Hello, I'm Captain Chip Pena, a native of Kingsville, TX, just a stone's throw away from the pristine waters of Baffin Bay. My passion for fishing was ignited during my early years as I tagged along with my father and grandfather on their fishing expeditions. Those cherished moments of learning from my elders, setting up gear, and sharing stories over cold beverages are etched in my memory.
My father, a seasoned angler, imparted the essential skills of bottom fishing for drum and redfish. Those formative experiences left an indelible mark on my soul, and I treasure them to this day.
As I grew older, I discovered the thrill of topwater fishing, realizing it offered more action and the chance to reel in sizable trout. I began experimenting with various lures and techniques, which led me to a pivotal decision – I needed a boat. I invested in a used vessel and a map of Baffin Bay to navigate its rocky terrain. Little did I know that not all the rocks were marked on the map – a valuable lesson learned!
With nearly a lifetime dedicated to fishing, I've explored the abundant waters of Baffin Bay, Alazan Bay, Laguna Madre, and their surroundings. My journey into the world of fishing was ignited by my father and grandfather, and their passion continues to burn within me.
Now, as a professional fishing guide with 45 years of experience, I take immense pleasure in sharing my expertise with both seasoned anglers and beginners alike. Whether it's casting with croakers or lures, in the boat, or out, I can set you up for success in Baffin, Alazan, or the Laguna Madre. Baffin Bay is renowned for its colossal speckled trout, trophy redfish, black drum, and flounder – and I'm here to help you reel in the catch of a lifetime.
I currently operate from a Blazer Bay 2420 GTS, perfectly equipped to handle those trademark windy Texas days with ease.
Join me, Captain Chip Pena, at Baffin Bay Hunting & Fishing, and let's embark on an unforgettable fishing adventure together!"
