Captin Gus has lived back and forth from Colorado to South Texas my entire life. His father moved to the island when Gus was a boy and taught him the ins and outs of the bay every summer throughout his childhood. Together they spent countless hours finding potholes full of trout and sand flats littered with redfish. His father instilled in him a fierce passion for the outdoors and planted the seeds for him to pursue a career chasing the critters he has come to love and respect.
With the help of some local legends including forty year veteran Capt. Skipper Ray, Gus has honed his skills as a fisherman and professional guide fishing the Lower Laguna Madre. But for him the bay still provides an incredible environment to learn and grow. Every day he finds new places to fish and duck hunt and he welcomes you to join him on one of these incredible adventures!
