Antonio Chapa, Guide at Matagorda Guide Service

Experience the ultimate coastal adventure with Antonio Chapa of Matagorda Guide Service, where passion for the water translates into an unforgettable day on the Texas coast. As a premier Matagorda Bay fishing guide, Antonio turned his lifelong love for angling into a professional career, driven by a deep-seated desire to share the beauty of these local waters with others.


If you are looking for the best Matagorda Bay fishing guide for wade fishing, look no further than Antonio’s specialized approach to these unique bay systems. Matagorda is legendary for its diverse underwater structures and versatile year-round fishing opportunities, making it a premier destination in every season. Guests frequently target the "Texas Big Three"—Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Flounder—while navigating the pristine flats and marshes that make this region a true angler's paradise.


What truly sets this guide service apart is a commitment to world-class hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. Antonio finds his greatest joy in guiding newcomers, finding it incredibly rewarding to help a novice land their very first catch. Beyond the technical skills of finding fish, he prides himself on being an excellent host who promises a high-energy, positive environment. Families are a top priority here, and Antonio is exceptionally good with kids, ensuring the next generation of anglers feels safe, confident, and excited.


Your journey takes place aboard a high-performance 25' Majek center console, a specialized "fishing machine" designed to navigate the shallow reaches of the bay with ease. The vessel comfortably accommodates up to four passengers and comes fully equipped with high-quality rods and reels. While the captain provides the professional gear and expertise, guests are encouraged to bring their own snacks and non-spray sunscreen to stay comfortable during their time on the water.


To ensure a smooth trip, remember to secure a valid Texas fishing license with the appropriate saltwater stamps before your arrival. Safety and preparation are key: remember to pack polarized sunglasses, bottled water, and child-sized life vests if you have specific preferences, though safety gear is available on board. From the scenic views to the tug on the line, Antonio Chapa is dedicated to providing a professional, productive, and fun-filled excursion for every guest who steps onto his boat.
