Surfside Beach Charters

Want to catch some fish? Are you near/​visiting Surfside Beach, Texas and want an awesome experience with a salt water fishing guide? Then call Surfside Beach Charters! Captain Kevin or Captain Johnny will give you the best experience that you can get in the Surfside/​Freeport area without a doubt!
We were honored to be aboard with Captain Kevin on «Size Matters» (a fine vessel primarily slated for full-​day federal waters fishing trips), the larger of the 2 boats. «Live Action» is the «smaller» vessel, but moreso different by design and primarily for ½ day trips in state waters.
When you call, you’ll hopefully get Sharon (Captain Kevin’s wife). She’s in control of the calendar/​bookings. Should you reach Captain Kevin, he’s likely on a trip when you call (esp. if he sounds otherwise preoccupied; and yet we heard him on a call to be so kind answering many other questions that weren’t directly related to fishing!). So, should this happen to you, please understand & simply call the other # listed!
Oh! I must mention an incredible side note: our trip was delayed! Captain Kevin called me early in the morning of our scheduled afternoon trip. The waters were too rough & wind was bad: he initially cancelled our trip for ALL of our behalves. Turns out, the next day booking cancelled. He called us back to reschedule the trip or to refund our deposit. The timing was right: It was better conditions and we had the time, so we jumped at the rescheduling opportunity!
Fishing: what a good guide knows best! Surfside Beach Charters know where to go to catch fish! (I have no intention to slam anyone else, but it’s really cool when you pull in & here that «other» charters didn’t do or fair as well as we did!) Your capt will ask you your goals and do his best to meet your goals & exceed your expectations. But always know, THEY nor WE are not always able to achieve ALL expectations… that part is up to the fish and the conditions. Our day wasn’t the best for some fish, but for others it rocked!
Family fishing: 2 parents & 2 kids… our kids were seasick the majority of the time: 1 never saw a fish caught (puking or eyes closed, wishing he stayed home); the other reeled in a few fish, but was reeling over the side of the boat for other reasons! «Sea bands» don’t work worth a flip, FYI. I took Dramamine too late (1 hr prior to trip, as directed): be sure to take it at least 3 – 4 hrs in advance (I was fine for the 2^nd half of our trip). Captain Kevin was SO sweet during the wretchedness: he slowed the boat for big waves, did his best maneuvering the waters to minimize «ugliness» (choppy day out there for us!), drove fast when he could, fished «for me» when I needed to gather my composure, and handed over the rod when I was ready… Captain Kevin is da bomb!
Saltwater fishing charters are not cheap, but the experience with a solid outfit is worth every penny! Included in the price is filleting your fish caught, and wonderful bounties await as they filled our bellies (with plenty more to come!): Freshly caught fish = the best fish you will ever eat! Be sure to tip your captain well, especially for a successful adventure ($ 50 = goals achieved; more for «blew my mind awesome!»).
We absolutely recommend Surfside Beach Charters for guided saltwater fishing charters: you’ll catch fish, you’ll be treated professionally/down-to-earth/“real”, you have experienced captains, your accommodations are «sea-​worthy», you’ll be eating well, and the experience is priceless!
Thank you, Surfside Beach Charters: you’re 1^st on the list for our next chartered saltwater fishing expedition!
Life memories were made today! May they help make lasting memories for you too!
