Bay Fishing South Padre Island

Overview

The fishing on the bay is great fishing, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Whiting, and many others, including Red Fish. Bay fishing trips primarily target tasty sand trout and whiting but customers will also have opportunities to catch red drum and black drum. Customers can also bring their own gear if they desire, but Captain Murphy’s will not be responsible for it.

All persons fishing, ages 17 and older are required to have a valid Texas Saltwater Fishing License. You can easily purchase a fishing license online by going to Texas Parks and Wildlife website and Fishing License

Not a high end fishing excursion, but well worth the money. Crew was so fun and helpful. Nice way to spend 4 hours and enjoy a family outing. Most of our family had not really fished before so a great way to introduce them to this activity. You can bring your own lunch, snacks and alcoholic beverages.

The captain and crew were amazing. They were very knowledgeable and patient with my kids. I brought 4 little kids on board and they even helped by catching a fish themselves and letting my 5 year old reel it in. Cesar and David are awesome!

Their patience and enthusiasm truly make a difference, and it’s great that your 5-year-old got to experience reeling in a fish firsthand. 🐟 Such a memorable moment!

Caught a good stringer of fish that they fileted and we took to Joe's in Port Isabel to have them cook them up for us! Great experience
