There’s a fish with your name on it in Rio Hondo and Laguna Madre Madness will help you catch it! Captain Jerry will be your guide, which means you’ll tap into years of knowledge and experience.

These waters are home to Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, and more. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Your trip begins aboard a 22’ Bay boat with a capacity for 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. You might need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Don’t leave home without snacks, sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Get in touch with Capt. Jerry below and start planning your trip today!

We had an incoming tropical storm and the fish appeared to have lock jaw. We were able to put a trout in the box and Captain was not afraid to burn some fuel to try to find some more. Great attitude and fun company. Will definitely book him again!

Fish Madness!

VERIFIED

To start off with, Captain Jerry is just a super nice guy. To make it better... He knows where to fish due to local knowledge. He has a great boat, and all the tack you'll need to catch fish. Hands down my favorite salt water fishing experience ever. Local knowledge plus a great captain will leave you with a fishing experience you'll never forget. I sure won't.
