Capt. Zack runs trips out of Matagorda aboard a 24' Haynie. These waters are known for Redfish and Black Drum and he will show you how to catch them. With extensive experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Captain Shannon worked great with my teenage son

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    My son and I had a fantastic time on our fishing trip. Even though it wasn’t ideal fishing weather with all the wind, we still were able to catch a lot of fish. Captain Shannon was not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also had a great way of connecting with my teenage son. The captain was patient, encouraging, and made sure my son felt confident and involved in everything. Huge thanks to Captain Shannon for making it a memorable day on the water. It was clear that he genuinely enjoys sharing his love of fishing, and it made a big difference for us on my son’s birthday.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Flounder
    Speckled Trout

    Great trip!

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults

    This was our first time saltwater fishing. Captain Zach made the trip not only fun but he really knows the area and where to find the fish. He's great and we will be going with him again.

    Had a blast and looking forward to many more!

What's biting with Captain Shannon’s Charters in Matagorda

Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Tarpon are awesome this month. It will be a bit harder to catch Black Drum, but not impossible!
