Captain Chad did a great job getting us on the fish. He was also friendly and gave history lessons about Matagorda. We didn’t get many keepers but had tons landed that were just a little short. Still a good day. The 9 hour trip with checking crab traps was nice, but by the end we all agree (including Chad) that it’s too long of a day on flat bottom boat. He said the 9 hour + crab may not be offered in the future, but if it is I want to share that we did get 11 blue crab and... More

Conditions were rough, water was super muddy, and there was a massive tournament in town. All of this resulted in a pretty slow day of fishing. However, Captain Chad worked his butt off to try to put us on the fish. He’s knowledgeable about the Bays, easy to communicate with, and really helped make the best of a bad situation. Will be reaching back out in October to try another trip with Chad!

Capt Chad was fantastic. We had a great time on the water. I think we caugh every species of fish in the bay. We caught our limit of Specs and he made sure we had pics to carry the memories home. The few times the bite was slow he shared his knowledge of the area and the fisheries, before moving us to another hot spot.  We’ll definitely give him a call the next time we’re in town.

Captain Chad was great. We limited out on trout. He even provided some pictures which was an unexpected bonus. If we are back in this area we will definitely book another trip with him. Highly recommend booking with him!

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.
