The fall bite has been great and only getting better. I've been doing more working than guiding lately. Here's a photo from the last trip.

Redfish have been plentiful in the bays ,rivers and, back lakes. Trout bite is good when the wind allows us to get out into the bay. Flounder are starting to fill channels and drains on their big move to spawn. Live shrimp under a popping cork, gulp on a jighead...

Flounder are starting to fill channels and drains on their big move to spawn. Live shrimp under a popping cork, gulp on a jighead , and free lining mullet have been the ticket.

October has been producing well this year, plenty of flounder and redfish being caught. The trout have been biting well also. With water temps dropping the fish are definitely moving and eating well.

Hi Hannah, Our October has been great so far. Redfish and flounder have been great using artificial lures and live shrimp along the grass lines, marsh drains and reefs.

    Capt. Jeff put us on some fish!! Took us to a few places that each produced. I’d definitely go fishing with Jeff in the future.

  • ★★★★★
    Never use Captain Experiences for booking a fishing trip. They keep a huge sum of money up front-- money that I would prefer to go those who actually do the work- the fishing guide.

    Trip: Palacios Angling Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    Joe was extremely knowledgeable about spots to hit. Even when other captains weren’t catching anything, he found a way to get us to spots where we, not only caught 3 large redfish, but quite a bit of other fish. The tour was extremely enjoyable and a lot of fun. I would highly recommend Joe. A Great a time!!

    Captain Ron was very pleasant and worked hard to put us on fish. Unfortunately, the fish were hard to come by today. Tough weather conditions made for a challenging day. I would like to go out with him again.

    Terry was by far the best guide we’ve had in Matagorda! It’s obvious he knows the bay & where the fish are, in addition to being very personable and attentive to our team. A++++

    We had a late cancellation from another captain and were excited that Jordan could fit us in on short notice. Great day out and came home with fish…good times!

    Trip: Half-Day Trip (Matagorda TX)

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Reyes did an outstanding job. My son and I had planned to meet him in Matagorda and fish East Matagorda Bay. A few days before the trip, he texted suggesting that we meet him in Palacios and fish West Matagorda Bay because he’d had several days of good catches there. We agreed and had a great day on the water. We caught our limit of speckled trout and had a good haul of black drum. He was very attentive and hardworking. I highly recommend him.
