"Fishing with Capt. Victoria Ortiz at V.O. Charters was an incredible experience! As an experienced angler, I've been on many fishing trips, but the knowledge and expertise Victoria brings to the table are unmatched. We landed some impressive speckled trout and red drum around South Padre Island. Her insights on using live bait and soft plastics truly made a difference. Highly recommend for anyone looking to catch a variety of species in Port Isabel."
"I was a bit nervous as a beginner, but Victoria's patience and easygoing nature put me right at ease. She took the time to teach me the basics of fishing, and I ended up catching my first flounder! The trip around Port Isabel was both educational and fun. I can't thank V.O. Charters enough for making my first fishing experience so memorable."
"Our family had the best time fishing with Victoria on South Padre Island! She was amazing with the kids, teaching them how to fish for mangrove snapper and sheepshead. We all caught something and learned a lot in the process. Her 20 years of experience definitely shine through, making it a perfect family outing. We can't wait to come back!"
Port Isabel Trout Fishing
Fishing the vibrant waters around Port Isabel is one of the best ways to target speckled trout along the Texas coast. These waters are loaded with structure, current, and baitfish — all the ingredients for a strong bite. Whether you're casting live bait along grassy shorelines or working soft plastics through deeper channels, trout action here is reliable and rewarding. While most anglers come for the trout, you’ll often hook into other inshore species like mangrove snapper or sheepshead throughout the day. It’s a laid-back, productive fishery that offers plenty of action without having to run far or deal with big water. For both first-timers and seasoned anglers, Port Isabel delivers the kind of fishing that keeps you coming back.

Meet Your Expert Guide
I’ve been fishing the Texas coast since I was five years old—chasing redfish, speckled trout, and anything else that pulls line. But I didn’t learn this alone. I grew up on the water with my dad, a full-time guide with over 35 years of experience. He was my hero then and still is. He taught me everything I know about fishing, patience, and doing things the right way.
But it wasn’t just him—God put this passion in my heart, and it’s been there ever since.
My father is also available for guided trips, and I’d trust him with any client. You can reach him directly at (956) 408-0711.
