Charlie Paradoski Fishing Guide Service offers guided saltwater fishing trips on Matagorda Bay, Texas — the same general area referenced by “Top Shelf Fishing Charters,” researched earlier this session. Captain Charlie Paradoski brings more than 30 years of experience fishing the Matagorda Bay system and its surrounding waters, and has been featured in Gulf Coast Connections, Texas Fish & Game, and the Houston Chronicle.

Charlie knows all of the best fishing spots on the bay and the best times to target Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Flounder, running a 2008 Triton LTS fishing boat for on-the-water trips, with wade fishing also available for anglers wanting to cast from the surf. All charters depart from Matagorda Harbor at daybreak.

Full Day Fishing Trips run $650 for 1-3 people (returns 4pm, $50 per additional person), and Half Day Fishing Trips run $550 for 1-3 people (returns noon, $100 per additional person) — both requiring a $300 deposit and carrying a $300 cancellation fee. The business provides rods and reels for drift fishing, fishing lures, ice, and cleaned and bagged fish at the end of the trip; guests bring their own rods and reels for wading, sunglasses, a cap, food and drinks, and a Texas fishing license with saltwater stamp.

Captain Charlie works with both seasoned anglers chasing a trophy fish and complete novices getting into saltwater fishing for the first time, in a genuinely productive fishery just a short boat ride from the harbor.

For anglers of any experience level near Matagorda Bay, Texas looking for a deeply experienced, more than 30-year established guided fishing trip, Charlie Paradoski Fishing Guide Service offers a well-equipped operation with Captain Charlie Paradoski.
