It’s no secret that the Lone Star State is a great place for anglers. Between Texas’ 367 miles of Gulf of Mexico coastline, the expansive Laguna Madre bay, and hundreds of lakes and reservoirs, there’s a waterway for every kind of angler. But sometimes, you may not know where to start — or where the best fishing holes are. Luckily for Texans, two of the state’s most popular fishing destinations are also home to two of the best fishing charter companies in the nation, according to USA Today.
Port A’s Tejas Guide Service came in at No. 7, while Cowboy Charters came in at No. 3.
“You’ll head out to the jetties for redfish, speckled trout, black drum, and flounder with Captain Josh Garcia, who’s been fishing the area for over 25 years,” USA Today said of Tejas Guide Service.
“All trips come with rods, reels, tackle, bait, and ice provided, along with ice chests for the food and drink you will need to bring,” the ranking further reads.
Meanwhile, Cowboy Charters offers day-long guided fishing trips with in the bay, inshore, or out in the gulf for deep-sea fishing.
“Cowboy Charters offers unforgettable angling experiences unlike any other in Freeport, Texas,” USA Today said.
