This type of traveling with fishing/traveling/camping is why I bought an Escapade Backcountry camper. Its easily towable at 1500lbs, comes with a roof rack and kayak tie down points with a queen bed and a/c. Makes doing this fun and the family loves to join in.
Awesome video, & exclamation on catching that Snook. Having grown up in Coastal Bend area. this sure makes me homesick. Great comaradiere with other guy showing you around. Sure glad i found your channel. Thanks for show, I'm Still catching up on your videos.
That fish was amazing. I was told by a guide that there are not many red fish in the Lower Laguna Madre. Guess with the right area and lure you can catch them.
Hey Nick, your first spot is called La Bahia Grande on Highway 48. This is where I came up with my TH-cam channel name- Anglers 48... It is now illegal to fish there. This place used to be an open field so one year because of all the sand that was accumulating on the highway they made a man-made channel and filled the field. This place has massive reds and trout. My biggest trout was 33" on a seven inch mullet.
Nick, all of these fish down here fight like a freight train. Next time you plan on coming down, hit me up. I'll put you on some monster specks, red, flounder, and snook. I've got lots of buds who frequent the Lower Laguna Madre who could help you out as well. Congrats on your monster snook! Thanks for an awesome video. Wish I would've known you were down, I would've shown you around to better spots. Peace.
I very much appreciate your videos. The ultralight works, use a bit stronger line, cut off the first few feet before each outing or if it feels frayed, and use your drag.
Man I used to stay out the back of my bronco, a short guy so I chopped down a fold down cot and converted the back into a sleeper, with an electric burner. Used to pack my kayak up top. Loved it
That’s where I got hooked with fishing; my first snook was 28” and put up one hell of a fight… got it using a silver spoon underneath that low hanging bridge… since then I’ve caught many snook here in south Texas and is my favorite fish to catch… they are a great fighting fish 🎣
Nice snook! That’s a solid snook here in Tampa , but a monster in Texas. If you had fun with that , you need to hit up Tampa Bay and catch a 40 incher!
Some Anglers fish behind the Padre Island conversation center. I have never fished there before. There is a spot across from HEB in Port Isabel. There are dead end roads there that lead to the Bay. Good luck tomorrow.
DUDE - i've seen several of your trout videos and I always knew the day would come when you needed a BIGGER net! That day has arrived - go get a bigger net DUDE! Nice fish. I haven't caught a snook that big since I left south Florida years ago.
Man can't tell you how much this new content is appreciated. Stepping out of your comfort zone and putting in the work is awesome. And to tag a monster snook is INCREDIBLE. More different content PLEASE!!!
Bro I was born and raised in Port Isabel!! Know all the fishing spots down there. My whole family lives down there!! Now I'm knew this the H-Town area and don't know where to go. Great videos keep up the good work. 👍👊✊🤘
Wow! Nick got his PB. Have you ever caught a snook? Just wondering because you were really having fun. Loved the idea of your guide (Javier) helping you. That was the last place I went fishing.
Rx, I use ultra light tackle for reds,Snook and trout all the time with 15lb braid and 30in shock leader with an fg knot. BTW 30+ Snook are very common and even larger in Brownsville Ship Channel. Im glad you had some fun catching that Snook with light tackle. I have a Shimano Calcutta CQ 50DC for sale in great condition if you know anyone interested.
I lived down there for 3 years Laguna Vista, port Isabel n South Padre to fish every day I could. Go down there in November u will see huge flounders ... My friend caught 54 in snook in south bay on a boat. I fished the isla Blanca jetty hard too. I wonder if u can get out to the port Mansfield jetty launching from Raymondville port Mansfield boat launch. U can catch tarpon there.
In the late 70's I caught a fingerling sized snook in a cast net in Galveston. Have never seen an adult sized one though. One of the species I've always wanted to catch.
Your second spot is called Gayman's Bridge. This place is infested with oyster beds. I have never made it that far because I am afraid oyster will damage my prop. Beautiful snook Nick. Get a bigger net.lol. How about RGV fishing????? I sure need to try that bug you use. We got to get Mark down here too.
Congrats on your first Snook. That was a beauty! Great edit on this adventure. Reds of equal size fight so much harder, but you don't get the acrobatics like the Snook show.
I went surf fishing this past Tuesday & all I caught was small sand trout. Better than gettin skunked but not what I was hoping for. I need to get out more, gotta study different locations round the island.
I know you kayak fish all the time, but do you ever go on a boat? Happy to invite you to come fish with my son and I in West Bay, Cold Pass, and Bastrop.
Hey Nick, your channel is very addictive. My wife and I spent several hours watching several episodes. I am still trying to get my wife to sit through some of my videos. My wife enjoys the videos where you and your wife go fishing. Take care buddy. Anglers 48.
Wow that's amazing bro. I have family out there, I need to take a trip down there and explore the area too. I been invited by my uncles but have not had a chance to get down there. GREAT video. Tight lines.
The travel videos are what got me to Subscribe. I not only enjoy the fishing, but the travel, cooking, restaurants, and area info are great!

Cool the "Boat Ramp" caught lots of trout and flounder there.

Hi Nick, great to see you fish our neighborhood, fishing San Martin lake for snook is top of the line!!
Saludos amigo🎣
Nick, that was epic bro!
Nice job in lower laguna madre
Palacios and Port La Vaca are also great places for big reds,and Big Speckle Trout,especially February,March and April.
cheers from Trinity Bay TX/ Anahuac area...nice trip down south bro, congrats on the snookie
Man I used to stay out the back of my bronco, a short guy so I chopped down a fold down cot and converted the back into a sleeper, with an electric burner. Used to pack my kayak up top. Loved it
My home waters!
on the way back up 77 nick brought back a few ounces
Not a bad first snook, especially for Texas!👍. You'll probably have to come over to S. Florida to beat that one.
Great video. You should try fishing at Port Mansfield, TX.
That’s where I got hooked with fishing; my first snook was 28” and put up one hell of a fight… got it using a silver spoon underneath that low hanging bridge… since then I’ve caught many snook here in south Texas and is my favorite fish to catch… they are a great fighting fish 🎣

Awesome fish 👍. I love the spi we always have a blast, I'll be there in October for a week. Fish fellas...
welcome to our land
Good video!
Fished there all my life. Great fishing. Next time try south bay through Boca Chica beach. Monster Reds Trout.
DUDE - i've seen several of your trout videos and I always knew the day would come when you needed a BIGGER net! That day has arrived - go get a bigger net DUDE! Nice fish. I haven't caught a snook that big since I left south Florida years ago.
Very Impressive
Yeah good video. I have never caught a snook. They look like fun. I started to Ofer you a Zanax after that snook.

Sweet catch you ever come back down again there's other places to launch that have good fish
Wow! Nick got his PB. Have you ever caught a snook? Just wondering because you were really having fun. Loved the idea of your guide (Javier) helping you. That was the last place I went fishing.
yeah. i went with you if i remember Poy. big snook i lost that day but got 3 gator trout. Lets hit it soon brother.
Great video, we caught 92 specs in 2 days same weekend in port Mansfield. Boat not kayak. Once again great video
Nice Snooks Brother Congratulations. Maybe we can fish sharks from the beach one day it could be great 👍
Under that bridge you went under is prime when it gets a bit colder or too hot.
Rx, I use ultra light tackle for reds,Snook and trout all the time with 15lb braid and 30in shock leader with an fg knot. BTW 30+ Snook are very common and even larger in Brownsville Ship Channel. Im glad you had some fun catching that Snook with light tackle. I have a Shimano Calcutta CQ 50DC for sale in great condition if you know anyone interested.
Now we're talkin
If you go back down to south Padre Island you should definitely hit up South Bay or mesquite flats. Definitely worth it.
Try gaymans bridge....it is infested with nice size snook....
Try tandem rigs which have worked for me
To all you TH-cam fishermen, thanks for the effort on the content. Love the videos. But the word "juicy", can you guys give it a rest?
You're not in Galveston anymore... gonna need a bigger net than that down here buddy. Nice catch!
When are you coming back? Let’s go! I live near by
It is a special fishing research company in Korea.
I've seen a great video of your visit today.
The bridge you first went under is packed with snook.
where exactly is that> is that off highway 100?
@@randycapello8125 yes.
