Book your next trip with Texas Coast Fishing Guides and find out what makes the fishing in East Matagorda Bay so unique. With Captain Matt at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Speckled Trout, Redfish, Sheepshead, Flounder, and more could be biting if conditions are right. On these trips, you can expect to drift using light or heavy tackle.

If you’re traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

You’ll be casting lines from a 21’ Sea Pro center console with a capacity for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, tackle, and live bait are included

Before coming aboard, it will 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 leave home without a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
