Matagorda Inshore Fishing Charters

Discover the Hidden Power of Matagorda’s Inshore Waters with Fowl Hooked Outfitters

You’ve heard the stories—“Matagorda’s too quiet,” or “The big fish are offshore.” But ask any local angler who knows the tides, the flats, and the feeding patterns, and they’ll tell you: the real action happens inshore. The truth is, Matagorda Bay is one of Texas’s best-kept fishing secrets. And when you pair these waters with a seasoned guide like Captain Kevin Cantu of Fowl Hooked Outfitters, you’re not just booking a fishing trip—you’re signing up for a real-deal coastal experience.

Unlike the crowded jetties or deep-sea marathons, inshore fishing in Matagorda is about precision, skill, and strategy. It’s where shallow-water Redfish tail through ankle-deep grass beds, where Flounder bury themselves in sandy flats, and where Speckled Trout strike hard along shell-strewn reefs. Whether you’re wading the shoreline or drifting quietly across a bayou, every cast holds the promise of a fight—and every trip reveals something new about the water, the weather, and the fish.

Why Inshore Fishing in Matagorda Is a Must-Do

Matagorda Bay is uniquely positioned on the mid-coast of Texas, offering a diverse inshore ecosystem that's both abundant and accessible year-round. The area is fed by the Colorado River and bordered by untouched marshes and sprawling flats—ideal conditions for species like Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Black Drum. Unlike larger commercial areas, Matagorda has preserved its small-town charm and laid-back vibe, giving anglers a peaceful setting to focus on the fishing.

Fishing with Fowl Hooked Outfitters gives you insider access to these waters. Captain Kevin doesn’t just follow charts—he studies patterns, tracks bait movement, and adjusts tactics by season and tide.
