This is your Captain speaking! Thank you for choosing me as your guide on the beautiful Laguna Madre. I’m dedicated to ensuring you have a blast, and with some luck, we’ll hook some fish! Fishing isn’t a sure thing—conditions shift fast, but we’ll adapt and keep hammering until we find the bite. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share this adventure with you. God bless, and I hope you love your time on the island!...

Rey knew the best spots to fish and we caught a lot of nice keepers. He was great with my two sons and would recommend using his guiding expertise again myself.
