5.00We had an absolutely incredible experience with South Padre Island Excursions! We went out fishing with Chapo, and within just a couple of hours we had already limited out — it doesn’t get much better than that. From start to finish, everything was handled with total professionalism, and you can tell they truly know what they’re doing. Every trip we’ve taken with them has been nothing short of amazing — they always seem to find the fish and make the whole experience fun and effortless. If you’re in town, this is an absolute must-do. 10/10, we’ll definitely be back again!
Great experience!

5.00Took my kids fishing (12,15,18), they don't have much fishing experience but Bradey was awesome and was very helpful, so much so that we limited out on Black Drum inside 90 minutes. He put us right on the fish and we all had a blast!
