As expected it was busy being July 4th weekend, and the wind was real tough to cast where you wanted to, but our guide was great and got us in some calmer spots to get the job done.

Most of the time I have fished Port O’Conner I got my limit on redfish or trout; not so this time as redfish was slow and we failed to get our limit on trout for July 1st and July 2nd, but still had a good time.

Decide if you want to fish artificial for trout and reds or if live bait is more your style. There are big fish to catch and release also. Just look for the guide that suites what you want and not be disappointed.

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.

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
