Specialties
Saltwater Mastery
01/
fly Fishing
Experience the ultimate challenge of stalking redfish and speckled trout in inches of crystal-clear water. We focus on visual execution—scanning the flats and placing the perfect cast.
02/
Wade Fishing
For the stealthiest approach possible, we leave the boat behind. Wading the flats allows for quiet movement and up-close encounters with wary fish that boats simply cannot reach.
03/
dove hunts
When the fishing season winds down, Xavier Lopez trades his fishing rod for a shotgun, leading seasonal dove hunts across the Rio Grande Valley. With the same expert local knowledge we put our clients in the best fields South Texas has to offer.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“
Xavier's knowledge of the Lower Laguna Madre is absolute. We spent the day sight casting to trophy reds in water so shallow their backs were out. A world-class outfitter on the Texas coast.
