Matagorda Bay Fishing Reports

Book a charter and talk to your Captain about local establishments, restaurants and public fishing spots. Our Captain (Captain Reyes with Lucky 7 Guide Services) was very helpful and knowledgeable. We are glad we booked our trip shortly after our arrival in Palacios.

Go fishing with Keith Gregory’s Guide Service and you will have a great time because he knows some great spots to fish and you will have every opportunity to catch the Red fish.

Book with Captain Chappy. He is a great guy and guide. He will definitely put you on the fish. We will definitely book with him again.

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.

Don't be afraid to bring your own rods and tackle. Try both artificials and live bait. Ask lots of questions, what are the best redfish spots, what are the best lures to use for each type of fish. What is your favorite time to fish, etc.

We caught a large amount of mangro snapper and used live shrimp amongst other forms of bait. The shrimp was one of the easiest for the kids to bait themselves

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

Matagorda is known for great inshore fishing. Sunscreen fishing shirts, hat and get out there.

Be prepared for an awesome and exciting experienced with this company. The captain is very friendly, fun to fish with. We really enjoyed his excellent of service.

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

Try to time your trip around good weather. When the conditions are right, it can be great.

Overall fishing in Port O'Connor is very successful. But please be careful if you bring your own boat, the topo maps on most GPSS are off. The last hurricane really change the area.

Check it out the fish are their, get Caption Chappy as your guide you wont go wrong with him

Nice location without the crowds you'd find around Galveston and even Rockport.

Be ready for some cooler weather than you think, but fishing in Port O'Connor on a crappy day is better than fishing anywhere else!

I would recommend anglers fishing to book captain chad if you’re new in town or just want to get on the water with a couple of friends or family to fish

Be prepared for inclement weather (we had perfect weather but it's inconsistent) and dress appropriately.

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.

Live shrimp and just fish and don't expect to catch a bunch of fish otherwise you won't catch any.

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