Jerry Bradford

Member since October 2023 Rio Hondo, United States

Background: 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!
Techniques: Drifting and throwing soft plastics is my favorite method, but can adapt to other methods when weather dictates.

Half Day Trip (AM)

Captain Jerry was great. Me, my 10 y/o daughter, and two friends went out this morning with him. It was a great time. He helped show my daughter with casting and how to reel in and by the end of the trip she was slinging it out all by herself and catching trout. Said she had the best time. Caught plenty of fish but just one of those days with only three keepers. We had a great time regardless. Capt is very knowledgable and helps everyone with everything. We will definitely be back and use capt... More

Booking with Captain Jerry was a great experience! This was the third guided trip my son and I have taken and our first time in South Padre Island. Captain Jerry communicated great prior to the trip, was early & ready for us upon arrival, and did everything he could to get us on the fish. We caught lots of fish and had a great time the whole trip. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely book with Captain Jerry again next time we’re in South Padre.

Husband and I were in town for a vacation and going on a charter fishing trip was number one on our list of things to do. From the moment we booked with CaptainJerry, he went well above and beyond. He began communicating with us immediately, letting us know step-by-step what we would need and what to expect. From the moment we booked the trip until the very end of our excursion, he let us know in word and in action that the trip was all about us and our enjoyment. He was professional, personable,...

The captain was outstanding! He was professional, friendly, and knew exactly where to take us to catch fish. He made the whole trip fun, shared a lot of knowledge, and kept the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable. We caught plenty and had an amazing time on the water. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

You will not find a more dedicated Captain! Jerry worked the young and the old on our bay excursion and made sure we caught fish. Hands down the best bay fishing trip my family has ever been on. Highly recommend Laguna Madre Madness to anyone wanting a down to earth gentleman that knows what he’s doing!
