About Your Guide

Joaquin Pena

Independent Guide 13 years of exp.
Captain Joaquin grew up fishing with his family and friends from an early age. It quickly became his passion, and soon he was off on the water by himself.

He attributes his time fishing to his patience, persistence, and analytical mindset which coincidentally are some of the reasons he makes such a great guide. Captain Joaquin is a well seasoned fisherman, and is eager to teach the knowledge he's acquired over a lifetime of fishing nearly every day.

Whether you're looking for a family trip, a personal trip, first time trip, or millionth time trip, Captain Joaquin is your guy.

We had a great time fishing with you. We didn't catch as many as we would have liked, but my sons had a great time with you. We look forward to our next trip with you.

He told great stories, was clear about his rules (on a boat with no sides). He was hilarious with a great sense of humor. We got 4 fish (2 trout and 2 Reds) but they were the biggest fish we caught in SoPadre! I highly recommend Capt Joaquin!
