Highlights of Matagorda Bay Fishing
Matagorda Bay offers some of Texas' most consistent inshore fishing, with productive grass flats, oyster reefs, and back lakes holding year-round populations of gamefish. The area's shallow waters warm quickly in spring and stay productive through late fall. Captain Guerra's local knowledge includes the best tide movements, seasonal patterns, and structure locations that produce fish when other areas slow down.
Recent trips have produced excellent flounder catches, with multiple keeper-sized fish per angler common during peak seasons. The bay system's diverse habitat supports healthy populations of redfish, speckled trout, and seasonal runs of flounder that attract anglers from across the Gulf Coast.
Local Species Insights
Matagorda's inshore waters support thriving populations of the Texas coast's most sought-after gamefish. Flounder concentrate around structure and drop-offs, particularly during their fall migration to deeper Gulf waters. Redfish patrol the shallow flats and shorelines year-round, with larger schools forming during cooler months. Speckled trout relate to grass beds and shell bottom, feeding actively during moving tides and low-light periods.
Water temperatures and seasonal bait movements drive fish behavior throughout the year. Spring brings warming waters and active feeding, while fall migration periods often produce the year's best action. Captain Guerra adjusts techniques and locations based on current conditions, tides, and fish movement patterns.
