About Your Trip

The diverse waters of the Matagorda Bay complex allow for poling in and through marsh complexes on the East side to backwater coves with clear, clean water, and sandbars down West. Come and see the diversity that Matagorda offers, and strip set into a fish of your life.

Our main targets will be redfish in skinny water, and sight casting to them. The excitement of seeing the fish, casting, and setting the hook will excite even the seasoned angler. Other fish of opportunity will be black drum, sheepshead, trout, flounder, jacks, and sharks. This will be your trip, your memory, and we can chase whatever you want, however you want

About Your Guide

Independent Guide 16 years of exp.
At a young age I’ve had a life goal and a dream to one day be a fishing charter captain. I grew up in Houston learning the Texas way of wade fishing for trout and reds. While at college in South Texas, my passion grew as I waded Baffin Bay for trophy trout, and the crystal-clear flats of Port Aransas for shallow water reds.

At a young age I’ve had a life goal and a dream to one day be a fishing charter captain. I grew up in Houston learning the Texas way of wade fishing for trout and reds. While at college in South Texas, my passion grew as I waded Baffin Bay for trophy trout, and the crystal-clear flats of Port Aransas for shallow water reds. Settling down with my wife and starting a family in Houston, I found where I would call my home water, Matagorda Bay. The diverse waters of the Matagorda Bay complex allow for poling in and through marsh complexes on the East side to backwater coves with clear, clean water, and sandbars down West. Come and see the diversity that Matagorda offers, and strip set into a fish of your life.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
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. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
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, bait, 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.
