Great Morning Fishing Trip
Special 5 hour trip for Darrell Lightsey on November 16, 20252 adults

My wife & I really enjoyed a 1/2-day Bay Fishing Trip with Captain Clifford Fleming (Crystal Flats Guide Service, Port Isabel, Tx). His 24’ Shallow Stalker has plenty of power with a new Yamaha SHO 250 Max and a powerful Motor Guide Trolling Motor. The tide was moving out fast and Captain Fleming knew just where to fish for the prevailing wind & water currents that existed that morning. He was a great host and the boat was spacious and comfortable. We caught plenty of my favorite fish, Speckled Trout, and he did a good job filleting them for us. Can’t wait to get back home to fry some up. Next time we vacation in or near South Padre Island, I’ll be setting up another fishing trip with him.

Response from Captain

Thank you so much for the very positive feedback. We could not have chosen a more beautiful day to fish and I do hope you enjoy those delicious speckled trout for dinner. It's always good to come down to South Padre Island for the sun and the weather and Good Times. I'm looking forward to you and Belinda to return soon. I was absolutely thrilled to have you both and couldn't agree more – it truly was a beautiful day out on the water. Indeed there's nothing quite like a fresh catch of Speckled trout from our South Padre Island waters. It's always a pleasure to welcome guests who appreciate the sun, the fantastic weather, and the good times that make South Padre Island such a special destination. I pride myself on providing memorable experiences, and your kind words affirm that we're hitting the mark. I love sharing the beauty and bounty of this area with fellow fishing enthusiasts. I'm already looking forward to your return! Please do let me know when you and Belinda are planning your next trip. I'd be delighted to help you create another unforgettable fishing adventure and enjoy more of those perfect South Padre days. Here's an image of some beautiful speckled trout: Captain Cliff Fleming

Hello Everybody, My name is Captain Cliff Fleming I grew up fishing in the Rio Grande Valley at a very early age. I was guiding people back in 8th grade for big saltwater fish. I lived on the water and my heart is filled with unmatched inspiration to fish and im strongly compelled to fish everyday if possible and my compassion still is the same today. I love people and kids and I am thrilled to teach you how how to fish and feed your minds along the way. As far as I know I'm probably the most experienced 6-pack USCG in the South Padre Island area. I provide top notch equipment and a state of the art vessel for bay fishing. Mostly Im easy going, friendly, fun, and informative about the area and fishing. Available are other trips like Rocket launches, fireworks, dolpin and bird watching, or just an evening sunset cruise. Whether you're a seasoned angler, a vacationer looking to experience prime South Texas fishing, or a beginner, fishing the bountiful Texan waters with Captain Cliff Fleming is an adventure you'll never forget. The captain is a six-pack charter captain with a US Coast Guard license and decades of angling experience.
