Fishing Charters

Captain Andrew Marikos – Inshore Charters is a South Padre Island-based guiding service led by Captain Andrew Marikos, who was born and raised on the island and grew up fishing the Lower Laguna Madre. After earning his U.S. Coast Guard captain’s license in 2013, he began guiding visitors and sharing his knowledge of the area’s fishing and ecosystem. The business focuses on customized fishing charters for people with a range of experience, from newcomers to seasoned anglers.

Trips target popular regional species, including Red Drum, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Snook, Red Snapper, and Cobia. Guests can pursue a trophy catch or try for a Texas Snook, with Captain Andrew providing guidance on the water. Charters use his 24-foot Shallow Sport Mod V, described as comfortable for fishing in both the shallow bay and deeper offshore waters. The site also identifies hunting and eco tours among its offerings, though further details are not provided. Rates vary, and prospective customers are invited to call for information.
