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.

AMAZING!!!!!!
Half Day Trip (PM) on October 18, 20254 adults

Capt Matt went above and beyond in making this fishing adventure truly memorable for me and the family. He put us on the fish almost immediately. We wound up with over 30 pounds of redfish fillets for the freezer and my son was able to land a 60 pound alligator gar. I would highly recommend Matt as your captain. I cannot wait to go back and book with him again. Thank you, Captain Matt!
