    SPI fishing guide recommendations

    Family will be there in July. Would like to fish a full day ( 4 adults ). Either offshore or bay does not matter. Who have you all been with and would you go back?

    Thanks for the input

    We always have great luck with Lee Alvarez in the bay. Great guy. Fishes out of Jims Pier on the Island. We are going in a few weeks, I am bringing the kayak to fish every morning, but also going with Lee for a half day.

      I do not recommend Andrew Marikos, we went out with him last summer. While he has nice, we didn't have any luck with fish and about 2-3 hours into the day had a mechanical failure and had to be towed in and was still charged half of the trip.

          Capt. Skipper Mock out of SPI or Capt. Vere Wells, the best there are down here for bay fishing. Jack Barton bay fishing also.

            Not catching fish and mechanical problems is all part of the game but he shouldn't have charged you at all.

                Yeah I understand that it is part of the game, but should have been asked to rebook the trip or not charged. He just acted like S^1% happens.

                  Bode's Bay Fishing is a South Padre Island Bay Fishing Charter Guide Service. Bode's Bay Fishing also does, fishing tournaments, firework shows, and night time runs on the bay.

                    Danny or Jeff Neu (twins) in Port Mansfield. They are really good at what they do. You can find them on Facebook if you are on there. Great guys.

                        We fished the last Captain's Tourney with Mock & got screwed out of the 1st place cup...too long of a story to post, but What a day on the water. We slaughtered them.

                        I used to & mostly went with the Petty's out of Vista & need to give them a call to say hey...been a while.
