What anglers said about fishing in Matagorda
What anglers said about fishing in Matagorda
The weather in May is a gamble, we started off with overcast skies which made for a pleasant morning of fishing. Later in the morning the sun was out and got warm. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen. Also, Matagorda bay can get very busy with fisherman, so recommend leaving the dock no later than 6AM to get to the prime spots.

Lots of gaftops and hardheads. Not keepers but that’s not on the captain. Seems like the waters are infested with them.

Great experience with knowledgeable and friendly Captain!!! Captain Chad will put you on the spot, and help you catch fish IF you need help. Limited on specks and caught a few black drums. Highly recommend.

I’ve been on two guided trips in Matagorda and been on 3+ trips without a guide. If it’s your first time fishing in Matagorda, I would recommend hiring a guide to learn the area.

Go in the spring / summer when there are more fish. We caught a lot of fish but not a lot of keepers. Still lots of fun.

Wether it's your first boat ride, or even if you are an experienced angler - Capt Chad Kraft is the way to go!! He knows the Bay area like the back of his hand, and where to find the fish! Highly recommend his fishing guide services for anyone!

Getting around on shore can be tricky, we spent a little time the first day watching people come and go to see where it was safe to drive.
It is well worth it to pay a guide for a trip out into the bay. The harbor is very convenient and easy to find

Find a good guide because they put in the hard work of finding where the fish are biting.

It's the first time I have fished Matagorda in June, so I have no basis for comparison. This was a fun outing, even though the bite was tough. FWIW, I would do it again tomorrow with this guide. Very fun time.

The facilities and bay are nice. The Reds were a little better target than trout at this point.

From what I hear fishing is always good here. Try to check the weather, the wind can affect the fishing.

Good water. Plenty of variety of fish. Plenty of places to stay near by and plenty of charters to choose from. Just enjoy the experience and if you catch fish that’s a plus.
