Laguna Madre Guide Service 

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..

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

Captain was great. Been on other trips before on “normal” boats… pontoon is the way to go. So much more room and definitely more comfortable. Well worth it. You don’t get wet either like on some other lower to the water boats. On this trip, adults did not fish…our captain spent a lot of time helping the kids hook up and attach live shrimp to the hooks and casting. We caught over 50 fish for sure but only kept 20 of the bigger ones. Biggest one was a 22”. We had several 20” fish. It was a great experience. Definitely will recommend in the future.

We had an amazing time with Captain Zach. He was so informative and helpful. The boat was very nice and comfortable. Great for families or friends. We will definitely book again. Captain Zach made sure that we had a fun time and caught some big fish😀

Great time…lots of fish! Very accommodating

Spent one family day fishing with two adults and teenage son. My 16 yr old is an avid fisherman and he spent a second day fishing with Capt Zach. The time with Zach was spent catching fishing and lots of easy conversation and laughs. Having never fished Baffin Bay, and prior to our scheduled trips, Zach met us at the little bait shop in Riviera and set us up with the right stuff for pier fishing. Zach recommended areas to take our kayaks and the best local restaurants. Capt Zach goes the extra mile for clients and we consider him a new friend.

Started as a cold morning for south Texas. Being from Minnesota it was balmy. Water temp was cool, but off we went. Zach new just where we were heading. 6 miles of cool Tx breeze. Dropped anchor and started fishing. To slow he says. So we moved 200 yards and spent the next four hours there. During the course of that time we filled the box. Not all were keepers, but many of fish were caught on many a cast.

Awesome trip! We started of the morning pulling in trout fairly consistently. Fished with popping corks and killed it on the trout. Didn’t limit on trout but had constant action. Very knowledgeable of the area and with the tackle and techniques. Highly recommend a trip with Captain Zach!
