Meet Captain Kade LaFrance

Captain Kade LaFrance turned his passion for fishing the Galveston Bay Complex into a guiding business built around sharing the excitement of the catch. For Kade, fishing is about more than simply putting fish in the boat—it’s about helping people experience the thrill of being on the water and creating memories they’ll talk about long after the trip. He especially enjoys seeing kids and first-time anglers catch their first Redfish or Sea Trout and watching the excitement unfold. That genuine love for fishing and helping others enjoy it is at the heart of every Slicks N’ Slabz trip.

As a Galveston Bay fishing guide, Kade brings extensive experience fishing the local waters and understanding the changing conditions that make every day different. The Galveston Bay Complex offers opportunities to pursue Redfish, Sea Trout, Sheepshead, and Summer Flounder throughout the year. His approach is relaxed, welcoming, and adaptable, making Slicks N’ Slabz a great choice for experienced anglers as well as families and beginners. Kade provides quality tackle and live bait while helping guests feel comfortable and involved throughout their time on the water.

What sets Kade apart is his genuine enthusiasm for sharing the sport. He believes a successful trip is about more than the number of fish caught—it’s about enjoying the process, learning something new, and making memories together. Whether he’s helping a child learn how to handle a rod or showing an experienced angler the productive waters of the Galveston Bay Complex, Kade puts the guest experience first. His focus on relaxed, family-friendly fishing makes Slicks N’ Slabz a welcoming choice for anyone looking to experience fishing in the Texas Gulf Coast area.
