Laguna Reds Fishing Charters

Laguna Reds Fishing Charters and Captain Garry Melott welcome you to Lamar Texas. They will take you to the best fishing holes in the Coastal Bend and make sure you have an excellent experience exploring inshore and nearshore waters. Whether you’re a seasoned fisherman or a beginner, Captain Garry will get you on the fish.

Your journey will start on a 21’ Tran SVT boat that runs on a 200HP Suzuki engine with maximum cruising speed of 45 knots.  The boat can sit up to 4 anglers. For navigation, it uses quality GPS, fishfinder, and radio systems that will keep you on the course all the time.

Captain Garry uses light tackle and specializes in spinning, so you’ll have the chance to learn or perfect this fishing style. The interesting species you’ll be chasing include Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder and even Blacktip Shark. You’ll be keeping the fish you catch so you can have some delicious meals when you get back home. Kids are welcome to join the trip, so feel free to bring them along as well.

You’re covered for all the fishing gear. The captain will supply you with Shimano Stradic reels, St. Croix rods, tackle, as well as live bait and lures. He’ll also clean and fillet your catch. Just pack some food and drinks before you leave so you can recharge during the trip.

Visit Laguna Reds Fishing Charters and spend some wonderful moments in nature fishing and absorbing the beauties only the coastal bend can offer.
