You don’t have your own fishing boat, and hiring a guide is a bit on the expensive side? You may want to consider jumping aboard a party boat. Party boats are large fishing boats that take aboard anglers, often dozens at a time, who pay by the head (which is why they’re also called “head boats” sometimes) to go bottom fishing. While its true that there aren’t a huge number of party boats out there, you will see them in most major ports (you’ll find most of them in Galveston, Freeport, Corpus Christi, and South Padre). Successfully fishing on a party boat does, however, require a bit of special know-how. Yes, anyone can walk aboard and be successful. But if you know these tricks and tips, you’ll be among the high-liners of the day.
Bonus Tip: If you can get a spot at the transom, these are often the best. Most captains anchor so they can see the structure and fish on the fishfinder, and the transducer is usually located near the stern of the boat. Accordingly, the stern is often parked in the best position.
