About Your Trip

Experience some of the best inshore fishing Texas has to offer with Captain Kenny on the legendary waters of East and West Matagorda Bay. Whether you book a half-day or full-day trip, you'll spend your time drifting productive shorelines or wade fishing shallow flats in search of the species that have made this fishery famous.

Your primary targets include Speckled Trout, Redfish, Black Drum, and Flounder, with Captain Kenny adjusting the day's game plan based on conditions, tides, and where the fish are feeding. Whether you're an experienced angler looking to refine your approach or introducing friends and family to the sport, he'll work hard to put you on quality fish while sharing the local knowledge he's built over years on these bays.

Trips accommodate up to four anglers and include all the essentials to get you on the water. Live bait can be arranged when conditions call for it for an additional cost.

Bring your favorite snacks, drinks, sun protection, and a valid Texas fishing license, then get ready to enjoy one of the Gulf Coast's premier inshore fisheries with a captain who knows these waters inside and out.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
