Redfish and sheep head are biting in South Padre Island; Do you wanna get in on this bite? Book a trip and let's go fishing. We're catching multiple oversize reds anywhere from 28 inches to 40.

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.

48" Bull red caught on a live mullet of ICW drop off by the shacks in Arroyo City Tx. Using light tackle 3000 shimano Sahara with a 7' rod light medium action. Took close to 25 minutes to bring in this big boy. Safely released to fight another day.

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 morning; we shot all of our pintails and redheads. They're going to shoot the rocket off this afternoon at 4

Josh and I had an awesome afternoon hunt with this big cold front that came in. There are ducks absolutely everywhere - big flocks of redheads, shovelers, pintails, and blue bills. The tides have been a little struggle, but my Mud Boat is running really well and I can get to shallow water everywhere now. If you would like to book a hunt, give me a call. I have just a few dates left open.

    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.

    We had a nice morning fishing the bay with Augustin! Not many fish wanted to be caught, but our guide tried very hard to get us on 'em! Bonus was a side trip to see Space X from the water and some dolphin play! Highly recommend.
