Welcome To Gator Trout Lodge & Gear...

A "Gator Trout" is the nickname for a giant, angry Speckled Trout, typically measuring 25 inches or more. The term has been used by Texas anglers since the 1980's but our mission is to make the name recongized everywhere along the Gulf Coast - just like the famous "Bull Red."

Benz Galindo, owner of the Gator Trout Lodge & Gear celebrates the thrill of targeting these incredible fish while sharing the lifestyle, gear and traditions that make coastal fishing special. Following Texas' updated trophy trout regulations, these giants have become even more respected, earning their place as one of the Bay's most prized catches.
