About Your Trip

Spend the day with Stacks & Stringers and let them show you what makes the fishing in Matagorda so memorable! Capt. Jeff or Capt. Morgan will make your fishing experience a life long memory.

There’s no guarantee when you’re fishing, but just some of the species you can catch around here include Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and more if you cast your line at the right time of year.

On the day of your trip you’re likely to spin using light tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. You’re welcome to bring snacks to keep their stamina going!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 25’ JH OutlawCenter console with space for 5 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Rods, reels, and tackle are included. Live bait is available for a fee.

Before coming aboard, it may be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don’t forget to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and a Hat. There will be some drinks water, soft drinks and Gatorade , but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Stacks & Stringers!

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.
