Mr. Charlie Batts recommends Captain Rick Loveday for speckled trout and redfish fishing. Mr. Batts reports that Rick is the best bay fishing guide that he has fished with. Rick uses live bait or lures and boat or wade fishes. Whatever it takes to catch fish! He leaves the dock at first light and normally put in an eight to nine hour day unless they limit out early. When they limit out on trout he'll go try to find the reds. He specializes in big trout. He fishes the Laguna Madre, Baffin Bay and the Land Cut. Early in the Spring he wades Baffin Bay with top water lures or soft plastics. He supplies everything except your food and drinks. For wade trips you fish with your own rod and reel. He supplies stringers and bait buckets if needed. One of his clients won 5th place in the STAR tourney this year with a 31 1/2" Speck. It weighed 10 lbs when he caught it and they had a 10.10 lb. speck the day before. His rates are $450.00 for two people and $75.00 for each additional person up to 4 people total. He can handle large groups and get as many boats as you need. Rick can be reached at 361-368-2422 (Home) or 361-946-1182 (Cell). His address is P.O. Box 1691, Odem, TX 78370. Mr. Batts states that Rick is a gentleman.
