Daniel's crew hammered Bull Sharks & Reds in Matagorda waters!

Hot bite and happy crew! Daniel and their crew joined us for a fall afternoon session under partly cloudy skies here in Matagorda. Water conditions were solid for our 5-Hour Afternoon Fishing with Captain Chad trip, and y'all know how good ol' Matagorda can be when everything lines up right. Shallowrun Guide Service was fixin' to put these folks on some quality inshore action.

With our gear rigged and ready, we worked the flats using bottom fishing and live bait techniques along with some drift fishing to cover water. Daniel's crew hammered down on Bull Shark and Redfish throughout the afternoon. The tug is the drug, and Matagorda's shallow water structure makes it perfect for this kind of inshore fishing where live bait and bottom rigs really shine. We wrapped things up with smiles all around and some big ol' memories made!

This Trip is One Click Away

If you're lookin' to git-r-done on your next fishing adventure, holler at us for a Matagorda Afternoon Fishing Charter. Our inshore fishing trips target Redfish, Black Drum, and Sheepshead in these productive waters where bottom fishing and live bait techniques consistently produce results. I reckon Matagorda's diverse structure and year-round fishing opportunities make it one of the top inshore destinations on the Texas coast. Whether you're after that trophy redfish or just want to experience quality inshore fishing action, our private charters include all gear and live bait so you can focus on the fishing. Matagorda's shallow flats and back lakes offer perfect habitat for multiple species, and our afternoon trips take advantage of prime feeding times when fish are most active. Book your Matagorda inshore fishing charter with Shallowrun Guide Service and experience why this area produces some of the most consistent fishing on the coast!
