Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Paco consistently delivers exceptional fishing results, with customers regularly catching limits of trout and impressive redfish up to 28.5 inches. He demonstrates remarkable adaptability by changing bait, locations, and targeting different species to keep the action going all day. Multiple families report catching 30+ fish in single trips, with Paco's expertise allowing him to identify what's on the line just by watching the rod bend. Paco creates memorable experiences for anglers of all ages, showing exceptional patience teaching children as young as 5 and 6 years old proper fishing techniques. His well-maintained boat provides plenty of casting room, and he takes time to teach water reading skills and proper casting locations. Customers consistently return year after year and describe lengthy conversations that convinced them to choose his services over other guides.

Cpt. Paco did a great job changing up bait, location and species to get us on the bite. We had a great trip!

Trip - South Padre Bay Fishing Charter for Speckled Trout and Redfish on December 11, 2023

6:00 AM - 9:00 AM

Second year in a row, we have booked Captain Paco. Was an incredible experience. Action all day! We caught at least 30 fish today! Only able to keep 6 due to regulations. Boat was clean and in exceptional shape. Captain taught our 8 year old how to fish very well. Will book again next year for our yearly trip. Highly recommend his services for anglers of any skill level.

Trip - South Padre Bay Fishing Charter for Beginners on November 20, 2023

We couldn't have drafted a more perfect trip. Paco put us on the spot to be for sure!! We started our day with a double on our "over" red drum fish, then continued to bend rods as we caught our limit and then some. Which attracted attention of some other boats, but they came and left empty as we continued to net fish! Paco is exactly the person I search for as I book hunts and charters, just a good person trying to make an honest living. Thankfully after sorting through many other websites I narrowed my search and called Paco. Then upon the phone call, which turned into lengthy conversation, I knew this is the person to choose. Not a guide looking to slam as many trips into their schedule diluting the value of your vacation. He's looking to maximize the excitement of each trip and that message is clear with his investment into the larger and nicer boat he uses.

Fishing with Paco Hinojosa was an A+ experience! There were 3 of us to include a 5 year old. We went out for 6 hours and he was super knowledgeable, efficient and patient! He was eager to answer all the 5 year olds questions as well as our own. He took us to many spots and we did very well. He can tell you what's on your line just by watching the pole. He is very friendly and helpful! We took back gallon sized ziplocs full of different types of fish that he cleaned and filleted for us back at the dock! Customers for life every time we are back in the South Padre area! Book him, you won't regret it!

Captain Paco is very knowledgeable about the area and is a fantastic teacher. We were visiting SPI on vacation and originally booked an offshore charter with SPI Fish Killer Charters. Paco contacted me a few days before the charter and let me know that the weather was going to be unfavorable for offshore fishing but offered to take us on the bay instead. We happily accepted and had a blast! He has a very well laid out boat with plenty of room for casting and moving around. Paco had us try multiple locations and baits. He also took the time to teach us techniques to use and how to read the water to know where to cast. I would gladly book another fishing trip with Captain Paco!

My teen boys and I had a blast with Captain Paco. Caught our limit on nice sized trout, and then some great Reds - biggest was 28.5”. Both of my boys really enjoyed learning from Captain Paco (so did I). Thanks for the amazing time, Captain Paco - looking forward to coming back again!
