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.

Father and daughter visiting SPI from Am

May 30, 2025 South Padre Island

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 ??

Montana newcomers to SPI

May 29, 2025 South Padre Island

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. ?

Fishing has been great

5 Hour Trip

My family had a wonderful experience on this fishing trip. Captain Noel was timely, professional, attentive and detail oriented. He took great care of us all the way down to baiting our hooks and casting the poles in the best areas. This experience made for wonderful memories with my son during our first trip to South Padre Island!

We had a bit of a slow start on a slow day. But captain Ledesma was determined for us to fish and found a spot where we had lots of fun. Tried different types of fishing techniques and had excellent advice and bait to do the catches. Overall a fun day, will definitely book again!

We had the best time! I (mom) am not a fisher but my two teenage boys love to fish. We had so much fun! We all caught our limit - maybe too quickly! Captain Noel showed us SpaceX which was also fun! It was a great morning on the water and we all had so much fun!

I’m so glad you guys had a great time fishing. You did great landing fish for being your first time, and the boys did awesome. It was a pleasure taking you guys to see around the bay. Spacex is a site to see from the bay. It’s all about making memorable memories. Stay safe and blessed, my friend.

Cap Noel is amazing. He not only led us to great fishing holes catching a lot of fish but he was a great tour guild, making us feel like we were just part of his family. We will be back to fish with him again.

Captain Noel was great. I took my 3 sons and we had just about limited out on keepers within 45 minutes. Very easy to work with and my son’s and I had a great trip and would use him again!

David, I’m am so glad you and your son’s had a good time landing some nice Speckled Trout. The Reds didn’t want to come out by buy South Bay. But, we certainly had a nice view of spacex and rockets being built. Your sons were awesome. The best part was that everyone got to land some fish, including dad. It’s all about spending quality time with your family. Stay safe and blessed 🐟🎣
