Paco Hinojosa, Captain at SPI Fish Killer Charters

Looking for a fishing trip that’s all about real-time action, expert guidance, and family fun? Based in South Padre Island, Texas, Captain Paco Hinojosa offers access to some of the best year-round fishing in the Lower Laguna Madre Bay and Gulf of Mexico. Whether you're chasing trophy Speckled Trout in the bay or hauling in Red Snapper, King Mackerel, or Dorado offshore, you're in for a day packed with opportunity and solid fishing.


This isn’t your average “limit out and head home” trip. With Captain Paco, your time on the water matters. If you book a half or full day, you’ll fish the entire duration unless you ask to call it early. Some days bring non-stop action, others require a bit more patience—but every trip is built to be enjoyable, productive, and worth your time. The focus is simple: great fishing, honest effort, and lasting memories.


Inshore waters hold a variety of species including Red Drum, Black Drum, Snook, and Flounder, while offshore trips can lead you to Tarpon, Sailfish, Ling (Cobia), and more. Whether you’re casting from the deck or wading into shallow flats, Captain Paco tailors each trip to match your experience level and the day's conditions.


This charter welcomes anglers of all backgrounds, from seasoned pros to first-time fishers. Experienced anglers can choose from drift fishing, topwater action, wade fishing, or structure and bottom fishing using artificial lures or bait. Beginners can stick with proven bait setups, and if the fish aren’t cooperating, Captain Paco will walk you through more advanced techniques.


Large family groups are especially welcome. This operation is ideal for parties of 4 to 6, including kids, and puts safety and comfort first. You’ll fish aboard a 29' 2021 Panga Imemsa center console, powered by a 200hp 2021 Mercury Four Stroke outboard. The boat features high sides, a non-slip surface, and a removable Bimini Top for shade over the rear cooler. Whether in the bay or offshore, this boat delivers a safe and smooth ride for your entire group.


To prepare for your trip, bring clothing suited to the weather, a hat, sunscreen, and polarized sunglasses. Pack some drinks and snacks to keep you going, and make sure everyone in your group has a valid Texas fishing license with the required saltwater stamp.


Book your South Padre Island fishing adventure with Captain Paco Hinojosa today—whether you're chasing trophy fish, planning a family outing, or just ready to enjoy a solid day on the water with a dependable local guide.
