The big girls are starting to show up in the Upper Laguna Madre and Baffin Bay. We’ve been doing really well on Speckled Trout up to 27" on artificials. Now through March is the time to catch a fish of a lifetime!

Captain Jay is absolutely amazing! My husband and I just got home from our 5hr trip and we couldn’t be more pleased. Jay is informative, funny, and makes you feel incredibly comfortable on the water. His vast knowledge of fishing left us with new techniques that we’ll be able to use from here on out. If you’re looking for a stellar guide for you or your family/friends, don’t look any further. Jay is definitely your guy. We will absolutely book with him again! -Anna and Cian
