Multi-Boat Mayhem: Texas Corporate Fishing
Get ready to hit the waters of Matagorda Bay with your whole crew! We've cooked up something special for those big groups that want to fish together but can't all squeeze onto one boat. Our multi-boat charters are perfect for corporate retreats, family reunions, or any bunch of friends looking to wet a line and have a blast. Expert Guide Joe's got connections with the best local skippers, so we'll set you up with a fleet that'll make your day on the water unforgettable.
Trip Overview
Picture this: you and your gang spread out across three boats, cruising the rich waters of Matagorda Bay. We're talking serious fishing action, folks. Whether you're after hard-fighting redfish, sneaky flounder, or those tasty trout, we've got you covered. Joe and his handpicked team of guides know these waters like the back of their hands. They'll put you on the fish and make sure everyone's having a good time. And hey, if some of your group want to mix it up with a bit of sightseeing or backcountry exploration, we can do that too. It's your day, your way.
What to Expect on the Water
We'll be running light and fast in our fleet of shallow-water skiffs. These babies can get into the skinny water where the big ones hide. Depending on what's biting and what you're after, we might be throwing soft plastics, working topwater lures, or soaking some bait. Our guides are pros at reading the water and the weather, so they'll adjust tactics to give you the best shot at a cooler full of fish. And don't worry if you're new to this – we'll show you the ropes and have you casting like a pro in no time.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
There's something special about fishing with a big group. The friendly competition, the shared excitement when someone hooks up, and the stories you'll tell for years to come. Our multi-boat setup means everyone gets plenty of elbow room and personal attention from the guides. Plus, with Joe coordinating the whole shebang, you know it's going to run smooth as butter. We've had corporate groups come back year after year, making it their annual team-building event. Once you experience the thrill of Matagorda Bay fishing, you'll be hooked too.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Southern Flounder: These flatfish are the ninjas of the bay. They'll bury themselves in the sand, waiting to ambush their prey. Catching them is all about finesse and patience. We'll show you how to work a jig or live bait along the bottom to tempt these tasty devils. Fall is prime time for flounder, as they start their migration to the Gulf.
Black Drum: Don't let their ugly mugs fool you – these bruisers put up a heck of a fight. They love to hang around structure and oyster beds, so we'll target those areas with crabs or shrimp. The bigger ones can top 30 pounds, so hang on tight! Spring is when they really turn on, but you can catch them year-round in Matagorda Bay.
Sheepshead: These striped convicts are known for their powerful jaws and sneaky bites. They're masters at stealing bait, but when you hook one, it's game on. We'll fish around pilings and jetties where they love to hang out. Winter and early spring are prime time for sheepshead, and they make for some mighty fine eating.
Sea Trout: Also known as speckled trout, these guys are the bread and butter of Texas inshore fishing. They're aggressive feeders and will hit everything from live bait to artificial lures. We love to target them over grass flats or around bait pods. The best action is usually early morning or late evening when they're feeding hard.
Redfish: The crown jewel of Texas inshore fishing. Reds are known for their powerful runs and their distinctive spot near the tail. We'll look for them tailing in shallow water or cruising the flats. Fall is spectacular for bull reds, but you can catch them all year. There's nothing quite like the thrill of a redfish crushing a topwater lure!
Time to Book Your Spot
Listen, if you've got a big group itching to get out on the water, this is the trip for you. We're talking world-class fishing in one of Texas' most productive bays, with a team of guides who know how to show folks a good time. Whether you're looking to build some team spirit, celebrate a big win, or just create some lasting memories with friends and family, our multi-boat charters are the ticket. But here's the deal – these trips are weekday only, and they book up fast. So don't sit on your hands. Give us a call, and let's get your crew on the calendar. The fish are waiting, and so are we. Let's make it happen!
Learn more about the species
Black Drum
Black Drum are the big bruisers of the bay, with adults typically weighing 5-30 pounds. You'll spot 'em by their silver-gray color and distinct "croaking" sound. They love hanging around oyster beds and other structures in 3-30 feet of water. Spring's the best time to target them, when they school up to spawn. Anglers dig Black Drum for their strong fights and good eating (stick to smaller ones under 15 pounds for the best flavor). To land one, use fresh crab or shrimp on a fish-finder rig. Fish it right on the bottom and be ready - when they bite, it's like hooking a truck! Here's a local trick: chum with crushed oyster shells to draw them in. Just watch out for those powerful jaws when you're unhooking 'em.
Redfish
Redfish are the bulldogs of the flats, with that distinctive spot near the tail. Most are 20-30 inches, but they can grow over 40 inches in the Gulf. You'll find 'em in super shallow water, sometimes with their backs out of the water! They love cruising along shorelines, over grass flats, and around oyster reefs. Fall's prime time when they school up before heading offshore to spawn. Anglers can't get enough of their powerful runs and excellent table fare. To catch 'em, try gold spoons, soft plastics, or live mullet. Sight-casting to tailing reds in clear shallows is a rush. Here's a local tip: on windy days, focus on lee shorelines where bait gets pushed up. When you hook one, hang on tight - these copper-colored fighters don't give up easy!
Sea Trout
Sea Trout, or Speckled Trout, are the bay's silver missiles. They usually run 14-24 inches, but can hit 30+ inches in deep water. Look for them over grass flats and around channels, especially at dawn and dusk. They're here year-round, but really stack up in deeper holes during winter. Anglers love their acrobatic fights and light, flaky meat. To catch 'em, try live shrimp under a popping cork or soft plastics worked with a twitch-and-pause retrieve. They often hit on the fall, so stay alert. Local trick: on calm mornings, look for them feeding on the surface - it's a blast to throw topwater lures into the frenzy. Just remember to practice catch-and-release with the big breeders to keep the population healthy.
Sheepshead
Sheepshead are the toothy convicts of Matagorda Bay, sporting human-like chompers and distinctive black and white stripes. Most run 1-8 pounds, but they can hit 20 pounds in rare cases. You'll find 'em around any structure with barnacles - pilings, jetties, reefs. They're here year-round, but really fire up in early spring before spawning. Anglers love the challenge of outsmarting these bait-stealers and their delicious, mild white meat. To catch 'em, use small hooks with fiddler crabs or pieces of shrimp. Fish tight to structure and set the hook quick - they're pros at nibbling bait off. Pro tip: scrape some barnacles off a piling to get them fired up. Just mind those teeth when you're unhooking!
Southern Flounder
Southern Flounder are masters of camouflage, blending into sandy or muddy bottoms with both eyes on their left side. They're usually 15-18 inches long, but can reach up to 33 inches. Look for them in shallow coastal waters, bays, and estuaries. Fall is prime time as they migrate offshore to spawn. Anglers love targeting flounder for their delicate, white meat and the challenge of hooking these ambush predators. To catch 'em, use live bait like mullet or shrimp on a Carolina rig. Let it drift slowly along the bottom, feeling for that distinctive flounder "thump" when they grab it. Be patient - they often play with the bait before committing. When you feel weight, give it a second, then set the hook hard. These flatfish put up a good fight and make excellent table fare.
