Red October

Oct 3, 2025 Aransas Pass

Red October is here. Big water, big tide swings, and lots of current. Redfishing is about as good as it gets.

The big tides are back.

Aug 31, 2025 Aransas Pass

Big tides mean new fish in the bay. There are lots of redfish to go around this fall.

Summer time!

Jun 19, 2025 Aransas Pass

It's hot. it's been breezy, and the speckled trout are hungry. Live croaker has been the golden ticket. Let's go fill the box.

Spring Fishing

May 9, 2025 Aransas Pass

Spring fishing has been very generous, and summer is fast approaching. Redfish are hot on the menu, and black drums are plentiful. Lets get you booked up and hooked up.

1 cast 2 cast, we make all the cast coun

Apr 16, 2025 Aransas Pass

Spring fishing has been phenomenal. Cool temps, nice breezy days, and the action is just heating up. Let's get you booked up and hooked up.

Spring fun is officially here!

Mar 31, 2025 Aransas Pass

Spring time is one of the best times to fish. The fluctuation of the higher tides and comfortable water temps makes for a solid combination. Fish moving in from the gulf in solid numbers and feeding very aggressively throughout the day. Lets get you booked up and hooked up.

Wade Fishing 5hr P.M. Adventure

It was a windy day and tough fishing. Matt never stopped battling and trying to put us on fish. I thought we were looking at only a couple of fish. We ended up nearly limiting out despite less than ideal conditions.

Matt had to work hard for us. Conditions were not in our favor with two young boaters onboard. Matt adapted to the situations and we still had a great time. We caught some great fish and we will be booking with him again

Captain Matthew knew where to catch fish. All 6 of us caught keepers. My daughter landed a huge 4’11” gar. I recommend using Captain Matthew on your fishing trip. You won’t regret it.
