Trip - Matagorda Family Inshore Fishing Charter for Redfish, Trout, and Drum on June 13, 2026

The captain was friendly from the start. He had a great attitude and is very knowledgeable about what he does. It wasn’t long into the trip that it felt just like we were fishing with one of my buddies from back home.

Trip - on May 5, 2026

Our group of three had an awesome time fishing with Captain Chad. Even with less-than-perfect conditions, he kept us on fish the entire 5-hour trip thanks to his impressive knowledge of the area and dedication on the water. Beyond the fishing, Captain Chad made the trip even better with great conversation and plenty of funny stories that kept us laughing throughout the day. We ended the trip with a solid stringer and even better memories. All three of us are already looking forward to booking another trip with Captain Chad!

Trip - Matagorda Afternoon Fishing Charter for Redfish, Black Drum, and Sheepshead on September 22, 2025

I thoroughly enjoyed our fishing trip and afternoon with Captain Chad. He was very knowledgeable about the Matagorda area and it's history. We were dealing with some windy conditions but Captain Chad still found a way to put us on the bite. It was very comfortable fishing 4 people with his boat. I will most definitely be booking another guided fishing trip with Chad again soon.
