Happytide Charters
Summary:

About the Captain
Happytide Charters Captain Larry Langford has been a licensed Coast Guard Captain for 22 years, and is a proud member of the Port Isabel/ South Padre Island Guides Association. He has been fishing the Lower Texas Coastal waters for over 30 years and has spent the past 21 years as a full time Lower Laguna Madre Guide. Captain Langford is one of the most experienced guides available for a successful fishing trip!

What Happytide Charters Offers
Captain Larry Langford offers guided fishing trips for Speckled Trout, Red Fish (Red Drum), Snook, Black Drum, and Flounder using light spinning and baitcast tackle. Happytide Charters specializes in putting you and your party on the fish with the use of artificial lures. Live and natural baits can be used on request or when the Captain feels it's necessary to produce a fine day of fishing.

About the Boat
My boat is a 20 ft. Redfin Tunnel Drive, center console rig powered by a 150 H.P. Johnson outboard motor. I am also using a Remote Controlled Motorguide Trolling Motor which allows me to work the various bottom structures known to hold fish, such as sandbars, channels and cuts, reefs, etc.

Fishing Trips
Half Day (5-6 hours) and Full Day (8 hours) Trips available.
All trips include all tackle, baits, and ice.

What to Bring
Bring what you wish to eat or drink for the time you will be out on the water. You may bring a small ice chest of your own or I will ice your drinks for you. Other items I recommend are: Texas fishing license (required), hat, sunscreen, and polarized sunglasses. You may bring your own tackle & lures as long as it is suited for light tackle angling.

Weldon Charter Service

Weldon Charter Service
Summary:

Weldon Charter Service is a fishing guide service based in Arroyo City, Texas. Centrally located on the Lower Laguna Madre, our charters may range from Port Mansfield to South Padre Island. WCS offers fly fishing charters as well as lure fishing trips. Targeted species include redfish, speckled trout and flounder.
 

OUR APPROACH...
 
    Our usual approach is to sight fish for redfish and speckled trout whenever possible. Sight fishing can be done from the boat, poling, drifting or wading the warm, shallow flats of the Lower Laguna Madre.  Sight fishing requires an angler to spot and  identify gamefish and make an accurate cast in varying wind conditions. I am always ready and willing to work with individual anglers with regard to learning how to spot fish and cast to them.
    Sometimes a charter includes anglers of varying skill levels and even a mix of fly fishers and lure fishers. I'll try to work with each angler throughout the day and combine several different approaches in an effort to maximize everyone's opportunities. Of course, the more people taken on one charter, the harder it is for me to provide the individual attention that I strive for.
    From novice to expert, the best opportunities and adventures are enjoyed by all when an extended stay of two or three days is planned. It is impossible to experience all of the different types of fishing the Lower Laguna Madre has to offer in just one day. Early in the morning, before the sun rises high enough for sight fishing -- and on days where cloud cover prevents us from sight fishing -- we'll turn to other fishing techniques, such as stalking tailing fish, working topwater lures and soft plastics over potholes and or flounder fishing. These alternative techniques are usually done on the west side of the bay system, which has a grassy bottom. Later in the day we may have time to experience sight fishing at its best, Florida or Bahamas style on the white sands of the east bank. The Lower Laguna Madre offers over sixty miles of pure white sand flats along the backside of the Padre Island National Seashore. The water depth on the white sand seldom exceeds 12" to 14". This strip of heavenly waters varies in width from several hundred yards to about a mile wide. Most of our clients have never experienced anything as beautiful and productive as the white sand flats of Padre Island. It is the only place in Texas where one can experience the combination of gin clear water over a white sandy flat. Many times while fishing the white sand, I've seen grown men, experienced fishermen, fall completely apart at the sight of an approaching trout in the 25" to 30" range. They always describe it as being similar to buck fever! Sight fishing can be so exhilarating that I still get just as excited over the last fish caught as I did over the first fish so many years ago. Again, due to changing weather conditions, ever-moving fish, and time constraints, it is always best to book at least two days in a row. Of course, if you can only get away for one day, the possibility of experiencing a perfect day in paradise is always worth it.

Frontier Charters
Summary:

Frontier Charters is based out of Arroyo City Texas. Our services cater to anglers of all ages and levels of skill. We are the only south Texas guide service specializing in kayak fishing trips in the lower Laguna Madre bay system.
 

Our Goal:

At Frontier Charters our goal is to insure your safety and fun while fishing from one of our kayaks or from our 2008 190 MLG Dargel. (Myrtle)

 
Our Specialty:

We specialize in site fishing the flats for Red Fish, Speckled Trout, Snook and a variety of other species found in the Lower Laguna Madre.

The Ultimate Experience:

Fishing from a kayak is probably one of the most exciting fishing trips one could take.
 

The stealth and ease of a kayak allow you to literally sneak up on a school of feeding Red Fish and watch them explode in a frenzy chasing your lure.

 What To Expect:

Whether fishing from kayaks or Myrtle, we will leave the dock as early as possible, preferably at sunrise. After arriving to our destination, we will be fishing in water 10 to 16 inches in depth (The Flats). Top water lures are best in the early morning hours. Later in the morning when the sun rises adequately, we will begin site fishing. At times, we do bait fish, if the weather conditions dictate.

What To Bring:

Texas fishing license with salt water stamp (mandatory)

Bring your favorite food and beverages. (Alcohol is allowed)

Sunglasses (polarized)

Sunscreen

Appropriate clothing for the given weather conditions
