This listing is for a $100 physical gift certificate from Port Aransas Fisherman’s Wharf, valid for two adults on a 6-hour offshore fishing trip during the current 2026 Federal Red Snapper Season. Officially issued by a representative from the Port Aransas Tourism Bureau, this generic bearer certificate features a unique booking promo code, making it 100% transferable with no specific name attached. Because the highly regulated snapper season is booking up fast, the seller will immediately message a high-resolution, unblurred photo of the code upon payment so the buyer can book online or by phone right away without waiting for the mail. To ensure total peace of mind and complete buyer protection, payment will be processed strictly through PayPal Goods and Services. Once payment clears, the digital code will be sent instantly for immediate booking, and the physical paper certificate will promptly be mailed out with tracking included. Interested buyers are asked to comment on the post before sending a direct message with any questions.

I'm looking into doing some offshore trips possibly solo. Can anyone recommend a good personal locator beacon (PLB)? The ACR ResQLink AIS mounts inside a type 5 PFD so it auto-deploys if the jacket inflates, in case you are knocked unconscious, but is hard to set up and feels overkill. The ResQLink View RLS just uses a clip to your PFD but shows when a message was received (but no AIS). Curious what people would recommend. I also have a waterproof VHS in a fanny pack with GPS and MMSI registered. Thanks!

As far as I can tell, there are no wires attached to it. None of the rod holders or accessories that came with the boat fit the threads.
