My son and I recently visited S.P.I and booked laguna madre guides to gobbay fishing and let me tell you the fishing and the guides a top notch…we were originally supposed to fishing with Zach bit due to a lower unit problem he couldn’t go but he set us up with his partner John Martinez for a 4 hr morning trip. Day started out beautiful we were on the water and fishing by day break and within 30 minutes we had our limit of speckled trout…..we caught more but because of the size we had to throw them back…after our limit of trout we cruises around the bay and tries for some red fish. My son caught one small red and had another on but it snapped the line at the boat…..we had a blast and we will fish with John and Zach when we visit S.P.I again….no more capital Murphys for this guy ..the real fishing is with laguna madre..

Zach took us out for a full day. We wanted to bring home fish to eat and he delivered. We caught enough sheepshead to feed the whole family many times over.
He was very accommodating of my mobility limited father, as well as providing fishing guidance for my two kids. His equipment was all in great shape.

It was my wife’s and my Fortieth Anniversary and we decided to celebrate by doing a Private Fishing Charter out of Corpus Christi. Our daughter and her husband joined us. We had another Fishing Charter scheduled who cancelled on us at the last minute. I was able to schedule Captain Zach with Laguna Madre Guide Service and boy were we pleased! He was great, appreciative, very polite, very professional and very knowledgeable of where and how to fish. If the fish weren’t biting enough in one area, we moved to another and another. Bottom line, the four of us had our hands full reeling in the fish; we kept Captain Zach busy! We caught a lot more than we kept, due to their size. When we got back to shore, Captain Zach did an excellent job of filleting them.
Thanks again Captain Zach, see you again next time. We also plan to tell any and all going to Corpus to reach out to you!

Captain was great. Been on other trips before on “normal” boats… pontoon is the way to go. So much more room and definitely more comfortable. Well worth it. You don’t get wet either like on some other lower to the water boats. On this trip, adults did not fish…our captain spent a lot of time helping the kids hook up and attach live shrimp to the hooks and casting. We caught over 50 fish for sure but only kept 20 of the bigger ones. Biggest one was a 22”. We had several 20” fish. It was a great experience. Definitely will recommend in the future.
