As a lifelong outdoorsman, native Texan and Fightin' Texas Aggie, I combine my decades of knowledge and sense of humor to create memorable days on the water. Using artificial lures on light tackle or fly fishing, the Lower Laguna Madre / South Padre Island area is the playground.
The lower Laguna Madre is the largest area of contiguous saltwater flats in the world. I run a 24 foot tunnel hull for standard light tackle trips and a Maverick skiff for fly fishing.
All equipment is provided as is ice and waters. More experienced anglers are welcome to bring their own equipment and anglers are encouraged to bring whatever they want to eat / drink for the day.
Each trip is tailored to the skill level and desired outcomes of those who fish with me.
I love teaching novice anglers and children as well as helping professional level anglers have the chance at the fish of a lifetime.
Species caught daily are Speckled Trout, Redfish,, Snook and Flounder. Seasonally there are opportunities for Tarpon, Kingfish, Triple Tail, Mangrove Snapper, Black Drum, Sheephead and Jack Crevalle.
My 24 foot tunnel hull will carry Up to eight passengers for dolphin watch, fireworks cruises or rocket launch viewing at Space-X. From a fishing standpoint, five passengers is the maximum that is practical. Fly fishing trips on the Maverick are a maximum of two passengers..
South Padre Island is the best beach in Texas and serves as an oasis, safe from our current border crisis issue.

Light tackle with artificials
Fly Fishing
Kid / family trips (swimming, dolphin watch, teach kids to run the boat, reclusive beach access, fishing, Space-X / rocket views).
