Fishing has been good here in Matagorda. The heavy rains, last week, slowed things to a halt but we're back on fish now.
Tailing reds in the clear waters of West Matagorda Bay have been worth chasing. Crab patterns have proven the most effective.

Wade fishing for trout has been really good
Sheephead at the jetties are slowing down as we get to the middle of April
Slot reds along with some bull reds have been steady
Most of the trout at the jetties have been over sized but fun to catch
Flounder are starting to make their way back to the bays. I had a wade fishing trip last Saturday where we caught our trout and 14 flounder 6 of which were over 16"

Jordan was a fantastic guide! He took my two young boys and I to all the hot spots and we maxed out our catch on Spotted Sea Trout. Looking forward to taking another fishing trip in Matagorda Bay with Jordan. 🎣
Memories were made that will never be forgotten.....We took our 15 year old grandson on our fishing trip with Pat. The trip was memorable for multiple reasons. Pat was very professional, cheerful and very accommodating. He took us to where the redfish were biting and our grandson landed his first really big Redfish - one of many we caught during our time with Pat. It was thrilling for all of us as we all managed to land very Large Redfish with Pat's help. We also landed some nice trout during our outing. Would definitely recommend Pat as a guide we had a great time
Jordan was great, very courteous or is on fish right away. We had some weather come in early. We regrouped he stayed positive and we went back out and continued to catch fish. He was great to fish with!!!! Definitely recommend Jordan.
The water conditions could not have been worse but Captain Pat worked extremely hard poling through the very shallow flats and mud to put us on the fish. I would strongly recommend Capt. Pat for a flounder gigging trip.
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 Benny was absolutely a pleasure to fish with. He immediately felt like a long time friend when setting up plans and even made rescheduling due to storm weather super easy. When we were out on the boat, he was instructive and safe. Our teenage boys enjoyed the time so much they are begging to go back out with Benny. We will definitely book with him again and recommend going out with him to anyone who wants a knowledgeable guide.
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.
