Captain Terry’s connection to the outdoors began from the day he was born. As a young child, his father handed him a fishing rod and shared essential skills that shaped him into a patient, determined, and successful individual. By sixteen, Terry developed a deep passion for waterfowl hunting, inspiring him to upgrade his first boat for better performance. His growing love for the water fueled his experience, ultimately leading to expertise in hunting. This achievement sparked a desire to share his outdoor experiences with others, which led him to start his brand and charter business in 2015, with the main focus on enjoying the outdoors.
Now, Terry proudly calls Matagorda Bay his home and feels fortunate to work alongside an outstanding group of men and women who rank among Texas’s finest. Your guide can accommodate flexible departure points.
Terry is an exceptional captain. Our family outing was fantastic, with both adults and children having a great time. Everyone caught various types of fish, and the kids gained valuable knowledge. We even landed a fish that was too large to keep, which was a new experience for us!
Captain Terry is kind and courteous. However, although we had booked a gigging trip on the site, when he confirmed the trip, I mentioned our excitement about flounder gigging, but it seemed this wasn’t fully acknowledged, as he simply said it would be a fun time. For those interested in fishing with rod and reel, mornings are the best time to book.
Hello Allen, it’s great to hear you enjoyed your time with Captain Terry. I noticed your note about hoping to gig for flounder, and I apologize that this detail was missed. Unfortunately, Captain Terry doesn’t offer gigging trips, but please contact us and we can arrange one for you nearby.
Terry stands out as the top guide we've encountered in Matagorda. His intimate knowledge of the bay and fish locations, combined with his friendly and attentive nature, made the experience exceptional. A++++.
From beginning to end, Terry and his crew demonstrated professionalism and expertise. We highly recommend them and look forward to returning. What an incredible time! We caught trout and enjoyed every moment.
