Captain
Fernando Herrera

Member since January 2022 Aransas Pass, United States
Background
Captain Fernando has been fishing Redfish Bay for over 24 years. fishing is an absolute passion and taking people fishing and witnessing the enjoyment of others, catching reds and trout is what I love the most.
Techniques
With a major focus on helping less experienced anglers I find fishing with bait is most productive. Depending on the time of year, we could be using Sea lice, shad, mullet , pin perch, shrimp or piggy perch. But will always have at least 3 types of bait on board, the fish can be picky. Moving around the Aransas area we will fish different types of structures and grass flats.
