Spend the day with Brawley’s Guide Service and get hooked on fishing in Matagorda!

The fish in these waters include Flounder, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Black Drum, and more if you cast your line at the right time of year. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, popping, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Brawley’s Guide Service welcomes kids aboard, so get ‘em offline and onto the water! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

You’ll be dropping lines from a 22’ Blue Wave bay boat that holds up to 5 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you will need 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.

Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Brawley’s Guide Service.
