Snook On A Hook
Snook On A Hook
Snook On A Hook takes you fishing around the inshore waterways of Texas in search for Snook, Redfish, Jack Crevalle, and Flounder. These trips are year-round treats as the fish are both strong and tasty. Both serious anglers and less experienced fishermen will have fun time trying to get the fish in.
To make the most out of your day, you will want to be fishing with a local guide, and who better than the president of the Laguna Madre Fly Fishing Association himself - Mark Machado. Captain Mark knows the area intimately and will be able to help you reach the productive spots. Captain Mark has been featured in several fishing magazine articles and has been part of a TV show on trout fly fishing.
As for the vessel, you will be fishing from a 19’ Mako bay boat. She can take up to four anglers and is well equipped to go around the estuaries and the bay system. The boat is powered by a 115 HP Mercury engine and can reach the speeds of up to 35 knots. The GPS system will help you navigate around the maze waterways, and there is the safety gear onboard, as well as the fly fishing equipment and a lie bait well.
You should bring a valid Texas saltwater fishing license, your own food and drinks, as well as a cap, sunblock, sunglasses, and comfortable footwear, preferably without black soles. Having in mind how numerous these schools can get, you’ll definitely want to bring a camera along. Please note that smoking is not allowed. As for the fish, you can either release it or have a nice meal in one of the nearby restaurants after the trip.
These trips are a great way to learn the craft of fly fishing. It requires patience, and Capt. Mark will help out with the basics. Find a spot and go get your Snook!

Awesome trip
Captain Mark was fantastic. He has the knowledge, the skills, the equipment, and most importantly, an awesome attitude. We went to all the right places, great weather, perfect time of the season, held great discussions throughout the day, used the right equipment, and saw all kinds of wildlife (which made it even more enjoyable for me seeing all the great outdoors has to offer). I enjoyed every minute so much, I wasn't even thinking about how to make it better. We didn't hook into a snook, but he tried his heart out. We only managed to land three keeper sized (but boated and sighted a lot of fish...so they were there). My only possible tip, would be to mix up the techniques if one isn't working as well as expected (put some live bait in the potholes or use some cut bait under a float...something different). But that is a minor thought. I would certainly go out again or recommend Capt Mark. I've booked a lot of charters, and this is my second most enjoyable (had we taken home more fish, I have to remind myself it is called fishing not catching, this one might have been my favorite).
