. These evening charters are ideal for avoiding the intense midday heat. While it may not feel completely cool—especially during the summer months—it’s certainly more comfortable than fishing under the midday sun.
Based on the season and current fishing conditions, your trip might take you to Estes Flats, Aransas Bay, Red Fish Bay, and possibly further afield to Laguna Madre or the Gulf Surf.
Departing from the Redfish Camp Boat Ramp in Aransas Pass, Captain Jeff primarily focuses on catching the daily limits of Redfish and large Trout. Techniques include using popping corks through the bays, sight fishing in shallow waters, or drifting over shell bottoms.
Your targeted species will include Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Black Drum. Depending on the time of year, one species may be biting more aggressively than the others, and Captain Jeff will provide guidance on the best options when you book your trip.
