Just remember you win some and you lose some each time on the water is different. Have a great time either way it goes. Be kind and God bless.

The Laguna Madre is a beautiful bay system with plenty of potential to catch limits. Remember, it's fishing, not catching so take in the whole experience in God's beauty!

There are a lot of fish out at the artificial reef, which is the largest in the United States. Only takes an hour to get there.

The freeze really hurt the bay and inland fishing so i would avoid it till Fall of 2023. Offshore is still really good.

Fishing was great, just check to see what Saturday the fishing tournament in May is going to be on. Would have fished Saturday also, but did not want all the chaos from 400 boats fishing in the bay.

Waves were larger than any other charter I’ve been on. Take Dramamine the night before and morning of so you aren’t the main source of chum.

The first hour we moved to a few locations before we found a good spot. We only caught whiting fish. They were small but we were able to catch enough for a great dinner.

Undertow is strong on the surf so be smart while fishing. Night time Fishing on the pier in port isabel is fairly good with artificial shrimp. Good luck!

Top notch charter and captain from booking until he cleaned all of our fish! Amazing day

Captain said that the seaweed is worse this time of year which makes it harder with lures.
