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 , 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.

October is starting off in full fashion. This is the best month of the year to catch a redfish of a lifetime.

  • ★★★★★
    Capt. Fern showed us a great time! He was happy to share his knowledge of the Matagorda fishery and how to get on fish. Conditions weren't great so he offered to extend our trip until my boys limited out on trout. We will be returning to Matagorda this winter due to hospitality, great customer service and overall experience we had with Captain Fern!

    Captain Terry is a very good Boat captain. He kept all of our bait on our hooks. He took care of all of the fish. It was just a great experience. We probably caught 150 fish in six hours and by the end of the tour, I thought my arms were gonna fall off. We will definitely use him again in the future.

    Trip: Half-Day Trip (Matagorda TX)

  • ★★★★★
    We had an absolutely outstanding trip this past Saturday fishing in Matagorda. I took my four sons, and our captain could not have done a better job. From start to finish, he was professional, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure the boys had a great experience. He knew where to go, worked hard to put us on fish, and made the whole day easy and enjoyable. What stood out most to me was how well he treated my sons. He was patient with them, coached them, encouraged them, and made sure each of them felt included. That means a lot to a dad. The boat was clean, the gear was ready, and everything was handled with confidence and care. It was clear we were with someone who knows Matagorda waters and takes pride in giving people a great day on the water. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for a great captain, especially for a family trip, this is the guy. We made some great memories, and my boys are still talking about it. We will definitely be back.

    Captain Jay is absolutely amazing! My husband and I just got home from our 5hr trip and we couldn’t be more pleased. Jay is informative, funny, and makes you feel incredibly comfortable on the water. His vast knowledge of fishing left us with new techniques that we’ll be able to use from here on out. If you’re looking for a stellar guide for you or your family/friends, don’t look any further. Jay is definitely your guy. We will absolutely book with him again! -Anna and Cian
