Background
Capt. Jodie Penn runs trips out of Port Aransas aboard a 23’ Majek M2 Illusion. These waters are known for Redfish and Black Drum and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're jigging or bottom fishing. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
