Seasoned anglers and novices alike come to visit Port Aransas each year, which isn’t surprising given that the area is considered to be the “Fishing capital of Texas,” and one of the premier locations to fish for red snapper. If you’re interested in booking a deep sea fishing charter, you may have some questions about what to expect, what to bring, and how to maximize your fishing experience. Here are some of BWE’s frequently asked questions about Deep Sea Fishing in Port Aransas.


What kind of boat is used for Deep Sea Fishing Charters?

Captain Chad Banks is a licensed master 200 ton captain with over 10+ years of experience and thousands of fishing trips offshore of Port Aransas under his belt. Captain Chad steers the “Dog House,” a 36 ft long 12 foot wide catamaran powered by 300 horse power twin outboard 4 stroke Yamahas.


The “Dog House” catamaran is equipped with all the bait and tackle needed to have a successful deep sea fishing trip in Port Aransas. Onboard you will find a bathroom, however there is no AC, so in case of no wind days, you should prepare for hot weather.


What do we need to bring?

BWE Deep Sea Fishing Charters recommends you bring a few items on board with you to ensure you fully enjoy your fishing experience. First and foremost, food! We recommend you bring a to-go food order of your choice onto your fishing excursions as long as there’s no glass.


In addition to food, we recommend bringing the following on your deep sea fishing charter:

  • Valid Texas fishing license
