Houston Fishing Charter
South Padre Island Is 4.5 Hours Away
Houston anglers know good fishing — and the Lower Laguna Madre delivers something you can't find closer to home. Private bay fishing charters targeting redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and black drum on the most productive inshore fishery in Texas. All gear, bait, and fishing license coverage included.
Route: US-59 South to US-77 South to TX-100 East to South Padre Island Causeway
Leave Houston by 2:30 AM to reach the marina by 7:00 AM for a sunrise departure. Many Houston clients drive down the night before and stay on the island.

What You'll Catch on the Laguna Madre
The Lower Laguna Madre holds year-round inshore action that Houston anglers can't find in Galveston Bay or Sabine Lake — different water, different fish, different experience.
Redfish
The signature fish of the Laguna Madre. Slot reds on the shallow flats year-round, bull reds in fall and winter.
Speckled Trout
Trophy trout in fall and winter, active fish on the grass flats spring through fall.
Flounder
The fall migration peaks in November — one of the most reliable flounder fisheries on the Texas coast.
Black Drum
Big bulls arrive in December and stay through February. Some of the largest inshore fish in Texas.
