Cody Simmons

I’m Capt. Cody Simmons, a USCG-approved captain for 5 years, with more than 10 years of experience fishing the waters from the Laguna Madre to Baffin Bay. My passion is chasing big speckled trout, especially the legendary “gator trout” that call these waters home. I specialize in artificial-lure wade fishing, particularly during the spring through winter months when some of the biggest trout of the year can be caught. My goal isn’t just to put fish in the boat—it’s to teach you how I read the water and find fish so you leave the trip with knowledge you can use for years to come. During our trip, I’ll teach you how to identify productive water, understand what different areas are telling you, and properly present your lure to each spot we fish. Whether we’re working tails and Corky Fat Boys around the rocks of Baffin Bay or working lures across the white potholes and beautiful flats of the Laguna Madre, I’ll show you the techniques I use to hunt big trout. ? Trips Available Year-Round I offer trips all year long, weather permitting, targeting: * Speckled Trout * Redfish * Flounder * Black Drum ?️ Live Bait Boat Trips For anglers who prefer live bait, I offer live croaker and live shrimp trips out of Bluff’s Landing in Corpus Christi, Texas. Live-bait boat trips include: * Live croaker or live shrimp * Waterloo rods and reels provided * Ice * Bottled water * Your drink of choice upon request * Fish cleaned and bagged at the end of your trip
