Born and raised in Palacios, Texas, I’ve spent my entire life fishing the Matagorda Bays and sharing my passion for fishing with my two sons. From West Matagorda Bay to East Matagorda Bay, and from the jetties to the surf, I know the area’s waters and the many opportunities they offer. I’m happy to customize each trip to suit your preferences, whether you enjoy drift fishing from the boat, wade fishing, or targeting fish with live bait or artificial lures. Whatever your experience level or fishing style, I’ll do my best to make your day on the water a memorable one. Give me a call and let’s get HOOKED UP!
