fishing report


Captain Theodore Springer is as salty as sodium chloride and one of the most colorful guides on the gulf coast.  Poppy has been fishing the Texas Gulf coast since he was a child.  One of the most accomplished fishermen on the gulf coast, Poppy can get inside a fishes head and think two steps ahead of the fish.  

Fishing with Poppy can be one of the funniest and most exciting experiences one can ever be lucky enough to call their own.  From talking to himself, to talking to fish, at times, he seems to will fish onto his line.  Between phantom conversations, Poppy will impart enough wisdom on clients that they leave thinking they know everything.  However, Poppy's secret is he has forgotten more than most will ever know about fishing.

Captain Ted retired from Anheuser Busch and packed up the Springer clan and moved to Port Mansfield in 1999.  Poppy has fished the lower Laguna Madre exclusively since 1980 except for eventful forays into Brazil, Nicaragua, and most recently Belize.
