With more than 35 years of fishing experience on the Texas Coastal bay system, Captain Stan Sloan of Fin Tastic Coastal Charters has the knowledge of the Matagorda Bay Complex to insure that you have a successful and exciting fishing trip on the waters of East or West Matagorda Bays.
Captain Stan prefers catching fish on artificial bait, and wade fishing for big Speckled Trout (winter and early spring),but he is also happy to drift fish from the boat using live shrimp.

Captain Sloan did an excellent job of putting us on the fish. We caught shark, white fish, red fish, hard head catfish and speckled trout. He did a great job of teaching us how to work the equipment and even casting for my son after he was worn out from catching sooo many early on. Finished it off with a great smooth boat ride to cool us off on a hot August morning. We will definitely be booking with Captain Sloan again.

Had a wonderful experience with Captain Stan. Our first time fishing in the Bay was difficult due to the weather conditions, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Will be back to wade fish in the future.
