The San Marcos Rig was created by me, Randy Ramirez, from Austin, Texas.

I grew up fishing around central Texas in rivers, creeks, and lakes with my good friend Andre. We spent many summer days canoeing, camping, and catching fish.

As sometimes happens, I had less time for fishing as I took up other endeavors. Almost 30 years later, I experienced fishing again when our family bought a place on the San Marcos River in Martindale, Texas. I was quickly reminded how much I missed the solititude, patience, and process that river fishing provides. I soon purchased a kayak from T&G Canoes & Kayaks and have spent many days paddling up and down the river.

The more I fished the more I experimented and soon developed the San Marcos Rig. After a lot of testing and catching fish, I started to show others the set up and techniques. They also had success!

My goal with the San Marcos Rig site is to get you fishing with your family and friends and make a bunch of forever memories.

If you’re out on the San Marcos River and you see an orange Falcon 11 Kayak say hi!
