Captain "Big John" looks forward to every opportunity to spend time on Matagorda Bay with his clients regardless of their experience or fishing skill level, because he knows he has something to share with them that will make them enjoy their fishing adventure and appreciate their coastal environment, eager to return to Palacios, Texas for another fishing adventure.
A Word from Captain "Big John"
Everyone knows "Fishing" is not necessarily "catching", but with my knowledge and experience spent on the water out of beautiful Palacios nearly every day as a full time fishing guide, the odds are definitely in your favor of coming up on top. I am very passionate about the sport of angling, especially in and around the Matagorda Bay complex, we call home, and love to share what I've learned over a lifetime studying and being part of it. I do my best to teach not only fish catching know-how, but also try to strengthen my client's knowledge and appreciation for the marine ecosystem as a whole by pointing out details as opportunity presents itself. I will customize your fishing adventure, based on our conversation when you book your trip to be certain that we are fishing at the best time and in the best place given the conditions to achieve your fishing goals. I will also do my best to make any special accommodations you or members of your party may need. The safety and comfort of my clients is a top priority. My boat is fully equipped with USCG approved life saving equipment, first aid kit, and I am CPR trained and certified. I run a JH Performance B-235 with a Yamaha 150 HP-TRP Outboard engine, maybe the smoothest, driest, shallow running boat on the bays. I have rods and reels for every skill level fisherman and the finest tackle. All of my equipment is meticulously maintained and serviced and ready to catch fish. I'm ready to go fishing! Give me a call today and we'll have a great day on beautiful Matagorda Bay!
Prices are based on 1-3 persons $100 deposit due when trip is booked. Bait is an extra charge. Fuel surcharge may be charged if necessary. Prices subject to change. Assistance locating lodging is available upon request.

Having
spent his entire life on the Texas coast, Captain "Big John"
developed a deep passion for and keen interest in Texas' unique
coastal habitat at a very young age. This passion fueled a need
for a better understanding of his natural surroundings, especially
its underwater inhabitants. To better understand the undersea world
and fish he loved to pursue, Captain "Big John" studied
fisheries and marine biology at Texas A&M University. After
graduating with his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in fisheries
biology, he practically lived with the fishes, on the water, learning
their behaviors, natural cues and responses to their environment.
