About Terry Neal

Captain Terry Neal of Port Mansfield, Texas is one of the leading fishing guides in South Texas. With more than 25 years of experience fishing the lower Texas coast, especially the Laguna Madre, Capt. Neal is considered one of the best in the industry.

Capt. Neal specializes in wade fishing the flats of the Laguna Madre. "There is nothing like a big trout or redfish blowing up on a top water bait." There are also numerous first-hand accounts of his journeys and fishing logs documented in his journals. One such entry reads:

“We were wading in eight to ten inches of water over a grass-and-sand bottom. We had been fishing the area for about two weeks and it had been holding a lot of fish. One day there would be redfish and the next day there would be trout, back and forth. This day, though, the trout were just cruising along under the redfish, in their shadow almost. You would see one to three trout following them. The trick was to get the fly in a position close enough to the trout so you didn't catch the redfish. That made it exciting.”

Captain Neal now heads Terry Neal Charters in Port Mansfield and is ready to offer you the ultimate fishing experience in the area. Laguna Madre is one of the hottest spots for saltwater fishing in the world and Terry Neal Charters can take you on expertly guided fishing tours through the Laguna Madre.
