This isn't your average fishing trip – it's a chance to experience some of the best inshore action the Lone Star State has to offer.

What's Biting Today?

Picture this: You're gliding across crystal-clear flats, the sun's just peeking over the horizon, and there's a tailing redfish right in your sights.

Fish in the Crosshairs

Let's talk about what you're after on this trip. First up, the redfish. These copper-colored bruisers are the crown jewels of Texas inshore fishing. They'll test your drag and your patience, often tailing in shallow water where you can sight-cast to them. Spring and fall are prime times, but you can catch these guys year-round. There's nothing quite like the thrill of watching a big red crush your lure in gin-clear water.

Next, we've got speckled trout. These wily predators are a staple of the Lower Laguna Madre. They're known for their soft mouths and lightning-fast strikes. Trout fishing here can be red hot, especially in the cooler months when big sow trout move into shallower waters. Whether you're tossing soft plastics or live bait, hooking into a gator trout is an experience you won't forget.

Last but not least, there's the southern flounder. These flatfish might not look like much, but they're prized for their delicious white meat. Flounder fishing picks up in the fall during their annual migration to the Gulf. It takes a bit of finesse to hook these bottom-dwellers, but when you do, you're in for a treat. And remember, Captain Augustin will clean and fillet your catch, so you can look forward to some fresh fish tacos after your trip.

Time to Wet a Line

Alright, let's recap why this Lower Laguna Madre fishing charter is a can't-miss opportunity. You're getting a private trip with a top-notch guide who knows how to put you on the fish. The waters here are teeming with redfish, trout, and flounder, and you get to keep what you catch. Plus, with flexible start times and trip durations, you can customize your day on the water to fit your schedule.

So what are you waiting for? Grab your fishing buddy (remember, the base price covers two anglers) and let's hit the water. Whether you're looking to bend a rod, fill the cooler, or just enjoy a day soaking up the Texas sun, this trip has got you covered. Don't let this chance slip away – the fish are biting, and your spot on the boat is waiting. Book now and get ready for some reel action on the Lower Laguna Madre!

Redfish

Redfish are a favorite target in our shallow waters, with their distinctive copper color and black tail spot. You'll find these guys cruising the flats in just 1-4 feet of water, often tailing in water so shallow their backs stick out. They love hanging around oyster reefs, seagrass, and mud bottoms. Most redfish we catch run 20-30 inches, but the big bulls can top 45 inches and 50 pounds. Fall's the prime time as they school up to spawn. Reds put up a great fight and are excellent eating. To hook one, try topwater lures early in the morning - there's nothing like that explosive surface strike. A local tip: on calm days, look for pushed water or "nervous" bait to find actively feeding reds. Whether you're after a trophy catch or just want to bend a rod, redfish never disappoint.

Redfish

Sea Trout

Sea trout are a prized catch here in the Lower Laguna Madre. These silvery beauties typically run 14 to 24 inches, with some monsters pushing 40 pounds. You'll find them hanging around grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. They're fun to target year-round, but winter's when they school up in deeper spots. Sea trout put up a great fight and make for some tasty eating with their mild, flaky white meat. To land one, try using artificial lures like jerk baits or topwater plugs. A local trick is to troll slowly along grass edges if you're having trouble spotting them. Just remember not to overcook 'em - that tender meat can get mushy fast. Whether you're after the thrill of the catch or a delicious dinner, sea trout fishing is hard to beat.

Sea Trout

Southern Flounder

Southern flounder are the masters of camouflage in our waters. These flat, oval-shaped fish blend right into sandy or muddy bottoms, often buried with just their eyes showing. They typically run 15 to 18 inches, but can reach up to 33 inches and 20 pounds. You'll find them in shallow coastal areas, bays, and estuaries. Fall's the best time to target flounder as they migrate to deeper waters for spawning. Anglers love 'em for their mild, sweet flavor and firm texture - perfect for the dinner table. To catch one, try drift fishing with live bait like bull minnows or mullet. Here's a local secret: use a slow retrieve and bump your bait along the bottom to mimic an injured fish. Flounder fishing takes patience, but the reward is well worth the wait.
