About Your Trip

Looking for a light tackle sportfishing specialist in South Padre Island? There's no better choice than Captain Lloyd! His trips are a blast for both beginners and experienced anglers, and are a great way to enjoy the Texas coast and all the great fishing it offers.

On this trip, you'll use variety of tackle and techniques, including both live bait and artificial lures, to chase Speckled Trout and Redfish! These classic Texas sportfish are fun fighters, and they're great eating as well. Captain Lloyd is happy to clean and bag your keepers, so bring along a cooler to take your fish home.

You'll be fishing aboard Captain Lloyd's 20' Dargel Skout. Lloyd used to work for Dargel Boats, and he knows this vessel inside-out. She's an ideal boat for motoring around the bay, and has a shallow draft to get you into the inshore waters and flats where big fish like to hang out.

Captain Lloyd will supply everything you need for an awesome trip, including rods, reels, bait and tackle! All you need to bring along is sunscreen, your Texas Fishing License, and proper clothing fo the weather. Get out there and have a blast!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
