Make some memories in Matagorda and go fishing with Texas Coastal Charters. Your guide for the day is Captain Lathan, offering their professional experience.

These waters are known for Speckled Trout, Redfish, Black Drum, Flounder, Tarpon, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before 'Fish on!' During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

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. Don't forget to bring snacks!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 24' Shoalwater center console with space for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels.

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 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). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, time to hit the water with Texas Coastal Charters!
