Highlights of Matagorda Bay Fishing
Matagorda Bay offers some of Texas' most consistent inshore fishing, with productive waters that hold gamefish year-round. The bay's mix of shallow grass flats, oyster reefs, and deeper channels creates ideal habitat for redfish and speckled trout. Black drum frequent the deeper holes and channel edges, especially during winter months when they school in large numbers.

Local Species Insights
Matagorda Bay's diverse structure supports healthy populations of inshore gamefish throughout the seasons. Redfish patrol the shallow flats and oyster bars, while speckled trout hold near grass beds and drop-offs. Black drum, like the ones recently caught with Captain Joe, concentrate in deeper water during cooler months and provide excellent action for anglers using cut bait.
The bay's connection to the Gulf of Mexico brings in seasonal species and maintains good water quality. Tidal movement helps concentrate baitfish, which draws predator fish to specific areas that experienced guides like Captain Joe know well. These productive waters consistently produce keeper-sized fish for both novice and experienced anglers.
