Welcome to
the beautiful city of Port Aransas (referred to by the locals as Port
“A”), Texas, the home of B&B Offshore and Bay Charters, your Texas
connection to Private, First-Class Offshore and Bay Fishing adventures.
We hope that you will take time to visit each page so that when you
decide to plan your next Saltwater Fishing trip, you’ll give us a call!
If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at
800-460-1843.
Port Aransas, the Saltwater Fishing Capital of Texas, is located at the
northern tip of Mustang Island, one of the barrier islands along the
Central Texas Coast across from Corpus Christi Bay. Mustang Island,
which is named for the wild horses that once roamed the island, is an
18-mile stretch of clean, sandy beach which opens up to the sprawling
Gulf of Mexico, a unique body of water and certainly one of the richest
in deep sea fishing opportunities in the entire world.

What makes the Gulf of Mexico so rich
and abundant in game fish? The warm Caribbean Current sweeping northward
into the Gulf, and the Loop Current which generates many migratory loops
throughout the Gulf, heavily influence the ups and downs of angling.
Nevertheless, the importance of these currents to the Gulf’s rich
resources is obvious. The warm, southern flow mixes with the cooler
waters of the Gulf to stir up a rich mix of plankton – the basis of the
food chain for all sport fish.
B&B Outfitters and Offshore and Bay Charters offers some of the best
Offshore and Bay fishing you’ll ever experience. We offer year round
charters, full days as well as ½, both offshore and inshore, however
during the
peak season (Spring Break; Memorial Day through
Labor Day) 4 & 5 hour charters available Tues-Thurs only, otherwise they
are available year round. The ½ day offshore charters are only
available Mondays (except for holidays) through Thursday. We offer
non-specific and species-specific fishing. Tell us what you want to
catch and we’ll do our very best to hook you up!
We require a $200 deposit for offshore charters and a $100 deposit for
the inshore (bay) charters. In the event of bad weather we will attempt
to reschedule your trip – deposits are transferable for up to one year.
If this is not possible your deposit may be refunded. Any cancellations
must be made prior to 14 days from departure date or the deposit in
non-refundable.
