Family-friendly inshore bay fishing charters out of Port Aransas, Rockport, and Aransas Pass — redfish, speckled trout, drum, and more. Captained by a guy who loves the water and the people on it.
Five inshore bay charter lengths built around how much water you want to cover and what kind of day you want to have. Every trip is fully guided on a 23' Majek bay boat — rods, reels, tackle, live bait, ice, and fish cleaning included.
Stay Salty Charters runs out of Port Aransas, working the productive bays, flats, marshes, and back lakes that stretch from Rockport down through Aransas Pass. The fishing program is built around redfish and speckled trout on light tackle — drifting, popping corks, sight-fishing the flats when conditions let us — with black drum, sheepshead, flounder, and seasonal species mixed in.
Trips are personal, patient with beginners, and built around having a good time — not a polished sales pitch. Stay salty.

Depending on the season, tide, and water conditions, anglers on a Stay Salty Charters trip may target:
The main event. Slot reds across the flats, marshes, and back lakes year-round, with bull reds in the cooler months.
Popping cork drifts over grass and shell, sight-casts when the water clears up, and the occasional gator trout.
A reliable winter and spring target — big drum in the deeper guts, smaller fish around docks and structure.
Sheepshead around pilings and rocks; flounder on the move during the fall run. Plus the occasional shark.
