We scheduled two full day offshore fishing trips knowing that if the weather did not cooperate we would fish the bays. As luck would have it we had one great day fishing in the bays with my 4 young adult children and one offshore with my husband, brother and sister-in-law. The kids had an amazing day fishing even though it rained most of the time. Captain Sid was really knowledgeable and worked well with my kiddos. They were super impressed with his casting skills. They caught red fish and black drum that we kept (and he cleaned) and many other fun species including sting rays, lady fish, needle nose gar and of course some catfish! The offshore fishing trip the next day was a about an hour and half off shore to a gas rig. The ride out was pretty rough with the waves as a storm had just rolled past but the day turned out perfect! We spent the day fishing our hearts out. We took home 27 fish including red snapper, mangrove snapper, grouper, trigger fish and even a barracuda! We had lots of excitement as several kingfish circled the boat and tried to steal our catches! We even thought we caught a kingfish at one attempt to steal but it sadly got off. We joined in on the cleaning and packaging up the catch at the end of the day. I would 100% book with Sid again and plan to do a fishing trip every time we visit Matagorda in the future.

Captain Sid was nothing less then amazing. As a couple who recently just started fishing, Sid gave us so many new tips & tricks and made our trip unforgettable. We caught the biggest and most fish we have ever caught in a single day & ate some really great redfish for dinner. He provided great conversation the 8 hours we were out there, along with yummy sandwiches, snacks & drinks. He also provided commitment; as he literally fell into the water as he helped us fight a fish to bring it on board for us & ensured we landed every fish. We booked this trip for our first day on our honeymoon…(we learned we were his first newlyweds) & he went out of his way & gave us personalized shirts for us to keep forever! We will definitely be returning with our family & friends years to come!! Thank you so much for everything. This was absolutely unforgettable!!!

I’ve been on a few charters out of Matagorda and I just had my best experience with Captain Sid! He definitely knows the waters better than most other guides and his boat let us get right up into the back cuts to pull in slot reds (most guides won’t go as shallow in my experience). I highly recommend him and will be using his guide service again!
