Matagorda fishing guides have us all jealous- how they keep this unbelievably fertile and vibrant fishery to themselves and under the radar is one of the world's greatest secrets.
Both East Bay and West Bay, separated by the mouth of the mighty Colorado River, are healthy ecosystems home to giant Speckled Trout, Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Tripletail, and other coveted inshore species.
Matagorda bay fishing charters deserve a place on your bucket list.
If Matagorda bay fishing guides are under the radar for most anglers, then Matagorda deep sea fishing is really not on the map for most. That's a mistake.
The town of Matagorda offers access to the Gulf of Mexico via the Colorado River. Once out in open water, a host of offshore rigs and natural reefs provide a wide variety of options for chasing Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, and even giant Bluefin Tuna. Offshore anglers can also target Red Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Swordfish, Cobia (Ling), Wahoo, and Sailfish. Matagorda is also one of the best destinations for Marlin fishing Texas.
