Our full day charters provide variety through multiple fishing techniques—from sight fishing in clear shallow water to live bait presentations around structure. The fall season brings excellent speckled trout action while black drum fishing really heats up in these productive waters.

Captain Joe Guerra's local knowledge of Matagorda Bay's best fishing spots ensures productive days on the water. Whether you're casting topwater lures at dawn or working live bait around grass beds, every technique offers opportunities for memorable catches. The bay's protected waters make it ideal for anglers of all experience levels.

Local Tips & Conditions

Matagorda Bay's shallow flats and grass bed structure create ideal habitat for sight fishing during clear conditions. Fall brings cooler water temperatures that activate feeding patterns, making it prime time for speckled trout and black drum. Light tackle casting works well in the shallows, while live bait fishing produces consistent results around deeper structure. Wind conditions can affect fishing strategies, but the bay's protected areas offer alternatives when weather becomes a factor.
