Tuna just now showing up, but it's still hard to predict, same as sails and dorado, we focus on the amberjack, and other target species that are still in season, such as swordfish, and Mangrove, vermillion snapper, always hope for the fish of a lifetime! Looking to book for some overnight trips for yellowfin and marlin 100+ miles offshore.

fishing the upper Laguna Madre has been good, finally our winds have been cooperating and in return fishing has been really good. I have been wading and fishing out of the boat for Speckled Trout and Red fish, wether you are through in live bait or lures the bite has been good in the early morning either on the beach front or the bays. We finally got a little rain and the salinity levels dropped which will help the future bite. For live bait we have been using live Crocker and piggy pearch, the lure have been either down south...

We finally got a little rain and the salinity levels dropped which will help the future bite. For live bait we have been using live Crocker and piggy pearch, the lure have been either down south or gulps with sent, I started using a different retrieve this year and it's been amazing to see the difference, just cast and reel like you would a spoon, bounce it off the bottom above the grass and if they are there, they will hit it. With live bait, we have been anchored off the shoreline we're the water color changes, fish the color change, that's were the fish have been, good luck and tight lines,
Fishing is heating up here on our beautiful Laguna Madre! Corpus Christi Texas's bay system hosts one of the biggest bull red migrations. Beginning now and moving into the late fall and early winter, schools are starting to move on the flats that border deeper water on their movement out to the Gulf of Mexico.
Nice sized trout are being caught on grass lines that border deep drop offs and we are catching good numbers of redfish and trout on the flats with plastic lures and spoons.
Fishing should only get better as we head into the fall months!

The winds are not the problem, it is the salinity in the water that is causing it to be difficult to find fish, salinity is 3 x's what it should be due to the lack of fresh water.

We went two mornings with Joshua. He was very patient and helpful. Always friendly and talking. Although we did not catch any keeper fish, he tried very hard.
Captain Ronnie was great! Although we didn’t catch our limits we did catch some red. I caught a gar, and my wife took home the pride of catching the most and the biggest.
All in all, I would for sure recommend Captain Ronnie, he was personable, kind and wanted us to catch fish so he stayed out a little longer than he had to for us to catch. We did, and I’m grateful because this was a birthday gift for my wife. She had a great time. I didn’t have any pictures of her with her catches. The sunrise was what dreams are made of. The picture doesn’t do it justice…it was beautiful!
Danny was great, On time and ready to go as soon as we arrived to wharf! We enjoyed every part and Danny was very knowledgeable and helpful with us.
Most of our first times being deep sea. Highly recommend!!!
Very much enjoyed the trip. Caught several reds and 4 were keepers. Learned an great deal from Capt Travis about fishing in these waters. It was information I can use on my next trip out. Thanks Travis.
