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

If I could give this place negative stars I would! Let me start by saying I was so excited for a “bay” fishing trip with my family and it was a TOTAL let down. I’ve been sea sick before and told myself I would NEVER go off shore again and this captain took our group past the Jetty’s into deep water so I was once again sea sick and completely miserable along with many others who DID NOT sign up to go into deep water. Had I known we were going past the bay on a so called “bay” fishing trip I would of stayed on land but instead I spent 4 hours hung over the boat sick. Let’s also mention that out of everyone on that boat there was ONE… let me say that again ONE fish that was a keeper and it was a whiteing. And let’s not talk about the fact that There was a under size black drum that was caught and kept which it totally illegal. I called the office 11 times while out there speaking my frustrations to the manager and kept getting told there was nothing they could do and that it was up to the captain to take us back to land. When I asked the captain to take me and my group along with other that were sick he said he couldn’t because there were other people that would lose out on time to fish. If he would of taken a good look at the boat he would’ve noticed that 3/4 of the people on the boat were either sick or sitting there not even fishing because no one was catching anything. Overall this trip was miserable and we were given false advertisement and I would not recommend this place to ANYONE! If you choose to go on a “bay” trip with this company be sure to take lots of Dramamine and be prepared to not catch any fish.

Staff was super friendly and the boat had plenty of space. Wasn’t the best day for fishing so I only caught one fish. But the staff kept mood up and the young kid with them even hung out with my little brother the whole time.
