Professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Big fish or limits of fish Capt. Fern can produce them for your Charter.

You're not going to find a better Matagorda bay fishing guide than Capt. Fern. My son and I spent a full day with Fern and we caught limits of trout, redfish and a flounder. My son caught his personal best speck, and another highlight for him was catching a small blacktip shark. Fern was a great instructor and just a fun guy to be around. He is very laid back, but he's also completely wired into the Matagorda Bay fishing. My son was having so much fun that we stayed out longer than expected. I can't recommend him enough. Thanks Fern!
