Captain Chad puts you on Fish!
5/5
Chad Kraft was our captain and he is very knowledgeable about the fishing in Matagorda Bay. We caught our limit of Specs, reeled in a bull red, several black drum as well. Chad is very knowledgeable about the area's rich history. We had a ball with Chad and will recommend him highly. We will be booking him again.

Matagorda Bay fishing trip with Capt Chad
5/5
Very, very windy day for our morning trip. We fished multiple locations trying to locate keeper fish. Redfish (5) all missed the slot cutoff length by 1”, but we caught limits on black drum and even a couple sheepshead. Croakers, a blue crab and a ladyfish were also caught. Catching about 30 fish, with the weather against us, is not a bad morning of fishing.

We caught fish the entire morning.

It was a great day. We caught more fish then we could keep. We limited out on trout… caught several red fish and kept 4 and caught several black drum. This is our 4th year in a row to book with Captain Chad. We can’t wait till next year.
