Meet Your Captain Doug Allen of Doug Allen Fishing Guide Service

A Lifetime Passion for Fishing

Captain Doug Allen has been fishing since he was three years old, turning his lifelong passion into a career dedicated to helping others enjoy the sport. Whether it's wade fishing with artificial lures or drifting with live bait, Captain Doug enjoys sharing his knowledge to help anglers of all skill levels grow and succeed. Over the years, he has discovered that the thrill of guiding others to their best catches is even more rewarding than reeling in fish himself.

Specializing in Trophy Speckled Trout Fishing

While Captain Doug offers a variety of inshore fishing trips in Corpus Christi, his specialty lies in targeting Trophy Speckled Trout. These trips require patience, precision, and deep knowledge of fish behavior—skills that Captain Doug has honed through years of experience. His expertise in finding and catching these elusive fish makes him one of the top Corpus Christi fishing guides for anglers looking to land their personal best.

Fishing the Upper Laguna Madre

One of Captain Doug’s favorite fishing grounds is the Upper Laguna Madre, a renowned fishery known for producing some of the biggest speckled trout in Texas. He has spent countless hours exploring its waters, fine-tuning techniques, and learning how to read the tides, structure, and bait movements. Whether you're an experienced angler or just getting started, Captain Doug’s experience and enthusiasm will help you improve your skills and increase your chances of landing a trophy catch.

A High-Performance Fishing Boat for the Ultimate Experience

Your fishing trip will take place aboard Captain Doug’s Shoalwater 23 Cat boat, a spacious and stable vessel designed for shallow-water fishing in Laguna Madre and Baffin Bay. This boat comfortably accommodates up to five passengers and is powered by a 250 HP Suzuki engine, reaching speeds of up to 45 knots to ensure you spend more time fishing and less time traveling. Equipped with advanced GPS, fish finders, and navigational electronics, this boat provides all the tools needed to locate the best fishing spots and maximize your time on the water. Whether you're targeting redfish, trout, or flounder, Captain Doug ensures a safe, productive, and enjoyable fishing experience.
