If you'v been hunting for an epic shallow-water adventure on the Texas Gulf Coast, Captain Andy is your man. He loves fishing that "skinny" water and is an expert when it comes to hooking fish. When you're out in the marsh with Andy, you'll be focused on two Texas classics: Redfish and Flounder. These fish are totally different, and require different approaches depending on the conditions and the time of year. In late summer, the Redfish move back into shallow water marshes, where they can munch on shad and finger mullet as they prepare for their spawn in late fall. The fish get super aggressive during this time of year, and will bite on a variety of baits and lures. Captain Andy runs his trips aboard a 19' Excel F4 Shallow Water Series. She's a badass boat that's built for shallow-water fishing, with an ultra-shallow draft, bow and stern lights for night trips, coolers, a wireless trolling motor, and equipped with a Gator-Tail XD series air cooled mud motor. In order to provide attention to each of his clients, Andy limits his trips to 3 people, not including himself. This gives everyone room to fish and him room to pole, rig terminal tackle, bait hooks, and so on. Captain Andy will provide everything you need for a truly memorable trip, including all the rods, reels, tackle, and other gear. All you need to bring is sun protection, proper clothing, a pair of sunglasses to cut glare, and your Texas fishing licenses.
