About Your Trip

My name is Andres Spinetti, and I am a full time fly fishing guide out out of the LLM. I have a passion for fly casting and the LLM fishery. Our fishing day will be aboard my Chittum LM2, skiff pursuing Redfish & Trout mainly. I am a Hardy Pro Angler and as a result i get to provide hardy rods and reels to my clients, I do also have a few upper end spin and baitcasting rods if preferred. Aside from the fishing, I also provide my photography to make sure you have quality pictures for bragging rights. My knowledge of fly casting also provides me an edge as your guide, in terms of being able to coach you on casting if needed.

We can launch out of South Padre, Port Mansfield, or Arroyo City. Depending on fishing conditions.

**If you can, I recommend practicing your casting a few days leading up to our trip, helps alot more than you'd think**

Bringing your own gear is welcome. Light tackle, 6,7,8,9wt Fly rods, Polarized Sunglasses.

Water & Ice Provided

Our day looks like:

Meet at the ramp at predetermined hour, first ride normally takes about an hour, fish hard, get home between 2-4pm on a full day depending on the start, 12pm on a half day.

Quality

I am passionate about fishing the LLM, fly casting, and *trying to* take big trout with a fly rod. I also have a podcast called the laguna podcast that has helped me meet a lot of people and have conversations that evolve my view of the fishery. When I am on the water, I spend a good portion of it behind the camera as well, and have been fortunate enough to take some neat pictures....

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
