About Your Trip

Climb aboard with Capt. Jordan and learn why Matagorda Bay provides some of the most prolific fishing experiences in Texas! On this full-day adventure, Capt. Jordan will help you chase Flounder, Redfish, and Speckled Trout. You can choose how you want to fish; light tackle, wading, artificial lures, or drift fishing are all open to you! If you choose to wade fish, make sure you bring waders and wading boots.

For these trips, Captain Jordan uses a 24’ TransCat SVT which can accommodate up to 6 anglers. His boat is equipped with a GPS and a fishfinder—two perfect additions to help reel in those trophy-sized fish.

Make sure to bring a valid Texas Fishing License, a hat, sunscreen, and any food and drinks of your choice (no glass). Capt. Jordan will provide all rods, reels, and tackle. You can purchase live bait for an additional price.

Learn to fish new techniques and create lasting memories on the water while reeling in your personal best!

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.
