My name is Captain Cliff. 1974 was the year I began fishing the Lower Laguna Madre as a 7th grader I learned to fish in East Texas before that freshwater. One of my best teachers was Wade Dunkin from Harlingen Texas. My first hunting and fishing job was from Harlingen National Bank Dial Dunkin and Associates where we fished and deep south Texas Northern Mexico . Those guys were pros and they just brought me along I got lucky but I love to teach other people to fish I love kids and people that's kind of how I got my start .

I love cooking and catching fish, fishing is in my blood and I love to teach others how to fish. Whether you're a seasoned angler, a vacationer looking to experience prime South Texas fishing, or a beginner, fishing the bountiful Texan waters with Captain Cliff is an adventure you'll never forget. The captain is a six-pack charter captain with a US Coast Guard license and decades of angling experience. His targeted species are Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Mangrove Snapper, Black Drum, Tarpon, Snook, Ladyfish, Spanish Mackerel, Kingfish, Cobia, Croaker, Whiting, Shark, and Mullet. Other specialties from the Brownsville Ship Channel such as Lookdown Fish, Filefish, and other unique species are in the cards too.

Our day with Cliff was great. Our group was two dads with 2 seven year olds. The kids had the best time. They each caught a few fish and he was incredibly patient and kind with them as they learned. We will be back.
