Captain Gary Farmer
The golden Texan sun shining down as you hook up hard-fighting Redfish and Trout one after another, in the stunning nature of South Padre Island. A dream? Not with Captain Gary. This is his reality, and it can be yours too!
Captain Gary Farmer invites you to join him on board his 24’ flats. It was made by Carolina Skiff in 2021 you won’t miss any modern amenities. Feel free to bring your family or fishing buddies with you, it can hold 6 anglers at the same time.
Speaking of bites, Capt. Gary will put you on top of the hottest around. You’ll go after Redfish, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and other species. In the mood to test your fishing muscles? You can hook up Jack Crevalle and feel the burn as you battle it out of the water.
The fishery is close to the dock, you’ll be on top of it within 30 minutes of casting off. Kids of all ages are more than welcome on board with Angler’s Choice Guide Service – getting young anglers hooked on saltwater fishing is a great joy for Capt. Gary. Live bait is prepared in advance before you arrive. If you’re on S.P.I. then you’re in luck – Capt. Gary can also launch from There!
You can have your catch cleaned and filleted at the dock, there’s a fillet master there who’ll take of your catch: $3 for each Trout and $4 for each Redfish or Drum.
If you’re ready for a fishing adventure you’ll remember for years to come, book a trip with Angler’s Choice Guide Service and get ready to reel ‘em in!

Great fishing with Capt Gary
We were on fish the very first stop ( and cast). Very knowledgeable about the area and where the fish are hiding. Did a great job of varying up the technique. ( casting, popping, live bait & lures). I have fished the laguna for may years and Gary is a top notch guide.

Great trip Captain Gary
We had an enjoyable outing with Captain Gary. We enjoy fishing but don’t get to do it often. He was very patient and gave us all the instruction we needed and found some good spots to fish. My son had eaten something the night before that had made him sick in the morning and Captain Gary brought him back to the dock so he could drive back to the condo and took us back out to continue fishing. We caught enough trout for 2 big meals on a shortened outing. I highly recommend Captain Gary.
