About Your Trip

Join Captain Walter for a great day exploring the local waters!

On this action-packed adventure, you can expect to reel in some Black Drum and some Bull Redfish. These two species will put up a good fight, so be prepared. Make sure you give those hamstrings a little stretch before you hit the water. You might also run into Mangrove Snappers, Sheepshead, Snook, Fluke, and Spotted Seatrout.

For these trips, Captain Walter uses a 25’ Majek Illusion boat - a spacious vessel that can accommodate up to 6 anglers.

Captain Walter will provide rods and tackle as well as drinks. You can purchase live bait for an additional fee. Other than that, make sure you bring a valid Texas Fishing License and any food and drink of your choice.

Let your mind escape from daily responsibilities and just have fun fishing with Captain Walter!

We had a great time! He put us on trout first thing. We ran out of bait, but not his fault.
He worked hard to put us on red fish, but we just didn’t find them.
My wife was thrilled at the whole experience and loved catching fish, even hard heads!

Walter was amazing. I had four boys and me on the trip. The two younger boys (10) were pretty high maintenance and he was so patient and kind to them. The two older boys were less hands-on. We had a great conversation, laughed a lot. He went above and beyond for us. We even got to meet his wife who was super responsive and helpful. When we return, we will definitely take another trip....

Captain Walter knew the spot, got us there early and we pulled in our limit. My kids caught their first fish ever and my wife caught two seagulls...thats a crazy story but Captain Walter knew exactly what to do. My favorite part was we were pulling trout up every time our hook hit the water and other guides started to notice and tried getting to where we were.

Capt Walter was an all around good guy. Took my son and I on a fishing trip in June of 2021. Didn?t have a ton of luck (got 3 total - 2 keepers), but it?s called fishing - not killing!Â We had a good time. Capt Walter was patient with my son and had him fishing like a pro in no time. Hit a lot of spots and worked it hard. I wouldn?t hesitate to use...

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.
