Welcome


With nearly 50 years experience fishing the waters of the Laguna Madre, Baffin Bay, and Padre Island, Captain Billy L. Sandifer has long been recognized as an expert on all types of Texas saltwater fishing. Sandifer Offers NEARSHORE GULF OF MEXICO AND VARIOUS BAY LITE TACKLE AND BIG GAME CHARTERS.

His renowned surf fishing trips down the Padre Island National Seashore have been the subject of numerous TV shows and magazine and newspaper articles most recently with  BILL SHERCK OF "LEGENDS WITH ROD AND REEL"

   The surf produces trout, whiting, and keeper redfish all year long with huge trout available in numbers in winter!

  "I have never OFFICIALLY mandated a just keep 5 policy on my charters but due to the large amount of trout being killed in the N. Laguna Madre at this time I am doing so now." Any numbers of guides are joining in an effort in hopes it will start a trend that might influence the Texas Parks and Wildlife Dept. into lowering the limits to protect the continued well being of the resource. I am proud to be a part of this on going movement.

Recently I took my 25 ft. Mexican Panga to the Hobbs family. It was bare hull with no deck and a tiller outboard.These hull designs are not easy to work on and required lots of ingenuity that could only be dealt with efficiently by a superior,  long term boat builder. The results were awesome, the prices very  reasonable, the waiting time minimal and the Hobbs' family charming  to deal with. If you need any major or minor hull repair or  modifications on your current boat I strongly recommend them.
