South Padre Texas Hosted trip 2019
I spent October in S Padre Texas hosting 3 groups fishing Laguna Madre waters. This are is beautiful, full of skinny flats with loads of grass that requires new techniques to tackle the huge prey that can hide in it. I solicited to help of several of our DOA Lures guides to show these anglers are and techniques sticking trout, reds, flounder and tarpon. Weather as the cold fronts drop can and did hamper us a few days but that is the Lords will. You must adjust as our great guides did. My relaxation while anglers hit it with the guides. Oh – also had a private pool too. Great place to lounge and chill after day of fishing. I play chef – not but damn good cook! Breakfast lunch and supper every day. Suppers such as grilled pork roast, jambalaya, fish (plenty) and dove breast on grill. My big event is supper of local fare. I hired a local Mexican lady that cooks EVERYTHING from scratch – no cans. Wow. Real Mexican food at its best. And believe me. She has great pleasure in cooking for us and you wont go away hungry – hope leftovers ok with ya!
The jetties(short run to Rio Grande and border) are full of mullet as run is on. Tarpon, snook and loads of Big reds hang in them. Weather dictates fishability but awesome if can do. In shore fishing in skinny waters holds trout, reds with huge opportunity for BIG fish – trout 30+ and huge schools red that we had up to 30” ish. If weather right sight casting a blast. Imagine casting at a huge school of over slot reds. Hook up in skinny water and hang on. No where to go but out or IN. watch the boat, say goodbye. Deeper water holds plenty and huge snook providing top water at its best. One am trip hooked approximately 40 really nice snook.
As and add, I arranged for 1 group to go dove hunting – off the shelf – limit out on big white wings full of sunflower seeds. They wanted a Marichi band in the field after shoot with appetizers and beverages. Can and Did do.
To top it off. They also wanted massages. Well, I can arrange. Had a licensed massage therapist come rearrange their bones and muscles from the hard shooting and fishing,
Great time and place to hold a Team Building or group trip – comradery at its best
Don’t come here just for this, beautiful area to sight see, relax on the Gulf beaches and such.
Until next time (maybe March) Tight lines
