    Outstanding Service

    5 Hour Trip • 6 adults

    We had a great trip out with Captain Fern. He was accommodating to everyone in our party and he went above and beyond to make sure everyone was enjoying the trip. Not only did we make memories, but we also learned alot about the area from his years of experience and knowledge of the waters at Matagorda Bay.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout
    Black Drum

    Took a half day with Fern and by far best experience we have had with a guide. Very knowledgeable, personable and friendly, not just there to make money, he cares about making sure you have a great time! Each person limited on trout and got a 38” bull red all on a short time.

What's biting with Gon Get’Em Guide Service in Matagorda

Visit the Lighted Christmas Boat Parade and Gumbo Cook-off at Matagorda Harbor for lots of food and drinks. Flounder and Redfish continue being epic, and Tarpon is still very good.
