Laguna Madre Guide Service
Laguna Madre Guide Service
Laguna Mare Guide Service offers exciting adventures on the waters of the laguna Madre in South Padre Island, Texas. The company is run and operated by Captain Zach, a professional guide, who is passionate about everything outdoors. Join him on his day out for a fun and productive experience. Like everybody says, it's a lot better to be on the bay than in the office!
Zach will take you out aboard his 26' Shallow Sport X3, which is a stable and well-maintained boat. It comes powered by a 300-HP 4-stroke engine and is prepared for the current bite. The vessel provides comfortable fishing space for up to six anglers and is rigged with modern navigational electronics and safety equipment. There is a multimedia system, an ice-box for the catch, and a live well that can be loaded with bait.
Whether you want to fish the waters of the Laguna Madre, or out in the Gulf of Mexico, Captain Zach will work hard to help you make a memorable day on the water. The trips are from four to eight hours on the water. Choose the trip that suits you best, take your family and friends, and get ready for some rod-bending action. Your main targeted species will include Redfish, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, and Flounder.
Captain Zach is great with kids so feel free to bring your child with you. After all, there's nothing better than seeing a child's smile when they land their first-ever fish!
All trips come with quality rods, reels, tackle, and lures. Live bait can also be used for an extra fee. You will need to purchase a license before the trip. When you return to the shore, your catch will be cleaned and filleted. You can feel free to bring your own drinks and food with you.

the captain was amazing me and boyfriend had so much fun!
thank you very much guys it was a great time beautiful weather
👍
My son and I recently visited S.P.I and booked laguna madre guides to gobbay fishing and let me tell you the fishing and the guides a top notch...we were originally supposed to fishing with Zach bit due to a lower unit problem he couldn't go but he set us up with his partner John Martinez for a 4 hr morning trip. Day started out beautiful we were on the water and fishing by day break and within 30 minutes we had our limit of speckled trout.....we caught more but because of the size we had to throw them back...after our limit of trout we cruises around the bay and tries for some red fish. My son caught one small red and had another on but it snapped the line at the boat.....we had a blast and we will fish with John and Zach when we visit S.P.I again....no more capital Murphys for this guy ..the real fishing is with laguna madre..
Zach took us out for a full day. We wanted to bring home fish to eat and he delivered. We caught enough sheepshead to feed the whole family many times over. He was very accommodating of my mobility limited father, as well as providing fishing guidance for my two kids. His equipment was all in great shape.
Thank you very much. I had a blast with you guys. Hope to see you in the future.
Captain Zach showed us a great time on the water. He put us right on the sheep head and within a couple hours we had almost limited out. Helpful & good with our boys. Our youngest, at 10 years old, had an absolute amazing time!… And usually he gets bored lol Definitely recommend
I had a blast, Cody thank you very much

Your captain
After spending four years in the United States Marine Corps, I returned back to Northern Minnesota to pursue my passion for fishing and hunting. After running a successful Guide Service in northern Minnesota, I sold it and started up Laguna Madre Guide Service in South Texas. My wife, Jill and I built a house in Port Isabel, right on the channel where I have the boat sitting right in the backyard. I enjoy shallow water fishing and putting customers on as many fish as possible in an outing.
