Captain Lee’s SPI Fishing Charters invites you to experience private inshore and flats fishing in South Padre Island, Texas, on the productive waters of the Lower Laguna Madre. These trips are built around shallow-water fishing, light tackle techniques, and hands-on guidance from a local captain with decades of experience in the bay. Whether you are new to fishing or already comfortable on the water, Captain Lee tailors every trip to match your goals, comfort level, and the day’s conditions.

Captain Lee runs a modern 21’ Shallow Sport flats boat powered by a 200HP Yamaha SHO, designed specifically for navigating skinny water with ease. The boat features GPS, a livewell, an anchoring system, and plenty of open deck space, allowing up to four anglers to fish comfortably. This setup is ideal for drift fishing, sight-casting, and wade fishing across the shallow flats that make the Laguna Madre famous.

With more than 30 years of experience fishing South Padre Island waters and over a decade as a licensed guide, Captain Lee brings deep local knowledge to every outing. He is a U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Captain and a Texas Parks and Wildlife Licensed Fishing Guide, committed to safety, professionalism, and quality time on the water. His approach emphasizes versatility, adjusting techniques and locations to give guests the best possible opportunities throughout the trip.

Fishing trips focus on popular inshore species such as Redfish, Speckled Trout, Snook, Flounder, Black Drum, and Mangrove Snapper, depending on season and conditions. Captain Lee specializes in light tackle, drift fishing, and wade fishing, using quality All-Star and CastAway rods paired with Shimano reels. All trips include rods, reels, tackle, artificial lures, natural bait when needed, ice, and bottled water.

Captain Lee welcomes anglers of all skill levels and enjoys introducing families and kids to inshore fishing in a relaxed, supportive setting. In addition to half-day and full-day fishing charters, he also offers shorter wildlife and dolphin eco tours and scenic sunset cruises, perfect for guests who want to enjoy South Padre Island from the water without a full fishing focus.

If you are looking for a private fishing charter in South Padre Island that combines local experience, adaptable fishing styles, and a personal approach, Captain Lee’s SPI Fishing Charters delivers a rewarding and memorable day on the Laguna Madre.
