Capt. Eduardo runs trips out of Goodland aboard a 25’ Contender. These waters are known for Redfish and Snook and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're bottom fishing or jigging. With extensive knowledge and experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
