Fishman can put you on fish for sure. -Easy E Need to thank Fishman for the advice. He knows his stuff. -Greg If you want trout - then you MUST give FISHMAN a call - simple as that. -Ken Blesker I to had a very positive experience with FISHMAN. I would recommend his services to anyone. For fishing in South Texas, he is a great untapped resource........... and I too look forward to washing my hooks with him again. -Tim swindler I want to express my appreciation to Fil for not only putting me on some fish but for all of the tips, advice, and patience, extended to me. I certainly look forward to doing it again. Mr. Fil definately reminds me of one of my favorite hunting dogs way back when. He's always ready to go and I'm usually the person who says Hey man, I've got to get home. He's put me on a bunch of fish, taught me the best tactics to use to catch the fish.- Kyle EVERYTIME that I've been on the water with Fil has been an unbelievable experience. Heck, the other night he even showed me how to catch the elusive "floating wallet in a baggy" fish . If you want to fish anywhere in the Corpus area, give the guy a call. -SkinnyFeet Fil is a class act all the way and he can catch fish. He is a excellent
teacher and made sure we were having fun. Fil not only loves fishing
and kayaking...he respects the environment as evidenced by him cleaning
our access point. He bagged and removed four huge bags of trash full
of glass beer bottles, cans, fishing line and other unsightly debris.
If anyone out there is looking for a great kayak/fishing teacher....give
him a call. He is a true class act! Hey Fil Just want to thank you for all the advise you gave me at the Captians round table last year, Im now catching trout and reds, and need to work on flounder. I learned so much from you,YOUR GREAT, a lot newbies look up to you, because you like to help. I did get into the Reds yesterday and had a blast, all released unless i plan to eat them. Some day I will fish with you. -Gary MacGregor Sr.
I have been out with many fishing guides chasing the beautiful and elusive Redfish but have never had as much success in both quantity and size that we had with you, Capt. Fil. We will definitely be back many more times in the months and years to come. Take care. -GG Páez Thank you for your hard work and an enjoyable guided fishing trip. -Barry I am glad I took the trip with you because I haven't done much fishing since due to weather and child being sick. The few times I have gone I have not stopped to buying live bait and managed to catch a few small ones on lures. Again Thanks. -Tom. I would like to start out again by thanking you for everything. I had a great day on the water the day we went out. It was nice to get out there with some one with as much experience as you. We really nailed those trouts and had a nice stringer to bad the reds didn't feel like playing to much that day. I learned a lot from you that day and you helped me get my confidence up working lures and being comfortable with what I was doing. It was well worth the money and time. It made the rest of my fishing trip a success. Especially when I went down to Baffin Bay 2 days later and caught 4 reds in 4 hours. A 24in., 27 1/2 in., 30 in., and a personal best 38 in bull red that I released after taking a picture with it. I also just went back to Baffin and caught a 24 in., a 27 in. red, and another personal best 25 1/2in. 5 lbs. trout, along wi th a 21 in., 19 in., and 15 inch trout. Thanks Again. -Daniel Solis This was the first time I’ve ever been Kayak fishing and it was
an awesome experience. Never before have I ever been in the back ‘lakes’
where schools of redfish can be found and where no one else generally
fishes. I enjoyed the tranquil waters as well as the adventurous travels
with my Kayak. Thanks for a great time and we look forward to ‘hooking’
up again in the near future. This was a=2 0Thanksgiving to remember. I spent a couple of months
watching Captain Fil's videos over and over saying "No Way,"
"Unbelievable," and of course "Awesome" all the
while I kept leaning back in my chair as if I was reeling in the fish
on my screen. Those videos became a reality!!! I was part of the action
and hooked my share of reds in no time. Since there was plenty of time
I kept "upgrading" my reds and brought in one nice flounder.
The kayaks, rods, reels, and essential gear are excellent and made for
easy paddle to fish heaven. I left that day with fish, knowledge, and
confidence when I am in the water. Captain Fil aka Fishman I felt comfortable
and even as if I had known him for awhile. Give a man fish and he is
fed for a day. Teach him to fish and he is fed for a lifetime. Congrats to Team Ocean they are some great fisherman and great sportsman.
Especially Fil. I just wanted to say on 2 occasions I happened upon
the same spot he was fishing and both times observed great sportsmanship
that went above and beyond what would be expected. The first was in
Port Isabel when Myself and Neuces Bay just happened by dumb luck to
launch at the same location as team ocean. After paddling across a flat
filled with oysters everywhere Dave realized he forgot his sunglasses
at the truck. Dave was about to turn around when Fil overheard and said
" Hey man I gotta an extra pair of Costas you can use". I
thought wow and here we are competing against each other. The second
was in Port Oconnor and again by my dumb luck I picked the same spot
as Fil. we didnt launch together but ended up at the same spot. I was
having pretty good luck catching reds and by the sound of it he was
also. Another fisherman was there and not having the same luck I am
not sure if he was in the tourney or not but he asked Fil what bait
he was using and how was he catching these reds. Fil paddled over and
showed the man exactly what he had tied on and showed him the reds on
the bank and not in the deeper water were he was fishing.
Well after spending 2 days with the FISHMAN on a guided trip showed that we where not quite ready for the big time. That was20the most AWESOME EXPERIANCE. I learned so much that it raised my CONFIDANCE 1000% He tough us boat handeling how to read open water new bait rigging tips how to paddle our boats and MUCH MORE we promised we would not talk about. So if I'm going to enter any tourniment's and feel I have no chance to win and was just going to make a DONATION to the 6 or 8 who is expected to win I would rater give to the FISHMAN just to have another couple of trips with him that we had a month ago THAT WOULD BE MY WIN AND TROPHY TO. FISHMAN I want you to KNOW that there are MANY GREAT things people with have in the life and moments as well. YOU JUST DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THAT TRIP MADE ME FEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you. -Will. Thanks again for the recent guide trip. I was very impressed with the
Prowler 13. I never knew you could stand and sight cast from a kayak. Hi Fil, Had a great time fishing for the big reds. The topwater lure worked great. The way the fish were attacking the lure was awesome! -David I can honestly say that Fil the Fishman has invited me to call him anytime I am down.. I have met him and he's a top notch person.. I haven't fished with him yet but I've talked about him many times to other anglers headed down his way. I've used a guide once and that was off-shore in 1999. But I will say that Fil is the #1 person on my list that I want to fish with before I leave this world.. He's great, nice and honest and won't begrudge info to anyone because he honestly wants folks to catch fish with or without him.. He's not about the money.. He's about the experience and he is truly a wonderful person...Your report is another great report and I've never heard of a person having an "average" experience with him.. What I really want is to hit a night trip with him.. I've dreamt and thought about that for years since the old days of the EEF when I met him... Great guy... Last Thurs. and Fri. the Poor Boy Fishing Team hooked up with Capt. Fil (Fishman) Spencer for an Outstanding Kayak Redfishing trip. The Fishman put us on fish from daylight to dark. Short of giving up all of the tricks, let me just say that the TOPWATER bite was on in the Rockport area. After learning a few tips and tricks, (which were given with excitement and enthusiasm), we finished Thurs. just short of 3 limits (in the boat), with no shortage of blow-ups and hookset misses (we were rusty). On Friday, the excitement continued. We finished with 3 limits of Reds, 23-26", and a few trout to spare. On Sat., the team decided to go back to the same area (with the Fishman's blessing), and finished the day with 4 Reds 22-27"and a few trout to boot. Again, there was no shortage of blow-ups and misses. If you are considering a trip to the Rockport area and want to learn how to fish the bays from a kayak, I highly recommend a trip with the Fishman. His excitement and willingness to show you how to catch fish is unparalleled. Thanks, Capt. Fil for the great trip, tips and tricks and making our experience something that will be used and remembered for years to come. I am just getting back situated in Houston. Great to be home…
When asked, “how was the vacation?” Guess what comes to mind?
You got it, our kayak fishing trips at the Lighthouse Lakes. My buddies
sure are jealous when I tell them the story about all of the big Reds
on top water lures and tailing Reds on soft plastics. I went by Gander
Mountain today and was able to pick up a 7’ 6” Kistler rod
to go with the Shimano spinning reel I got while in Corpus. Hope you
are catching up on your rest. Thanks for taking us out yesterday, we had a great time learning the
ropes for topwater. I’m hooked! We were barely able to get Jack
on his plane back to Arizona but luckily we did it. Cleaning the fish
was an experience as I did the first 2 and gave Michael the knife for
his first try at it…might need some more practice. Anyway, it was
fun and I’m ready to go again. Julie and I really enjoyed our kayak trip with our grandsons. We appreciate
Kudos to Capt.Fil for a job well done!!20 My first kayak fishing trip
is one for the books!! I'm hooked on South Texas fishing thanks to Phil's
guidance and Austin Townsend and myself hit the water on 3/14 with guide Filip “Fishman”
Spencer in Aransas Pass. It would be the first kayak fishing trip for
the both of us. The weather was tough. It was cold and wet. Most thought
we were crazy not to re-schedule, but luckily we are optimists and fishing
maniacs. A good combo in this case. We set out paddling against the
wind but managed to make it to our first spot. Austin caught the first
fish right away which really fired me up. We caught over 20 fish and
reached our limit despite the challenging conditions. Special thanks
to the Fishman for putting us on the fish. -Another satisfied customer
