Hoping to go fishing in San Antonio? That's what The Reelest Fishing is here for! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Matthew knows them forwards and back.

Catfish, Redfish, and more inhabit these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year.

You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! 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!

Your adventure begins aboard a 19' Bay boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Capt. Matthew will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you may 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.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
IF YOU BREAK IT, YOU BUY IT!!

Now, time to hit the water with The Reelest Fishing!

Amazing Fishing Trip!
Half Day Trip – Weekday on May 15, 20264 adults

Captain Matt was awesome. The fishing was great. We limited out on reds. Matt let us do some casting and put us on reds right away. Great experience and we can't wait to book again! Highly recommend this guide to everyone. On top of a great experience, Matt is also a veteran!!

I'm a passionate and driven angler who takes pride in putting people on quality fish and creating unforgettable experiences on the water. As a combat-disabled veteran, I bring discipline, resilience, and a strong sense of purpose to everything I do, including guiding. Whether you're a first-time fisherman or a seasoned angler chasing your next personal best, I bring patience, knowledge, and a strong work ethic to every trip. I specialize in targeting trophy catfish and redfish, and I'm always adapting to conditions to give my clients the best chance at success. More than just catching fish, I focus on making every trip enjoyable, safe, and rewarding—because for me, it's about the experience just as much as the catch.
