Island Tackle Of Port Aransas

Ive been a bass fisherman my whole life but have very limited experience with saltwater. stumbled upon island tackle and they took the time to gauge my angling skills and determined how they could best outfit me with some gear and bait for fishing the jetty. The store was packed but they took the time to make sure I was all set up just like they did everyone that walked in. Can't wait to make another trip out there and visit them again.

Highly recommend to get your fishing supplies! They treat you like family. Definitely will be returning when we visit again!

I'm not a local, and I'm new to salt water fishing; However, I came prepared to slay the fish! Or so I thought. Picked up a few items: Fish lip gripper, hook remover, and proper scissors for my tackle bag. The woman who assisted me was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, just as I witnessed with other customers being served. I got a really great vibe here, and from what I could tell they had everything you'd need and then some. Also, their prices seemed very reasonable to me. I'll definitely be back with the rest of my list tomorrow. Thanks!

My brother and I were in the shop this morning prior to going fishing. I do not fish, but my brother does...a lot. Scott (my brother) was asking the owner, Randall, a ton of questions about local fishing and what equipment/tackle worked best. Randall had clear and concise responses to each question that to a novice like me was quite impressive. Randall is clearly very engaging in a positive way with his customers and potential customers which was also very impressive. I purchased a hat and a fishing license and my brother purchased some fishing equipment. The shop is quite nice, well stocked and properly organized. If I were a regular 'fisherman', this would be my "go to" shop!

My family and friends stopped here to rent poles for fishing. Super friendly husband and wife. They set us up and our kids caught lots of species of fish right from shore. Highly recommend them to anyone that wants to try Port A fishing. Sounds like he might be guiding soon! Best of luck to a really friendly couple. See you next time for sure!!!

Helen is AMAZING!!! We are so thankful for her!! She sales some of the BEST fishing/beach/etc. polarized glasses for $20!!Best lady!!!!Very kind hearted!!!! Thank you so much Helen for everything!!!!!!

As first time ocean "fishermen", we needed a lot of guidance, and they were there to help us get all the supplies that we needed. They gave us a great recommendation for where to fish and were very kind to us out-of-towners. Definitely coming here again on our next trip to Port A.

Amazing tackle store, my handle broke on my reel and they fixed it for me no charge! Amazing place! They have everything you need and then some! If you need tackle, advice, or an awesome Hemlock hat, this is the place to visit!

We traveled here for the summer and wanted to go catch some shark. We heard good things about this place and they did not lie. Great prices ($20 per rod rental for two days). These people were super friendly and wanted to know all about what we had caught. Definitely go here for any fishing needs. Love giving my money to great friendly business owners!

I never leave a review but these people are amazing!!! We went right after memorial day. We wanted to go shark fishing. They were very knowledgeable on the subject and rigged us out accordingly with 2 rods, tackle, and rod holders, all for only $140 for 2 days!! We did end up catching a shark (my first one) and was super excited. We also got hooked on something huge and unfortunately snapped the rod... we returned the rental (with the broken rod) and we lost one of the rod holders as well. We were very upset/ felt bad, and wanted to pay for the broken/ missing gear. They refused to take any additional money, and were very apologetic that we had lost the catch. I have never seen any type of customer service like this we were all blown away. And very thankful for the experience they provided.
