Captain
Noel Ledesma

Member since July 2021 South Padre Island, United States
Background
As a kid, Captain Noel has always enjoyed fishing with his dad and older brothers. When he got his first car, he would find myself going fishing to a local lake. Then he started venturing out of the saltwater bay and started fishing game fish. The captain decided to get his captain's license and guide fish. The most rewarding thing for him is to see kids and family bond and enjoy quality time catching fish and making great memories.
Techniques
Captain Noel prefers using live or fresh bait and sometimes artificial lures. Depending on the customers, he'll either bottom fish or drift fishing.

What an awesome time fishing with the father and daughter team. I can relate the happiness on them fishing together. I have a daughter, and I loved being on the water fishing with my daughter as well. We fished a couple of spots looking for speckled trout until we found them. Caught our daily limed and went looking for red fish. Well, the Reds didn't come out to play. We fished different locations for them. But, no luck, the wind completely died on us, making it difficult. But no shame in the game. They had an absolutely awesome time fishing, and so did being their fishing guide ??

Father and kids from Montana fishing for the first time in SPI. We had a blast landing our trout limet and went looking for reds and landed 5 of them. What an amazing family. We had a great day on the water. Saw plenty of wildlife seagulls, pelicans and even saw some dolphins swimming by. Princess family memories for sure. ?
