Bay Fishing South Texas - Laguna Madre
Casting to Tailing Reds and Trout can't be adequately described, it has to be experienced!  We cruise the bays until we locate pods of Reds and Trout working Shrimp in the grass flats, which can be spotted from a distance because they usually drive shrimp into the air and the birds are diving on them.  Working our way upwind of these feeding pods we drift in closer then anchor the boat and wade to within casting distance.  Within a cast or two to the feeding pods and you're hooked up to some real exciting fishing!!!  Fly fishing, spinning or bait casting it's a BLAST!!!

The Capt. John is a 75 foot long by 27 foot wide all aluminum catamaran. It is Galveston's fastest and most modern party boat. Its cruising speed is around 22 knots (25 mph) when fully loaded. The extended operating range available on day trips, with its great speed, will enable the Capt. John to fish additional areas that are not presently accessible. Day trips will take up to 83 fishermen offshore, while extended length trips of 36 hours to 60 hours will be able to accommodate up to 40. Bunks for the 40 fishermen make these overnight trips a comfortable reality.

A lifelong fisherman, Mike Weeks knows how to catch fish.  He has been fishing Lake Palestine in East Texas when the lake was built in 1972.  This makes him the most experienced guide in the area.

Lake Palestine in East Texas is one of the most picturesque lakes in the state.   At one time it was one of the hottest black bass lakes in the South.   It is still a great fishing lake but most of the anglers are after hybrid stripers, sand bass, or crappie. Lurking at the bottom of the lake are some trophy size catfish and there certainly are great numbers of them.

Mike is also your best choice for Richland Chamber and Lake Fork.

All bait and tackle are provided and Mike even cleans and bags your catch at the end of the day so you can have an awesome fish fry that night.
