Over 50 years of fishing experience in local waters. Team up with Captain Cliff Fleming of Crystal Flats Guide Service for an inshore angling adventure you’ll want to repeat! With a guide that has over 4 decades of experience and knows all the hideouts and tricks of the fish, you’re in for a thrilling day on the water.
Let’s start with your ride for the day – a 24’ Shallow Stalker flats boat that has more than enough room to put up to 6 excited fishermen on the hottest bite. She’s geared with a 250 HP Mercury Pro XS 4-stroke engine that makes her perfectly stable for different types of fishing, including flats, backcountry, nearshore, and inshore angling. You will get all the fishing equipment you’ll use, including rods, reels, tackle, as well as live bait and lures.Garmin .
You’re free to book either a half-day or a full-day trip with Capt. Cliff, who knows just where to take you to put you on the fish in a matter of minutes. Waters around Port Isabel offer an abundance of different species, and you can look forward to a mixed bag of catch by the end of your expedition.
Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Tripletail, Snook, Speckled Trout, and Flounder are just some of the most popular catches that will give you a proper fight as you’re reeling them in. Superstars like Silver King (Tarpon) could also make an appearance, and then it’s time to bring forth your A-game.
Crystal Flats Guide Service will provide you with everything you need for a successful and fun day of fishing, what you should bring is a valid fishing license and a cooler with snacks, drinks, and lunch for longer trips. This charter is kid-friendly, and Capt. Cliff loves having little ones on board, as long as they’re 5 and older. He will have life vests for everyone, but if you’d prefer to bring a vest for your child, feel free to do so.

Capt Cliff greeted in the morning with a smile! Capt CIiff is laid back and keeps a level of professional skill in his trade. He gave us some basic tips and other tips of knowledge, remembered and used our names (maybe he had a post-it but it feels good that someone took the time to do this). My dog was allowed to go fishing with me which just brought joy to my heart. We caught multiple fish thanks to Capt Cliff working to keep us on them. I had such a great time and would highly recommend!

I had the best experience with my two twenty something sons. We caught our limit in 2 hours, what an awesome day! Captain Cliff was very knowledgeable and obviously knows how to fish, and made it fun.

We are by far not experienced in fishing but love trying it when we travel. Captain Cliff was so patient with our 10 and 7 year old! We caught fish and made some wonderful family memories.
