Looking to book a vacation to S Padre island in August. Looking to put my son on a Tarpon and a Snook. Who’s the go to guides in this area?

I’m dragging my Majek with me, but I’m not familiar with the area at all and would hate to get skunked on vacation 🤣

Thanks guys!!

I have never fished for tarpon here in Texas, but I used to guide for them in the Fla. Keys. I guess in some small way, I'm still burned out on them. But if I had to catch them here, I would head to the jetties on a very low outgoing tide. Fishing is easier after the current slows down a little bit. Look for schools rolling on one side or the other. Tarpon feed best at night. At that, you'll probably see the best action at first light and then again at dusk.
