Meet Captain Frank Neill

Capt. Frank Neill is the owner and operator of Fish Tank Charters, where his lifelong passion for fishing has become a rewarding career helping others experience the excitement of the Texas Gulf Coast. His love for fishing began decades ago, spending countless days on the water learning the habits of inshore game fish and developing the patience and instincts that only come with experience. After years of fishing recreationally, he earned his captain's license in 2018 to share his knowledge with anglers of all ages and skill levels. Today, as a trusted Port Aransas fishing guide, Capt. Frank is known for creating fun, relaxed, and memorable adventures for families, friends, and first-time fishermen alike.

Although Capt. Frank built his foundation by fishing coastal waters since 1999, he now brings that extensive experience to the productive bays and flats of Port Aransas, Texas. Every trip is carefully planned around tides, weather, and seasonal fish movements to give guests the best opportunity to catch Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Black Drum. Safety is always a top priority, and Capt. Frank provides quality fishing equipment, expert instruction, and a welcoming environment that makes every trip enjoyable. Whether you're searching for an experienced Port Aransas fishing guide or family-friendly fishing charters in Port Aransas, you'll appreciate his personalized approach and commitment to exceptional customer service.

What truly sets Capt. Frank apart is his passion for teaching and helping others succeed on the water. One of his favorite moments is watching first-time anglers reel in their very first fish, creating memories they'll never forget. He enjoys sharing local fishing techniques, educating guests about the area's unique ecosystem, and promoting responsible fishing practices that help preserve the Texas Gulf Coast for future generations. His patience, professionalism, and dedication to every guest have earned him a reputation for delivering personalized fishing adventures rather than simply running another charter. While Fish Tank Charters specializes in inshore fishing, Capt. Frank is also happy to share local knowledge about the broader Texas Gulf Coast fishery with guests interested in exploring everything the area has to offer.
