Discover Remote Wilderness and Incredible Fishing at Padre Island National Seashore

Come on an adventure with Padre Island Expeditions to discover the untouched wilderness and exceptional fishing opportunities in Padre Island National Seashore. Captain Colin Davis, a seasoned angler, is passionate about this hidden gem, known as South Beach, where he grew up using commercial fishing techniques. Now, he takes pride in guiding visitors to the most tranquil spots, connecting with the vast ocean and challenging formidable fish species. His powerful beach vehicle ensures access to the secluded coastline, where you can set up camp and have trolling rods ready to entice your desired catch. You can choose to troll with a Zodiac inflatable boat or try bottom fishing from the vessel. Stay for a full-day excursion or spend a couple of days camping on the beach, immersing yourself in the untouched natural surroundings. Target various species, including Trout, Pompano, Drum, Mackerel, as well as Tarpon, Jacks, and the ultimate challenge – Sharks. Prepare for an intense battle and leave with an unforgettable story. Whether coming for the day or camping, Capt. Colin can provide a lunch service, offering hamburgers and hot dogs for a fee. However, it is recommended to bring your own drinks and snacks as you will be virtually isolated on the beach. Remember to secure your TX fishing license and get ready for a thrilling fishing experience with Padre Island Expeditions – your ticket to unrivaled fishing adventures!
