Matagorda Bay fishing is productive year-round, with spring and fall typically offering the most consistent action as fish move through the bay system. Water clarity and wind direction play important roles in daily success, and Captain Guerra adjusts techniques and locations accordingly. Live bait fishing with shrimp and croaker produces excellent results, while artificial lures work well for covering water and locating active fish.
Tidal movement creates feeding opportunities along drop-offs and structure, with early morning and late afternoon often providing the best bite. The bay's relatively shallow depths mean water temperature changes quickly with weather fronts, affecting fish behavior and feeding patterns.
