Great fishing trip!

Fishing 5 Hour Trip – (AM)3 adults

Captain Chad was great. We limited out on trout. He even provided some pictures which was an unexpected bonus. If we are back in this area we will definitely book another trip with him. Highly recommend booking with him!

Response from Captain

This trip was fantastic. And thank you Angie for the great review

    Amazing and Beautiful Experience

    Fishing 5 Hour Trip – (AM) • 3 adults

    This was the best fishing experience I have ever had. I was hoping to catch saltwater fish and Chad exceeded my expectations! He is an amazing guide and cares about everything he does. He answered all my questions and was very very knowledgeable about the fish and the area. He even told us the amazing story of one settler back in the day and the significance of Matagorda! Will definitely be back to fish again with Chad. We loved every minute of it! We caught red fish and black drum.

    Top Notch Boat, Equipment and Knowledge

    Fishing 5 Hour Trip – (AM) • 4 adults

    We had a solid day out on Matagorda Bay, with Captain Chad, even though Mother Nature didn’t make it easy for us. The morning was very windy and cloudy, which definitely slowed the bite. Despite the-less-than-ideal weather, our captain worked incredibly hard to put us on fish. We managed to land a few keepers and caught and released a variety of undersized fish. It wasn’t a record-breaking haul, but given the conditions, we were happy to bring some fish back to the dock. Captain Chad's extensive knowledge of the bay was impressive. Our trip was very enjoyable. We will definitely be booking another trip with Captain Chad on a “hopefully” calmer day!!

    Great fishing trip friends!

    Fishing 5 Hour Trip – (AM) • 3 adults

    Capt. Chad did a great job helping 2 of our friends who have never fished. He was patient and got them casting like a regular by the end of the trip. We caught several redfish, black drum, trout, and a mangrove snapper. They are already trying to plan for next month.
