What anglers said about fishing in East Matagorda Bay

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

Book a trip with Captain Steve and his team. I highly recommend booking a fishing trip with Gulf Coast Yaker.

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 thatโ€™s a plus.

Do some research on the fishing tactics and come prepared for the potential changes in weather.

I would recommend quality footwear for the boat, we chose to wear Keen Newport H2 Sandals as they were comfortable and gripped very well on the deck. Breathable thin long sleeve shirts worked out nicely and of course lots of waterproof sunscreen.
