Looking for top-tier Matagorda fishing charters that mix professionalism with pure enjoyment? Fowl Hooked Outfitters delivers. Stationed in the heart of Matagorda, this crew knows every productive shoreline, channel, and bayou in the region. Whether you’re chasing a new personal best or simply craving a salt-spray getaway, the team is ready to guide you.


Captain Kevin Cantu is the driving force behind the operation. His easygoing style, deep local knowledge, and passion for inshore fishing and flats mean you’ll spend less time guessing and more time reeling. From reading tides to scouting grass beds, he’ll explain each move so anglers of every skill level feel confident and included.


Your ride for the day is a sleek, fully restored 22-foot Majek bay boat powered by a dependable 250 HP Yamaha. Modern GPS, fish-finding electronics, and a sizeable livewell come standard, while cushioned seating keeps up to four guests comfortable on those longer runs across the bay.


Matagorda’s fertile waters hold a favorite Gulf Coast lineup—Flounder, Speckled Trout, Redfish, and hard-fighting Black Drum. Captain Kevin typically employs light-tackle drift fishing, but when the sun dips low, he can switch to Flounder gigging for a true Texas classic. Whichever style you choose, be ready for steady rod bends.


Planning family fishing trips Matagorda TX style? Kids are more than welcome, and the captain happily adjusts the itinerary to match younger anglers’ attention spans. Keep your catch if you wish; Kevin will clean and fillet everything at the dock so dinner is one less thing to think about.


Curious about the best time to fish in Matagorda Bay? Spring bait migrations and fall temperature drops consistently produce peak action, but with year-round resident species, any season can reward a well-placed cast. Reserve your date, grab the required Texas fishing license, and pack snacks and drinks—Fowl Hooked Outfitters will handle the rest
