Highlights of Matagorda Bay Fishing
Matagorda Bay offers some of Texas' most consistent inshore fishing, with productive waters that hold fish year-round. The bay's diverse structure includes grass beds, oyster reefs, and deep channels that attract redfish, speckled trout, and flounder. Spring and fall bring excellent fishing as baitfish move through the system, while summer offers opportunities for tarpon and oversized bull reds. The protected waters make for comfortable fishing conditions, and the bay's size provides plenty of options when weather or tides change.
Captain Guerra focuses on sight fishing and structure fishing techniques, using live bait and artificial lures depending on conditions. The shallow flats allow for exciting sight fishing opportunities, while deeper areas produce consistent action on bottom rigs and soft plastics. Each trip is customized based on weather, tides, and your fishing preferences.
Local Tips & Conditions
Matagorda Bay fishing is influenced by tides, wind, and seasonal patterns that Captain Guerra monitors closely. Spring tides often produce the best fishing as moving water activates feeding fish. Wind direction affects which areas of the bay fish best, with protected shorelines offering refuge during strong southeast winds. Water clarity varies throughout the bay, with clearer water typically found away from river mouths and boat traffic areas.
The bay's grass flats are most productive during higher tides when fish move up to feed, while oyster reefs produce consistently at various tide stages. Captain Guerra adjusts fishing locations and techniques based on real-time conditions to maximize your success on the water.
