What anglers said about fishing in Matagorda Bay

Stay calm, I know you have a big expectations because maybe you paid a lot. Give the Capt a chance to work his magic, because everyday is not the same, they have to adjust to everything that the day is giving at the moment. Once they figure it out, promise you'll have a blast!

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.

Try out a charter service. Charter captains have a lot of great knowledge and you’re putting money back into a great community that welcomes you everytime. And grab some lunch on the way out!

Make sure to contact your captain before you book a trip. Ask questions about what fish are biting and explain what type of fish you are wanting to focus on. This helps your guide know what bait and tackle to take.

We went with an evening trip on the bay rather than a morning one and it paid off. Caught a ton of fish but had to move the boat a couple of times to keep it going. We always catch a lot of fish in October on the coast.

We were able to limit out on reds but no on anything else. But the weather was great for an afternoon trip out

Palacios Bay is a great place to fish! Not much in the town itself but the bay and surrounding waterways are great fishing.

I highly recommend coming here around this time of year. You always here “ we went out but didn’t catch anything”. Well that wasn’t the case here. We caught fish the entire time we were here and got to take back enough food for a large fish fry. We will definitely be back.
