What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Port Isabel, Texas for the first time?

This was our fifth fishing trip in the area and by far the best. After the first 4, I was skeptical at best. Captain Josh will get all of our guided fishing business in the future. Forget the party boats in this fishery.

We went out in Jan on an overcast day with cooler weather.. I know they say fish in foul weather but we really wanted some good eating fish and got nice catfish all day.. Just a fluke and I know you can 't have it all the time. Had a great time,, Captain was great, boat was fun... Fish were fun and we caught a bunch...just wasn't looking for catfish. Oh well, maybe next time... Thanks for the great time.

Book with George Strader , "George's Fishing Charter Service"! This guy will make your day! He had a sonogram instrument on his boat to find the fish. The day had a North Wind, which was not ideal for fishing--it kept the schools on the move and caused big swells in the gulf. The Bay, however, was excellent, much calmer & easier to find large schools of fish. The water was pretty cool but warm enough for a refreshing swim.

It was my first time fishing out of this port, and it was easy, friendly, and not hard to find anything at all. Recommended.

Just enjoy the time and cherish the moments with luved ones fish or no fish just being together Its a Blessing well worth it

Yes, although we were in fairly shallow water, fish were biting, however not many keepers that morning.

Captain Ryan is just the guy to help you catch some fish. He is friendly and knowledgeable and will do his best to help you have the best fishing experience possible.

Port Isabel is a prime fishing spot if your thinking about taking a fishing trip on the lower Laguna Madre don’t think twice just do it you won’t regret it

Keep a close eye on the weather and find a Capt who is easy to contact. Also find an experienced captain who has good ratings. That's your best chance at a successful day.

Go at a time the weather is more stable. Nathan did a good job. Just tough fishing

We were told since the freeze there hasn't been alot of fish. So we were happy to get what we got

It was HOT and H U M I D ...so I would go earlier or later in the year if possible.
