About Your Trip
Join Captain J for an exciting inshore and nearshore fishing adventure exploring the world-famous Lower Laguna Madre. Aboard a 22' Lake and Bay center console powered by a Mercury 300 outboard, this trip delivers a smooth, fast ride and excellent access to some of the most productive waters on the Texas coast. The boat comfortably accommodates 2 to 3 anglers, making it a great option for small groups looking for a personalized and hands-on fishing
experience.
From the shallow flats and winding channels of the Laguna Madre to the nearshore waters around the jetties, this trip offers a diverse range of fishing opportunities throughout the day. Inshore, you will be targeting classic Texas favorites including Redfish, Speckled Seatrout, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and Flounder. These species thrive in the shallow, nutrient-rich waters of the bay system and provide steady action along with excellent table fare.
Depending on conditions and movement of bait, the trip may also extend toward the jetties and nearshore waters where trolling techniques are used to target King Mackerel. These fast-moving predators are known for their powerful runs and exciting strikes, adding a high-energy offshore element to an otherwise calm and scenic bay fishing experience.
Captain J provides all fishing equipment and bait needed for the day, ensuring a simple and hassle-free experience from start to finish. Guests are only responsible for bringing a valid Texas saltwater fishing license along with their choice of food and drinks for the trip.
A variety of techniques may be used depending on conditions, including light tackle presentations on the flats, bottom fishing in deeper channels, and trolling near structure when targeting King Mackerel. Captain J adjusts the approach throughout the day to match the tides, weather, and fish behavior, helping maximize your chances of steady action.
This trip is ideal for small groups who want a relaxed but productive day on the water, with the flexibility to explore both inshore bay systems and nearby coastal waters. Whether you are an experienced angler or new to fishing in the Laguna Madre, Captain J ensures a comfortable, enjoyable, and engaging experience tailored to your group.
Join Captain J for a Lower Laguna Madre fishing trip where calm bay waters, diverse species, and nearshore action come together for a well-rounded and memorable day on the Texas coast.
