Captain Murphy’s Fishing Charters

Great time at captain murphys ! We went on a 4 hour bay fishing trip. Well it actually was longer. We had some partied out spring break ravers that got left behind (sprint breaks over) on our boat that we have to wait for because half of them went to go get food 15 mins before the boat left. And also they paid the captain to take them
Back home early ! Sucks to be them hahahah but the captain and crew was super cool about it they asked everyone on board if they were cool with dropping them off and EVERYONE said yea cause these people were so loud obnoxious and annoying. Anyways. I personally only caught 2 fish. Neither were keepers lol but everyone else caught tons of fish! Most everyone’s stringer had at least 5 keepers on them ! My fiancée caught a freakin stingray! How cool. Both deck hands and the captain were super cool and super helpful. They were fishing as well and would Give their fish to either kids or people who hadn’t caught any fish (me) Haha. they cleaned our fish for .50 cents and then we took them to parrot eyes for a great birthday dinner ! Good job captain murphys !!

Very good experience, was my first time deep see fishing, crew was super friendly and helpful, everyone enjoyed their 8 hours trip (except for the youngsters who were knocked down by sea sickness all trip lol). The plan was to fish for sharks but when we took off looking for shrimp boats we couldn’t find any for 2 hours so we started fishing with the bacup bait they had and we were catching those snappers like non stop… We fished in 3 different spots and we’re getting only snappers, too bad it was off season so we were releasing them back but still had great times. Can’t wait for my next trip…
Thanks Captain Murphy:)

We went on the Eco/​dolphin watch yesterday and I have to say, we are all impressed by their knowledge and professionalism. We are so glad we decided to go on the tour with them instead of the competitor next door. You can’t beat a $ 10/​ticket! My niece had so much fun and we saw tons of Dolphins. The tour guide also even helped us find a perfect spot on the boat for pictures. Good experience! Go here, people! Back to Seattle we go~

My son was in town so we decided to go out snapper fishing. It was our first time out. The crew was very professional and accomidating. The boat is very clean and well maintained. I also thought the price for a half day trip was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Captain Murphy’s.

This place was awesome for deep sea fishing. We picked captain murphy’s over the other options on padre island because of reviews that we read and we agree with all of them! There were quite a few people that ended up getting sea sick but the captain made sure that everyone had their max amount of fish before we went back, even the ones that weren’t feeling well enough to fish for their own! This was our first time ever going deep sea fishing and it was quite the experience. If we ever came back to the island I would go fishing with captain murphy’s again in a heart beat!!!
Ps. We ended up going out for only a half day because they suggested that it might be better for a first time trip… And it was the best thing we could’ve done! I went with my family of 4 and I was the only one that didn’t get sick, the others would’ve been miserable for a lot longer if we chose to do the full day. (and we all took Dramamine ahead of time)

Bay fishing with Jonathan and the crew is quite an experience. A must-​do for those looking for a good price and good people

Great entertainment from the two guys working today! They were so friendly and made the ride enjoyable! Great ride for $ 20! Don’t forget to tip them for exceptional service! Both are knowledgable of where to find the hot spots for dolphins and will take pics for you!

Unbelievable fish catching machines these Murphys are! A 3^rd generation run family fishing team that always put fish on the boat. Great customer service as well. They also offer Dolphin watches, sunset cruises, eco trips, and party cruises. One stop shop!

I would definitely recommend this place to go Bay or DeepSea fishing. At first, i was here for fun and didn’t think we would be catching anything. We went over the limit and gave it away to people next to us.

During our weekly stay in Padre this trip, we went on Captain Murphy’s Bay Fishing Trip, Dolphin Watch and then the Eco Tour.
Bay fishing is always fun and this time my son caught 8 fish and my daughter caught 6 fish and a sting ray. We went out into the gulf for a portion of the trip and I had to fight nausea for first couple hours. If I would have know we were going so far into the gulf I would have taken Dramamine. We will take this trip next year as well.
The sunset dolphin watch was very nice and it is fun to hear the Captain talk about the bay and share his knowledge. The kids saw plenty of dolphins and had a great time.
We called ahead to make reservation for the Eco Tour and were pretty excited about seeing what animal we would get to see. The net was only dropped once and the only animal in the net was a star fish. We asked if he would drop the net again and he said no due to time constraints. After one net drop this so called Eco Tour turned into a dolphin watch. Had I realized that it was actually just a dolphin watch we would have skipped it because we went on the same dolphin watch the prior evening.
Overall always a good experience and we will return for more bay fishing!

Awesome first fishing trip! For starters, the lady that works in the office is very friendly and sweet. I had never been on a fishing boat and I was very nervous. We did a Bay Fishing trip from 1−5pm. Including myself, there were a total of 9 people plus the captain and one crew member. There was plenty of room for everyone to move around and the ride was very smooth. My favorite thing about the trip, besides spending time with family, was how friendly the captain and crew member were. I am not an experienced fisher and every time I caught something, they were right there to remove the fish from the hook. At one point, my line got caught up in the reel, and they came right over and fixed it. My family had such a great time on our trip with Captain Murphy’s! We’ll definitely be back next time we visit South Padre!

Best fishing trip ever! The crew was awesome and took care of our every needs! They were very patient and answered all our questions. We caught our limit! The trip was almost canceled due to anchor problems but the crew members pulled the anchor up by hand twice! WHAT A GREAT CREW! I would recommend this charter to everyone!

This was by far one of the best charter’s we have ever taken! The staff are great!!! Friendly, helpful and they make it a fun experience. Normally we charter out of Galveston but will make the drive down to Murphy’s from now on. It’s far but worth it. This is the first charter that we have been on that the captain has come down and interacted with everyone. The rest of the crew were polite and patient and as I said made it fun. Too many times have I seen rude crew members that had no patience with people who didn’t know a lot about fishing and just seemed in general very unhappy to be working. If you are new to fishing or have children this is for you. I saw the crew helping the kids on the boat and explaining how to do things. I even learned some new tips. The price is great and a good alternative if you don’t want to shell out a thousand plus for a private charter. We did the 8 hour trip but they have many options to chose from. And most importantly. Fish on!!!
