My wife and I took off this morning a little later than we usually head out, we went looking for mangrove snapper. a delicious eating fish that are very numerous down here in South Padre Island I didn’t take very good pictures, but we caught anywhere from 25 to 30 of them in a couple hours on live shrimp. This is a fantastic trip for kids or adults that just wanna catch lots of fish .

With the high waters that we've had for the last week Friday and a lot of baked fish from offshore. All the big predators are following the bait fish into the bay big oversize redfish, big trout you got a key on you have the key on it's easy. Over 30 years experience as a guide I make all the other guides look bad

Fishing continues to be good. Redfish are starting to show up on the flats in herds. Trout continue to be biting well. If you can get out on a day that the wind is light they fishing has been awesome.

The bay fishing throughout the past week has been a little tougher due to the heavy rains. Still catching speckled trout on both live and artificial baits. Larger soft plastics in natural mullet colors have been more productive. Try to find some baitfish and the larger fish should be in close proximity. Deeper water has also been yielding some larger redfish. The shallow grass flats are active towards the north end of the bay. Seeing some black drum on the calmer days. Should get better as the fresh water works its way out of the bay.

    My Dad and I had a great day of fishing. Although there was rain around Captain Romey was able to put us on some fish while avoiding the rain. We were fortunate enough to land a 40 inch Red on light tackle which was the CHERRY on top of this day.

    Jerry was on time and ready to go. He asked what we wanted to accomplish on the trip, was friendly, funny, and very professional. We caught a limit in two and half hours with the largest red fish 29 1/2 inches. This guy knows what he is doing and does it well.

    Our day with Cliff was great. Our group was two dads with 2 seven year olds. The kids had the best time. They each caught a few fish and he was incredibly patient and kind with them as they learned. We will be back.
