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.

Cpt. Paco did a great job changing up bait, location and species to get us on the bite. We had a great trip!

August 18, 2025

100% Recommend. Family of 5 went out with Captain Paco. Experience was amazing, kid friendly with our youngest (6 yrs old), professional, explained everything in detail and patient. We will be back! Thank you!

August 18, 2025

Second year in a row, we have booked Captain Paco. Was an incredible experience. Action all day! We caught at least 30 fish today! Only able to keep 6 due to regulations. Boat was clean and in exceptional shape. Captain taught our 8 year old how to fish very well. Will book again next year for our yearly trip. Highly recommend his services for anglers of any skill level.

We couldn't have drafted a more perfect trip. Paco put us on the spot to be for sure!! We started our day with a double on our "over" red drum fish, then continued to bend rods as we caught our limit and then some. Which attracted attention of some other boats, but they came and left empty as we continued to net fish! Paco is exactly the person I search for as I book hunts and charters, just a good person trying to make an honest living. Thankfully after sorting through many other websites I narrowed my search and called Paco. Then upon the phone call, which turned into lengthy conversation, I knew this is the person to choose. Not a guide looking to slam as many trips into their schedule diluting the value of your vacation. He's looking to maximize the excitement of each trip and that message is clear with his investment into the larger and nicer boat he uses.

August 18, 2025

My teen boys and I had a blast with Captain Paco. Caught our limit on nice sized trout, and then some great Reds - biggest was 28.5”. Both of my boys really enjoyed learning from Captain Paco (so did I). Thanks for the amazing time, Captain Paco - looking forward to coming back again!

Fishing with Paco Hinojosa was an A+ experience! There were 3 of us to include a 5 year old. We went out for 6 hours and he was super knowledgeable, efficient and patient! He was eager to answer all the 5 year olds questions as well as our own. He took us to many spots and we did very well. He can tell you what's on your line just by watching the pole. He is very friendly and helpful! We took back gallon sized ziplocs full of different types of fish that he cleaned and filleted for us back at the dock! Customers for life every time we are back in the South Padre area! Book him, you won't regret it!
