TJ BOOM Fishing was founded by Captain TJ. Being a Texan native, he’s been fishing the Lower Laguna Madre since he was a kid. He grew up knowing he’ll be guiding trips in these waters and sharing his knowledge with other people.

Capt. TJ has been featured in publications such as The Texas sportsman tracking outdoors Saltwater angler magazine, Rancho Pisto Pesca Texas coastal Espn radio, and Local Fox. His mission is to teach the future anglers of this sport and the importance of conservation. Capt. TJ is certified with Texas Parks and wildlife as a youth angler instructor and has been certified for 4 years

Your adventure starts on a 24’ Dargel Boat that accommodates up to 6 anglers. This new model was built in 2019 and features the latest 200 HP Suzuki outboard engine. Besides modern navigational equipment, the boat also has a live bait tank.

Explore the area’s inshore waters and target Redfish, Black Drum, Flounder, Speckled Trout, and Mangrove Snapper. Switch between different fishing techniques and see which one gets you the most fish.

Capt. TJ will take care of your fishing equipment, including live bait and lures. He also provides bottled water for the trip and cleans your catch when catching is done. You only need to purchase your fishing license and pack your snacks.

Come on down and visit TJ BOOM Fishing at South Padre Island Texas!
