About Your Trip

Come and experience the Lower Laguna Made (LLM) like never before. The LLM is a bay system that has an average depth of 1 foot of crystal clear water. It offers great fishing for Speckled trout, Redfish, Flounder, Snook, and Black drum. Whether it's artificial, bait, or sight casting for Reds or Trout, you will want to come back for more.

Make sure to bring a valid Texas Fishing License as well as food and drinks of your choice. Other than that, Captain Ruben will provide the rest. He will provide all lures, rods, reels, tackle, and fishing knowledge to get you hooked into the fish!

Bring your kids or your angling buddies and head out to a fishing adventure to remember with Captain Ruben!

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.
