Matagorda has a fish with your name on it, so let Stringer Stretcher Outfitters help you catch it! With Captain Terry at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Swordfish, and whatever else takes the bait. During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Terry can also take you Flounder gigging. For the more adventurous among you, there's bowfishing.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
You'll be casting lines from a 25' Dargel center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures.
You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect. It's recommended to bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Bottled water is included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
The click of a button is the only thing keeping you from a great day on the water with Stringer Stretcher Outfitters!

What can't I say about Captain Terry. The best time ever we have had fishing. He not only put us on the fish but explained why we were at location and told us where and how to cast. His knowledge of the wetlands and river was incredible. My daughter was given first class lessons and support the whole way and i could not believe how nice, respectful and fun Captain Terry. I would recommend Captain Terry to anyone and everyone.

We were 6 adults and a kid and had a great experience with Terry. He’s knowledgeable, funny and very helpful. He was always giving us a hand with baiting, casting, removing hooks, and getting lines unstuck. Though we mostly caught cat fish, Terry drove us around to a lot of spots to try catching something different. We caught a red fish but it wasn’t a keeper. Overall, we had fun and would highly recommend Terry.

We had an amazing time out in the water for my brothers birthday! We caught a variety of fish this Sunday, from trout to reds, drum to sheep heads, whiteys to mango snapper! It was a successful day of fishing. Terry made everything so much easier, helping us bait our hooks to get us all in the water faster! Definitely booking another trip soon!
