Member since March 2017 Matagorda, United States
Background
Welcome to "Fin Tastic Coastal Charters", and Texas Saltwater fishing with Capt. Stan Sloan, a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain and fishing guide. Capt. Stan has been featured in Saltwater Sportsman Magazine, Texas Outdoors Journal, Gulf Coast Fisherman, and has appeared on fishing shows on The Outdoors Channel. With more than 35 years of fishing experience on the Texas Coastal bay system, Capt. Stan has the knowledge of the Matagorda Bay Complex to ensure that you have a successful, exciting fishing trip on the waters of East or West Matagorda Bays.
Techniques
I prefer catching fish on artificial bait, and wading for big Trout (winter and early spring) but under certain conditions live shrimp and drifting makes it easier.

After learning how much commission fishing broker takes, I would not recommend using this website. Pay the guide directly.
