Captain Miguel Uresti brings over a decade of professional fishing experience to the waters of South Texas. Based in Rio Hondo, TX, he has spent years guiding anglers through the region’s bays, flats, and channels. His calm and knowledgeable approach makes him a favorite among both beginners and returning clients, and his ability to adapt to each guest’s needs ensures a relaxed and productive day on the water.
Captain Miguel’s expertise covers a wide range of fishing techniques, including light tackle, heavy tackle, drift fishing, and bowfishing. He is also highly experienced in flounder gigging, a popular nighttime method in shallow coastal waters. His deep understanding of local fish behavior and seasonal patterns allows him to put clients in the right place at the right time, increasing both confidence and catch rates throughout the trip.
With a focus on safety, skill-building, and enjoying the process, Captain Miguel works closely with guests to make each charter experience rewarding. His trips are not just about catching fish—they’re about learning the waters, practicing techniques, and enjoying the coastal setting. He’s known for creating a friendly, low-pressure atmosphere where guests can ask questions, try new gear, and build their skills at their own pace.
Captain Miguel operates a 21-foot Shallow Sport center console that has been fully updated for comfort and performance. Powered by a 450 HP Yamaha engine, the boat is built for shallow-water access and quick travel across the bay. It’s outfitted with a wireless trolling motor for quiet maneuvering, a live well to keep bait fresh, and an ice box to store your catch. Designed for small groups of up to three anglers, this vessel is ideal for inshore and nearshore trips throughout the South Padre Island region.
