CATCHING DINOSAURS Alligator Gar Matagorda Tx

There’s a fish with your name on it, and Catching Dinosaurs will help you catch it!

Alligator Gar, and more are in the cards, depending on conditions. On these trips, you can expect to using heavy tackle.

Families making of a day of it 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. Feel free to bring your own snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Your vessel for the day is a 18’ SeaArk aluminum fishing boat with capacity for 3 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures.

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 might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It’s always wise to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
