My name is Glenn and I have the privilege of fishing the Lower Laguna Madre out of South Padre Island, Texas.

I am now at the tender age of 56. I have been a captain for over three decades but started fishing and hunting when I was too young to remember. As one grows in their passion and their passion becomes an obsession, fishing can consume your life or it can become your life. One natural extension is to want to share what they know with others along with the joy that it brings them. This is why I guide.

We are fortunate to live on the water here on South Padre Island. My clients meet and depart from our home. I run a 24 foot, tunnel-hull Shallow Master for conventional trips along with a Maverick skiff for fly and conventional sight casting. Both are outstanding fishing platforms to cover the largest area of contiguous saltwater flats in the world.

Whether first time clients or returning friends, I look forward to a fun, educational and productive day on the water...

each time we venture out.

In every fishery, there are a handful of guides that you would want to fish with if you got the chance. For South Padre Island, I try to be one of those. What I mean is, being a genuine waterman, not just a fisherman, the right amount of saltiness portrayed through joy at the little things. Going the extra mile, fishing a little longer than the time you booked...

When not hunting or fishing, I can usually be found on the deck of a sailboat racing regattas all over the country. Along with Stefani, my wife of 27 years (she owns and operates Sisters Interiors, an SPI shopping company), and we have two grown sons who are outstanding outdoorsmen in their own right. Both are married to wonderful women and our first grandchild on the way in March 2025.

Long story short, after a day of fishing with me you're going to want to come do it again. You will have had good fun learning, catching fish, laughing, and have a story or two to tell along with pictures to prove it!

How did you get started guiding?
I have always loved hunting, fishing & sharing the things I love with others.
What makes you different from other guides?
Even after three decades of doing this, I get excited before every trip. I look forward to meeting new friends or visiting with long time clients to catch up. Taking others to share the incredible things I get to see every day is a something I never take for granted. If I was coming to South Padre Island I would want to fish or hunt ducks with me. We'll laugh, learn, catch a fish or shoot a duck and shake hands as new friends when we part.
