Saltwater Cowboyz is based in Corpus Christi, Texas, and launches from Clem’s Marina. The company prides itself in providing one of the most comfortable rides in very shallow water. If you would like to experience some fine angling with a tournament-winning captain, Saltwater Cowboyz is the right choice for you.

Step aboard a 23’ Shoalwater center console, which comes powered by a 300 HP Suzuki outboard engine. It has a maximum cruising speed of 60 knots and can comfortably take up to 6 guests. Its navigational electronics include a Lowrance touch screen navigation and sonar, a fishfinder, a Lowrance Link 8 VHF radio, and a radar. The boat is equipped with a wireless trolling motor for a quiet ride, as well as an icebox, and a live well to keep the bait fresh.

The captain offers 4 and 8-hour trips to choose from. If you want to spend your whole day on the water, he can take you fishing at King Ranch Shoreline, Baffin Bay, Yarbrough, Rocky Sleuth, and Land Cuts. You will be fishing with live bait, going for Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and Flounder. Saltwater Cowboyz knows the best methods that work in the local waters, such as jigging, drift fishing, spinning, and light tackle.

Your trip with Saltwater Cowboyz will include your fishing equipment, such as rods, reels, and tackle, as well as live bait and lures. You will be offered water during the trip, so you can feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks with you. Also, your catch can be cleaned and filleted for you to take home and have dinner afterward.

    Half day trip is a four hour trip. The difference between a full day and half day trip is the amount of time you get to fish after the time it takes to get to fish. Most of my trips are to Baffin Bay or land cuts, usually a 30-45 min boat ride one way. A half day trip will get you approximately hour and a half to two hours of fish time, where a a full day will get you more time to fish. A full day trip will allow you to bring home more fish and see a lot more of the gorgeous Lower Laguna Madre.

When I was a small boy fishing with my grandpa, we would always go out with fishing guides. These memories birthed a strong passion for fishing. Over the years as my fishing abilities developed I went in to winning many different fishing tournaments. When my Grandpa passed, I realized my passion and joy had changed. I discovered how much gratification, joy, and happiness came from taking others fishing. So, now I strive to give back the same happy memories I had as a kid.
