Eddie Garrett Alba, Texas Reported: 1 day ago

ater level is- 1.66 below pool and surface temps are 44 to 47 degrees. January is a hard month with cold water temps and colder temps coming this week. Jigs, A- rigs and drop shot are good choices. February the bass with start their transaction to their shallower pre spawn staging areas. Now is time to book your pre spawn and spawn dates. Should be a good Spring! Would like to earn your business and maybe catch your personal best bass.

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...

Fishing has remained great. Drum have been steady with the old weather and when the temperatures warm up the trout bite is pretty solid. Reds have been mixed in.

Winter patterns are holding great, lots of black drum and redfish holding close to shorelines. Most catches have been caught on shrimp. We've had several trips this past weekend that have caught limits!

Captain Corey was awesome, I definitely recommend using him as a guide! He communicated well before the trip, and morning of. He has a calm demeanor, easy to talk to. He knows good spots, put us on the fish right before a storm. Great trip.

Larry was an absolute rock star!! My previous reservation fell through with another company and he gladly cleared his schedule to take my son and I on our first inshore fishing trip. Lots of fun, education and fish activity. We will definitely be booking with him again.

My buddy and I went on a half day inshore fishing trip with Capt Fred in May, in the Laguna Madre and had a really great time! Fred was punctual, professional, knew his business very well, found us good Redfidh and Trout and was very enjoyable company too! Highly recommend Cpt. Fred and Cpt Experiences.

A very challenging morning for Dawson and crew with freezing rain, snow, sleet, 30 to 32 degree temps, fog and they still managed to make it a fun experience for all of us hunters with them on Jan. 9, 2025. Birds stayed roosted til around 10:00 but then came in bringing some action which was fun and then entertaining to watch the crew chase down the downed birds in the slick clay mud! 🤣 7 birds on a day like that was pretty great in my book!

I had a wonderful experience hunting with Dawson and his crew on Wednesday January 8, 2025! We saw lots of birds, had 7 shot opportunities called if my memory is correct with anywhere from a lone bird to maybe 30 or 40 coming in. The total taken that morning was 21. Good action and enough for everyone to take some home! Also a nice bunch of friendly guys, hunters and crew included! Again, a very fun day!!

We had an awesome time hunting with Brice. We arrived a little early and crashed at his lodge on the property. The lodge was super spacious with enough beds to sleep an army, full kitchen, mud room, porch with a fire pit, the works. Brice drove us out to our blinds for our afternoon hog hunt and the hunt did not disappoint. We all downed nice hogs and each saw plenty. Thanks Brice for the great hunt and full freezers! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences
