Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

  • ★★★★★
    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!

    Daniel B. with Jordan M. of Matagorda, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Amazing experience! Captain Chad drove 50 miles to the next city just so we’d have good live bait for our trip. With that being said we caught 40 fish and 20 keepers. Even managed to get on some Reds in late January weather. We will definitely be booking another trip with Captain “Chappy”. If you’re looking to catch fish in a relaxed setting with someone who knows there stuff, look No Further.

    Chris R. with Chad K. of Matagorda, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    A great day of fishing. Thank you Jordan

    Paul M. with Jordan M. of Matagorda, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Jordan was an excellent captain. With a fishing tournament going on, we caught about twice the fish as any of them. For Matagorda Bay fishing, he knows where the fish hit. Also a pleasure to work with.
