If you're looking for an exciting fishing competition in Texas, take advantage of the Texas International Fishing Tournament, the largest of its kind in the state. Head to the event with a full gas tank and cast your line to win some money in this offshore competition. The tournament has three divisions: bay, tarpon, and offshore, and it takes place on Port Isabel and South Padre Island, surrounded by the Laguna Madre Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Anglers of all ages participate in the event, which attracts thousands of spectators. During the two-day competition, bay anglers will weigh their speckled trout, redfish, and flounder catches. At the same time, offshore fishermen will compete for the giant blue marlin, white marlin, and sailfish catches. If you're not up for fishing on a boat, you can still enjoy the action from the shore by hanging out at the docks.

Are you looking for an exciting outdoor activity? Try parasailing over the clear waters of Laguna Madre Bay and enjoy a panoramic view of South Padre Island. Parrot Eyes, the only provider on the island that can handle large groups of up to 30 people, offers single, double, and triple flights. Try a professionally guided jet ski tour if you want a thrilling adventure on the water. You'll see sights others don't, and with the most extended tour on SPI, you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the ride. Parrot Eyes offers other water activities like kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, banana boat rides, and sunset dolphin watching. Parrot Eyes provides the best private inshore bay fishing trips for those who love fishing.
