About Your Trip

Come fly fish for redfish in the legendary waters of the Laguna Madre, from South Padre Island north to Port Mansfield and the Land Cut! Captain Andrew specializes in providing custom fly-fishing experiences tailored specifically for targeting redfish in these pristine, shallow waters.

With years of experience and an intimate knowledge of the local fishery, Captain Andrew welcomes both seasoned anglers and beginners alike. Whether you're an expert with a fly rod or prefer spinning gear, he’s here to guide you to success—and if you’re looking for coaching, he’s happy to offer tips along the way.

Fishing in the Laguna Madre and Arroyo City isn’t just about the catch—it’s about the experience. Expect breathtaking sunrises, stunning wildlife encounters, and, of course, plenty of redfish.

Captain Andrew provides all the necessary gear for a successful day on the water, including high-quality fly-fishing equipment and custom-tied flies. You'll be fishing from a Hell’s Bay Guide Skiff, the ideal platform for stalking redfish in shallow flats. Tips on casting and spotting redfish will come naturally throughout the trip, ensuring you leave a better angler than when you arrived.

Every angler has their own preferences, and Captain Andrew customizes each trip to match your goals. Whether you want to wade the skinny waters or pole through the flats, the focus is always on sight-casting to redfish.

As a strong advocate for the health of the fishery, Captain Andrew promotes catch-and-release practices to help sustain South Texas' incredible redfish population. Recent freezes and environmental changes have reminded us how precious these fisheries are, and every released redfish helps ensure future generations can enjoy them.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s go fishing!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 2,000+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

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, bait, 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.
