About Your Trip

Looking for a light tackle sportfishing specialist in South Padre Island? There's no better choice than Captain Lloyd! His trips are a blast for both beginners and experienced anglers, and are a great way to enjoy the Texas coast and all the great fishing it offers.

On this trip, you'll use variety of tackle and techniques, including both live bait and artificial lures, to chase Speckled Trout and Redfish! These classic Texas sportfish are fun
fighters, and they're great eating as well. Captain Lloyd is happy to clean and bag your keepers, so bring along a cooler to take your fish home.

You'll be fishing aboard Captain Lloyd's 20' Dargel Skout. Lloyd used to work for Dargel Boats, and he knows this vessel inside-out. She's an ideal boat for motoring around the bay, and has a shallow draft to get you into the inshore waters and flats where big fish like to hang out.

Captain Lloyd will supply everything you need for an awesome trip, including rods, reels, bait and tackle! All you need to bring along is sunscreen, your Texas Fishing License, and proper clothing fo the weather. Get out there and have a blast!
