Rio Hondo sits along the Lower Laguna Madre, one of Texas's most productive inshore fishing areas. The shallow grass flats hold redfish and speckled trout, while deeper channels attract flounder and black drum. Water clarity is typically excellent, allowing for sight fishing opportunities when conditions align. The area's consistent fish populations and varied structure make it ideal for anglers of all skill levels.
Our charters focus on light tackle fishing techniques that maximize the fight and enjoyment. Whether you're targeting slot redfish in the shallows or working deeper water for larger trout, Captain Steven adapts techniques to match conditions and your experience level.
Rio Hondo's fishing remains productive throughout the year, with each season offering different opportunities. Spring and fall typically provide the most comfortable weather and active fish. Summer fishing starts early to beat the heat, while winter offers some of the year's largest trout. Tidal movement plays a key role in fish activity, with moving water generally producing better results than slack periods.
Wind direction affects water clarity and fish behavior significantly. Southeast winds tend to muddy the water, while north winds clear it up and often improve fishing conditions. Captain Steven monitors weather patterns closely and adjusts fishing locations accordingly to ensure the best possible experience.
