We had a solid day out on Matagorda Bay, with Captain Chad, even though Mother Nature didn’t make it easy for us. The morning was very windy and cloudy, which definitely slowed the bite. Despite the-less-than-ideal weather, our captain worked incredibly hard to put us on fish. We managed to land a few keepers and caught and released a variety of undersized fish. It wasn’t a record-breaking haul, but given the conditions, we were happy to bring some fish back to the dock. Captain Chad’s... More

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

Captain Chad put us on the fish right off the bat. Once that spot slowed down he put us on another one. Would highly recommend Captain Chad.

Capt. Chad was great! He immediately got us on fish and we were able to quickly catch a wide variety of species. He was very patient with our son and helped him to “catch the most fish ever!” It was a very exciting day for our son. Capt. Chad passed on some local history which was very interesting for us. We highly recommend and will be calling him for our next trip to Matagorda.

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.
