First week of aug. fishing the shrimpboats were dragging in 50 fathom. Too many bonita to get a bite from a blackfin tuna so we pulled the hooks off the lures. Everything was working great. Wait for the blackfin, stop throw bait. Started trolling again theres the bonita then the blackfin then out of nowhere 3 of the biggest Yellowfin tuna came up and pushed everything out of the way. I ran downstairs and grabbed the biggest reel and bait we had. Instant hook up. 4 hours later in the boat. 215 pound yellowfin tuna.

On days off we still fish!! We went down the beach with family and friends on Saturday in hopes of seeing a big tiger and we did just that! When the rod slacked up and started to slow roll I immediately turned to one of my clients who happened to be in town on a job and was hanging out with us! Him and his crew have been on many trips with me but they’ve been plagued by blacktips and bulls so this was the fish he’s been after! Kevin did a great job fighting this fish from the harness from start to finish and made quick work of her! Once on the beach we were able to get a quick measurement and taped her out at 12’2”, an absolute beast of a tiger!!

Hunting here in South Padre Island has been really good after the cold front came through. Jason and Kaeden are excellent shots, and we were picking out the biggest Spragues this morning. We had multiple pintails land in the decoys, and we let them fly off looking for trophies this...

Trip: Laguna Half Day Run
★★★★★
We had the most wonderful experience with Captain Marc (and Brenda). My son and I went on a half-day excursion in Novemeber during our Thanksgiving trip and it was such a great bonding time for the two of us. Captain Marc is super generous, knowledgable and patient. We highly recommend him and his fishing guidance:). My son was particularly excited about having his trout cleaned and getting to serve it to us that evening. All around A+.

We did a cast and blast trip with Glenn, and from start to finish it was an incredible experience. It was my first time duck hunting, and Glenn made the entire day feel effortless. He’s one of the most genuine, down to earth people you’ll meet, and he really knows his stuff. On the fishing side, he put us on the fish immediately. We limited out on trout, picked up some reds, and even caught a flounder we had to release. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip feel smooth and enjoyable. And the duck hunting… I haven’t had that much fun in a long time. It was relaxing, exciting, and just an unforgettable experience. The birds were on today, and we knocked down a limit within the first 10–15 minutes. I’d never seen so many ducks up close.. hearing them land and work the decoys was something I’ll never forget. The whole time, we felt guided, taken care of, and genuinely welcomed. We had great conversations, plenty of laughs, and just an all-around amazing time. Thanks again, Glenn. We’ll be seeing you again in a few weeks. 10/10 highly recommended.
