Matt's Fishing Adventures
Matt's Fishing Adventures
Excited to catch some fish in Rockport? Matt’s Fishing Adventures is your ticket! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Matt knows them forwards and back.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Redfish, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, and whatever else is biting. You’ll get to keep any legal fish you catch, and the captain will clean it for you.
You’ll be fishing aboard a 24’ El Pescador boat with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with everything you’ll need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is included.
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.
It’s recommended to bring bottled water, sunblock, and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, 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.

Half Day Trip (AM)
So awesome we booked a second trip the following morning
Let me just say the odds of not catching fish is slim to none… however it would be just our luck some weird weather stuff had some effect on the reds we were running down for our AM charter and they flat out were just not eating. This didn’t bother my husband and I but for our 3 boys ages 15, 11 & 9, they were quickly becoming discouraged and bored. Captain Matt reassured them he had no problem staying out past our 5 hr time slot to find the fish. I’m sure fishing with 2 people is fairly simple, but fishing with a family of 5 with the big differences in age and experience, and being able to cater to each of us is something entirely different and worth acknowledging not to mention the patience he exercised with the 2 younger ones! By the end of the day we had fished to our hearts content, for the day, and before he filleted our fish, we booked for the next AM charter the following morning to run down some black drum. Worth every penny and every moment we spent on the water. Thank you for the experience and the family memories we made!

Top Notch Guide!
Matthew was nothing less than tenacious in his quest to help us get a great haul with less than ideal conditions. Only had a few bites early in the day, but Matthew went well over our time to help us land 11 fish. Can't recommend his enough as he did everything to help us have a great time! 10 out of 5!

Excellent Captain
We had a great experience today with Matthew! All four of us caught our limit of big black drum. My grandsons were besides themselves. Matthew was not only an excellent guide but a great host! Book this young man as soon as possible. 👍🏻

Matt works HARD
It was a windy day and tough fishing. Matt never stopped battling and trying to put us on fish. I thought we were looking at only a couple of fish. We ended up nearly limiting out despite less than ideal conditions.
