About the Captain & Boat

My name is Jeff Hartung Jr., I am a USCG licensed Captain and a Texas Parks and Wildlife licensed fishing guide. I grew up fishing along the South Texas Gulf Coast, and have become very familiar with the area waters and fish species. I became a fishing guide to pass along my knowledge, experience and skills to others who enjoy fishing. I have been fishing the Lower Laguna Madre exclusively for the past two years targeting Redfish and Speckled Trout along with fishing near shore in the Gulf of Mexico for Tarpon, Kingfish and Sharks.

I fish out of a 22' Blue Wave Super Tunnel with a Yamaha V-Max 150 which will run in less than 12 inches of water making it ideal for sight fishing for redfish on the flats. It is also suited to venture into the Gulf of Mexico to fish for Tarpon, Kingfish and Sharks. It provides a very smooth and dry ride even in the biggest bay chop and handles offshore swells with ease.
