Looking for a last minute fly fishing trip in Laguna madre

Looking for a last minute fly fishing trip in Laguna madre - 04/25/16 12:59 AM

Hey I know it's late but I have a va appointment this week in chorus Christi and figured I might as well try my luck fly fishing in Laguna madra for some red fish and tarpon. I'm by no means an expert with my fly rod got started last year in washing chasing trout and landed a monster rainbow about about 12 pounds now I'm hooked. I would love to try my luck on some big reds or tarpon but need a guide who is understanding and maybe even willing to give some tips when I need them cause I will. Looking to book for this coming sat. Any guides out there or suggestions.

Thanks
Casey

There's a younger guy in Corpus that is doing fly fishing trips. He's a veteran, heard good things.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll be heading out with doc on sat and hoping to land my first red on a fly. Up till now I've only been in fresh water.

Well thanks again guys, on my way back from corpus now. I had the pleasure of the spending the day on the water with doc. He was able to get me on the fish. Saw plenty of big reds and flounders. I was able to catch a few differnt species of fish and had a great time. Look forward to coming back down soon.

Fantastic! Glad you had a great time.

I believe Doc has an Ankona Shadowcast skiff. How did you like it? Been thinking about one and would want to go check Doc's out since he's the Texas rep for Ankona.
