great day on the water with captain Chad. we caught fish and learned about the history of the water and surrounding areas. would definitely recommend shallowrun guide service.

This charter was amazing that only did we have an amazing time, but the experience was wonderful Captain Chad listen to us and had great story about himself and Matagorda, Texas.Me and my friends are definitely going back. For a first-time charter fishing trip. We definitely had the perfect captain thank you and we will see you again.

Chad Kraft was our captain and he is very knowledgeable about the fishing in Matagorda Bay.  We caught our limit of Specs, reeled in a bull red, several black drum as well.  Chad is very knowledgeable about the area’s rich history.  We had a ball with Chad and will recommend him highly.  We will be booking him again.

Had an amazing time on our guided fishing trip! The guide was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable for everyone. He helped my 9 year old with everything he needed along the way. Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fund and relaxing day on the water!

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!
