Spired Charters

I have been fishing plenty of times throughout my life but that mostly consisted of trips to the Lake or small pond fishing for Bass, catfish, crappie and similar freshwater fish. I had never experienced Bay fishing before I scheduled that first trip with Captain Clayton Mock; and what an exciting and different experience it is from what I was used to. First off, I was under the assumption that we might have to go out into deeper waters which made me a little nervous because of how choppy the ocean can get but it turns out you stay in between the Island and the mainland where the waters are almost always calm and perfect. There are also plenty of spots where you are fishing in only a few feet of water which allows you to see so many different kinds of marine life. Capt Clayton Mock has been fishing these waters since he was child so he knows all the best spots. Not only that but his equipment is topnotch; everything from the Rods, to the lures, to the Boat; I felt confident with all aspects of the trip. Now for the best part; catching fish. I couldn’t believe how different this experience was from the fishing I was used to. It’s definitely like nothing I had ever experienced. The Redfish put up a tremendous, yet manageable, fight. Every time you hook one you are in for a treat. And trust me, he put us on plenty of fish which gave us a lot of exciting moments. We also caught Trout which aren’t as strong as the Redfish but they have some wicked front teeth and I even caught the crazy looking flounder (which can be tricky to do at times and honestly wouldn’t have been possible without the direction and advice of Capt Clayton). I have been fishing with Captain Clayton Mock twice now, once with a friend and once with my dad, and both experiences were very enjoyable and very successful. I absolutely plan to go back because I really want to take my girlfriend. This is definitely a fishing trip that can be enjoyed by anyone.
P. S. Heading out from the Marina as the sun rises is icing on the cake. It’s so beautiful out there on the water so don’t forget to take pictures and most importantly enjoy your day!!!

My wife and I recently made a trip down to South Padre to get out of the hustle of Houston life. While there we decided to book a fishing trip, as I love to fish and my wife is starting to get the bug too (this makes me a very happy man). We stumbled across one of Captain Clayton’s business cards and decided to give him a shot.
We had a blast fishing. Ended up catching a bunch of trout and pulled in some big reds to top things off! Clayton was a fantastic guide helping me spot fish all while teaching my wife some good tips and tricks.
The best part of the trip was when my wife hooked into a hard fighting big red. At first she panicked and tried handing the pole off. Clayton ran over and coached her through the process. By the end of it she was so happy she didn’t hand the rod off, because now she hangs it over my head that she caught the biggest fish that day.
Thanks Clayton we will be back down again soon!
