034 – Topwater Texas with Hector Quintero

The view is always better from the top … Guest Profile

Hector Quintero works in logistics for an import/export business
in McAllen, Texas. But when he is not delivering the goods, he’s
chasing the fish. Redfish, that is. You see, Hector’s home water
is the Laguna Madre. It’s flats boat heaven, and an awesome
inshore fishery for trout and redfish. In this episode, Hector
tells us about the first time he got turned on to topwater
fishing for reds. Ever since, he’s gone topside for more of those
incredible blow ups that never get old.

Fishing experience

Hector focuses on the saltwater species in the Laguna Madre.
These include redfish (red drum), spotted sea trout, snook,
flounder, and jack crevalle. Hector also has a team and fishes
tournaments in the Laguna Madre. Their favorite style of fishing
is to locate redfish from the flats boat. Then, they take to the
water and wade to the fish. Of course, Hector’s favorite way to
catch redfish is with a topwater lure. Walk the dog and wake the
red!
