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.

    Speckled Trout & Redfish Outing

    Special 4 hour trip for Patrick Milligan on April 18, 2026 • 2 adults

    Brought my grandson out for his first fishing charter. Things started slow as a major front was coming in but Captain Jerry kept searching and we ended up with a limit of Speckled Trout and 2 hefty Redfish. A few smaller (non keepers) were caught as well. Captain Jerry was very helpful and took the time to teach my grandson proper technique.

    Fish Madness!

    AM or PM mon. - thurs. on December 20, 2023 • 1 adult

    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.

I got my first taste of saltwater fishing in the early 80s when I moved to New Orleans for a few years and fell in love with it. I moved to the valley in 2015 and have been fishing the bay ever since. I am 'living the dream' and enjoying every minute of it!
