About Your Trip

A "Twilight Special" in golf means a discounted price to play until the sun goes down. Same thing here! Just have time to sneak out for a few hours fishing? Want to fish but can't quite swing the price for a 1/2 day or full day trip? Have new fishermen? This trip fits the bill. Time is money so we've knocked to the price down for these 3 to 3.5 hour trips. June 1-September 15. This gives plenty time for some great evening fishing, catch a sunset on the water and enjoy the relaxation of fewer boats on the water that time of day. Redfish, Speckled Trout and Snook are the targeted species.

About Your Guide

Glenn H.

Independent Guide

My name is Glenn and I have the privilege of fishing the Lower Laguna Madre out of South Padre Island, Texas.

I am now at the tender age of 56. I have been a captain for over three decades but started fishing and hunting when I was too young to remember. As one grows in their passion and their passion becomes an obsession, fishing can consume your life or it can become your life. One natural extension is to want to share what they know with others along with the joy that it brings them. This is why I guide.

We are fortunate to live on the water here on South Padre Island. My clients meet and depart from our home. I run a 24 foot, tunnel-hull Shallow Master for conventional trips along with a Maverick skiff for fly and conventional sight casting. Both are outstanding fishing platforms to cover the largest area of contiguous saltwater flats in the world.

Whether first time clients or returning friends, I look forward to a fun, educational and productive day on the water each time we venture out.

In every fishery, there are a handful of guides that you would want to fish with if you got the chance. For South Padre Island, I try to be one of those. What I mean is, being a genuine waterman, not just a fisherman, the right amount of saltiness portrayed through joy at the little things. Going the extra mile, fishing a little longer than the time you booked...

When not hunting or fishing, I can usually be found on the deck of a sailboat racing regattas all over the country. Along with Stefani, my wife of 27 years (she owns and operates Sisters Interiors, an SPI shopping company), and we have two grown sons who are outstanding outdoorsmen in their own right. Both are married to wonderful women and our first grandchild on the way in March 2025.

Long story short, after a day of fishing with me you're going to want to come do it again. You will have had good fun learning, catching fish, laughing, and have a story or two to tell along with pictures to prove it!

How did you get started guiding?

I have always loved hunting, fishing & sharing the things I love with others.

What makes you different from other guides?

Even after three decades of doing this, I get excited before every trip. I look forward to meeting new friends or visiting with long time clients to catch up. Taking others to share the incredible things I get to see every day is a something I never take for granted. If I was coming to South Padre Island I would want to fish or hunt ducks with me. We'll laugh, learn, catch a fish or shoot a duck and shake hands as new friends when we part.

I had a great time fishing with Glenn. My first time fly-fishing salt water, and he was a great coach. The weather was great, his boat and equipment were excellent, and I highly recommend him for Laguna Madre. I will be back!

We did a cast and blast trip with Glenn, and from start to finish it was an incredible experience. It was my first time duck hunting, and Glenn made the entire day feel effortless. He’s one of the most genuine, down to earth people you’ll meet, and he really knows his stuff.

On the fishing side, he put us on the fish immediately. We limited out on trout, picked up some reds, and even caught a flounder we had to release. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip feel smooth and enjoyable.

And the duck hunting… I haven’t had that much fun in a long time. It was relaxing, exciting, and just an unforgettable experience. The birds were on today, and we knocked down a limit within the first 10–15 minutes. I’d never seen so many ducks up close.. hearing them land and work the decoys was something I’ll never forget.

The whole time, we felt guided, taken care of, and genuinely welcomed. We had great conversations, plenty of laughs, and just an all-around amazing time.

Thanks again, Glenn. We’ll be seeing you again in a few weeks. 10/10 highly recommended.
