If you're ready to go fishing in Port Arthur, Sabine Pass and Cameron Louisiana, look no further than Hardhead Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Luke knows them forwards and back.
Tripletail, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Redfish, Flounder, and more are in the cards, depending on the season. For these species, you're likely to sight cast, drift or bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea!
Your vessel for the day is a 22' NauticStar center console with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you may need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
Don't forget to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

4 Hour Trip on July 6, 2026ย โขย 2 adultsThis was the best trip ever. I cant believe how great of a day it was. We were on the fish immediately, we caught our limit on multiple species in just a few hours. Captain Luke was an amazing captain that made you feel like you were on a trip with the boys. It was very refeshing being with a guide who truly loves what he does and actually wants to be there. I would recommend him to anyone. I will be giving him a call everytime I come to the area from now on!!!
Brian Herrick5.0VerifiedGood times, Solid Trip
4 Hour Trip on June 28, 2026ย โขย 2 adultsEnjoyed are trip with Captain Luke, no shortage of fish caught, solid boat and reels. I've been on a few guided trips and Captain Luke made sure we were always over fish, replaced snagged or damaged hooks quick and stepped in to help us get our lines back in the water quick to keep us in the game. Would recommend, I'll be reaching back for late summer trip.
Merritt Weeks5.0VerifiedAwesome morning of casting and reeling!

4 Hour Trip on June 24, 2026ย โขย 2 adultsThe water has a delicate balance of salt and fresh water. Tropical Arthur had gone thru just a few days before we got here. Captain Luke put us on fish. As a bonus we caught nice blue crabs. Great time and great Captain.

We had an outstanding trip with Hardheaded Charters LLC and Captain Luke! From the moment we got on the water, Captain Luke was professional, friendly, and worked hard to make sure we had a great experience. Partway through the trip, my son started getting a little motion sick. Captain Luke immediately adjusted our plans, checked on him several times, and made sure he was comfortable. He even extended our trip to make up for the time we lost while getting my son feeling better. That level of customer service meant a lot to us. Even with the adjustment, we caught several fish, including a few keepers, and stayed busy catching others throughout the trip. It was a fun day on the water, and Captain Luke did everything he could to put us on fish while making sure everyone enjoyed themselves. If you're looking for a knowledgeable captain who genuinely cares about his customers and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Captain Luke with Hardheaded Charters LLC. We'll definitely be booking another trip!

Best guide out there!!! Captain Luke was very attentive from the very beginning when we had questions regarding services to the time we got back to the dock with plenty of fish. Perfect for beginner family fishing trip or a trip with expert anglers for a fish haul. Captain Luke put us on the fish. Extremely knowledgeable in everything fish related and very personable made it both fun and educational. You can tell his his heart is in it, we spoke the entire time, hilarious dude. He seems to want to leave a lasting impression on his clients. Captain Luke went above and beyond our expectations, Absolutely the Best guided trip I've Ever been on. Will definitely be booking again. Cheers.
