Fishing remains consistent when the weather has made it possible to fish. Still plenty of trout in most spots, with the typical higher numbers of juvenile trout caught in summertime. Still finding trout in Galveston Bay suspended in 6' of water close to oysterbeds. We've been seeing plenty of redfish if the customers are willing to wade and/or pay extra for croaker as bait. Shrimp had yielded mostly undersized trout and unwanted by catch.

Fishing has been a bit slow with the weather we've had lately. Although the fishing seems to be getting better. I apologize for the late response, it's been a busy week.

We had a windy day and even so, Capt. Mike knew where to go. We limited out on Trout very quickly. While we only got to keep 1 Red we did catch several. We will go with Capt, Mike again in the future. I would rate this experience from 1 to 10 as a 15.

Captain Lance is a highly knowledgeable fisherman and a lot of fun. These high school seniors had an unforgettable fishing trip, creating lasting memories along the way. I would absolutely book with Captain Lance again.

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.

Bobby was a great captain we booked him for two days and he produced so many fish and such a great time. He knew the water as well and was a great assistant to my son in landing a huge 35 pound drum. I also got one, but I’m not talking about it.
