Trophy Fish Caught

The waters of the Lower Laguna Madre continue to produce impressive results for our guests. We have seen a significant increase in the size of our recent catches, with several trophy fish hitting the deck this season. Our clients have been particularly successful targeting oversized redfish that put up a serious fight, alongside healthy, aggressive speckled trout. Whether we are targeting these heavy hitters on artificial lures or using fresh bait, the current conditions in the bay are perfect for landing a personal best. Seeing these high-quality fish come to the boat is a testament to the health of the local ecosystem and the effectiveness of our current guiding tactics.
