Dunkin Guide Systems and Captain Douglas invite you to experience the best Texas inshore angling around. With 'No Catch - No Pay' guarantee, you will be able to enjoy a healthy dose of outstanding catches and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Capt. Douglas welcomes fishermen of all ages and skill levels. Introduce your kids to these productive waters and enjoy seeing their smile when they reel in their first ever catch. Or master your cast with an experienced guide who has been fishing South Padre Island for over 3 decades.

You will be checking the bite in the inshore waters, flats, and backcountry. It's also possible to head just a little further out and check other productive spots. You will be trolling, jigging, and light tackle spinning for Tarpon, Sheepshead, Flounder, Black Drum, Mangrove Snapper, Speckled Trout, Snook, Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, and Kingfish.

Dunkin Guide Systems will take you out aboard a 22' Dargle center console, a brand-new fishing machine. This spacious boat comes powered by a single 200 HP Suzuki engine and can cruise at a top speed of 32 knots. The boat can take up to 5 anglers to fish in comfort and style. It is outfitted with a GPS, a fishfinder, a wireless trolling motor for a professional experienced, and a livewell loaded with bait.

All trips include rods, tackle, reels, bait, lures, and a complimentary fish cleaning service. You will need to have a valid Texas fishing license, bring something to eat and drinks, and show up.

    Amazing time at South Padre Island!

    5 Hour Trip - 7:30 AM on July 7, 2026 • 5 adults

    Capt. Dunkin was awesome to fish with. He did a great job coaching the kids how to get the fish on the boat and how to catch trout and Reds on artificial lures. He got us started on Live Croaker and we caught a bunch of under sizd trout, but After we Lost the 1st keeper it looked like we might not get to keep fish. His experience and knowledge of the bay quickly got us turned around. He took is to a remote spot, put us on a drift and enough said...easily caught over 50 fish today. Amazing!

    Capt. said we will catch fish and we sure did!!!

    5 Hour Trip - 8:00 AM on June 27, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    My husband and I took our 12 year old nephew on a bay fishing trip. Capt’s motto is, of you dont catch you dont pay. oh we caught alright-42 keepers and 12 throw backs! Dunkin will put you on fish. He is straight forward and no frills. So, if your kid is sensitive they may not adjuat to him. we had a blast and our nephew caught several different species of fish. We will be back! Now onto fosh tacos, fish fry, grilled fish… Thanks-Capt. Dunkn!

    half day fishing drip

    5 Hour Trip on February 23, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had an awesome experience with Dunkin’ Fishing Guide Services in South Padre. It was an all-around great day on the water — we caught a ton of fish and had a blast the whole time. The guide was knowledgeable, easygoing, and clearly knows these waters well. Whether you’re experienced or just looking for a fun day fishing, they make it enjoyable and productive. Highly recommend if you’re in South Padre and want a fun, successful fishing trip!

    In the words of my son,""This is my best fishing experience so far, it's beginner friendly, catching fish every minute.

    5 Hour Trip on November 12, 2025 • 2 adults

    From start to Finish, Captain Doug Dunkin was spectacular!! I booked this trip for my son, who just turned 19 and is leaving for the Army next month. He wanted to go on a fishing trip for his birthday. I found Capt. Doug's info months back at Dirty Al restaurant ( so delish). I booked trip and Captain D Money called me and we had a wonderful conversation. Now, I call him Captain D Money, cause "fish on" the spot catching is on point! Captain D Money!!!
