My buddy and I went on a half day inshore fishing trip with Capt Fred in May, in the Laguna Madre and had a really great time! Fred was punctual, professional, knew his business very well, found us good Redfidh and Trout and was very enjoyable company too! Highly recommend Cpt. Fred and Cpt Experiences.

We had a good time with Fred. He worked hard trying to get us onto keepable fish. He was accommodating and we had a nice time.
