I started fishing in the bay as a boy and fell in love with fishing. I enjoy being with people on the bay and showing them the techniques that I use. Although I use a variety of techniques, I prefer site fishing in the clear water and poling my clients up to tailing Reds. The Laguna Madre is a great location for fly fishing. We also use live bait for children and beginners. It's always great to see my clients catch their first fish! Fishing is something that has to be experienced to be fully appreciated!

    Great day

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    During our time actually fishing, the action was nearly constant. We estimate we caught over 100 sea trout. They were all small, but very willing. Having dolphins surfacing around the boat was an added bonus, as well as adding excitement to pulling in fish! Fortunately, they never did manage to grab a fish on the line. Ryan is very knowledgeable about the area in general (he also runs non-fishing bay tours), and fishing in particular. His stories of friends, family, and experiences will keep you well entertained. He has a good network of other captains, and keeps up with current conditions and fish activity. While we didn’t need it, I expect this comes in handy when the fishing is tough. The boat is well equipped, and is a real hoot to ride in when Ryan opens it up. We were out a ways, and probably had 30 minutes each way to our fishing spot. Plenty of time to enjoy the speed, waves and sun.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout

    Ryan gets limits!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Considering the weather, he put us on trout and we limited with enough time to go to several other spots before the weather turned worse. Captain Ryan is very kind and accommodating. We would highly recommend him to everyone!!!

    Capt Ryan is the Man!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 6 adults • 1 child

    we had the best time. My father-in-law, brother-in-law, nephews and my son. We limited out on trout early because the captain put us on the best spots. he was knowledgeable, fun and was just as excited as we were to catch fish. I honestly think he was more excited when my nephews and son caught fish then we were. We will book him every time we are in South Padre.

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout

    great experience

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    Mr Ryan was a great company, great captain in his knowledge and ability and companion. we had a great time with my family, brother, in laws and grandson. here is the however! this is to give the feedback to Ryan and all captains, in my business experience, if you are a mechanic, you have the best tools, if customer service, a great smile and knowledgeable in the product you offer, if you are a fishing captain, have the best nets to catch the fish, to avoid loosing the few fish customer may catch, the best and smooth fishing rods, the shiniest hooks so customer that do not have that much knowledge on fishing do not have to work with faulty equipment. i had a previous trip with another captain and we had to be towed back due to engine failure. another time a captain and crew did not keep count of fish and people that flew for the fishing experience and got their limit, did not get any fish because the were polite to let others get their fish first and they went back home empty handed. just do your best, best equipment, best knowledge of area, so customer do not walk with gaps and disappointment in their experience, we can not expect the fish to catch that hook every time we cast or expect the biggest fish but for sure the best effort to make customer come back!!! i have always been working to avoid mediocrity in my industry! never that mañana! mañana! and i share my moto!! to push others to try their best! echa toda la carne al asador!!! i will recommend Captain Ryan!! i will give a chance!! there is always room for improvement!!

    Great trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Took my wife on her first trip and the captain made sure to make it a great one. On our first cast we landed a 24” trout and made sure to have everything prepared for my wife and I when we needed it.

    Response from Captain
