What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Matagorda, Texas for the first time?

Getting around on shore can be tricky, we spent a little time the first day watching people come and go to see where it was safe to drive. It is well worth it to pay a guide for a trip out into the bay. The harbor is very convenient and easy to find

It's the first time I have fished Matagorda in June, so I have no basis for comparison. This was a fun outing, even though the bite was tough. FWIW, I would do it again tomorrow with this guide. Very fun time.

Book a trip with Captain Steve and his team. I highly recommend booking a fishing trip with Gulf Coast Yaker.

Book with Captain Chappy. He is a great guy and guide. He will definitely put you on the fish. We will definitely book with him again.

From what I hear fishing is always good here. Try to check the weather, the wind can affect the fishing.

Sunscreen and a knowledgeable captain like Stan Sloan. This was our third trip with Capt. Sloan.

Find a good guide because they put in the hard work of finding where the fish are biting.

The facilities and bay are nice. The Reds were a little better target than trout at this point.

Matagorda is known for great inshore fishing. Sunscreen fishing shirts, hat and get out there.

Check it out the fish are their, get Caption Chappy as your guide you wont go wrong with him
