The bay fishing has been good recently. Catching some solid speckled trout in deeper water. Larger lures and soft plastics that resemble larger bait fish are producing some hard strikes. The redfishing has remained good throughout the past couple of months. Except one week when we received a crazy amount...

The bay fishing has been good recently. Catching some solid speckled trout in deeper water. Larger lures and soft plastics that resemble larger bait fish are producing some hard strikes. The redfishing has remained good throughout the past couple of months. Except one week when we received a crazy amount of rain. The fishing has stabilized since that rain storm. Both soft plastics and fresh cut bait have remained good choices for redfish. Shrimp and mullet colored worms are working for me. Expect the trout bite too only get better through out the next couple of weeks.

    I had a great time fishing with Glenn. My first time fly-fishing salt water, and he was a great coach. The weather was great, his boat and equipment were excellent, and I highly recommend him for Laguna Madre. I will be back!

    Trip: Fly Fish For Redfish

  • ★★★★★
    We enjoyed our fishing time with Captain Ron.He has a great amount of knowledge of the bay, so much so we began catching trout with the first cast and caught our limit within a very short time. Although we are experiencing high gas prices right now, there was no hesitation on Captain Ron's part to get where we needed to go to catch fish. We found Captain Ron very pleasant to be with and always willing to share his knowledge of fishing. We look forward to another fishing trip with him as soon as we can.
