Gardners Guide Service 

There's a fish with your name on it in Matagorda and Gardners Guide Service will help you catch it! With Captain Capt. Stephen at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Black Drum, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Tarpon, Tripletail, and plenty more.

You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Capt. Stephen also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Your boat for the day is a 25' Bay boat that holds up to 3 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's recommended to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Gardners Guide Service will make it easy for you to go fishing in Matagorda. So, how about booking that trip?
