What Our Guests Say

5.0 from 13 reviews

Moonlight Marsh is the best rental in POC! It was extremely clean, had thoughtful high-end finishes, and a well laid out floorplan! They even thought to put blackout shades and sound machines in each room. We slept so well! We also enjoyed the oversized sectional for a movie night with the kiddos. The location is perfect with Cathy's just across the street and a quick jog to the beach or boat ramp. If you are looking for a clean and comfortable stay with plenty of room - you've found it!

Fishing Guide

Target Species

Redfish

Year-roundPeak: September – November

The crown jewel of Matagorda Bay. Fall brings trophy bull reds migrating through the passes — sight-fishing in clear shallows is unforgettable.

Speckled Trout

Year-roundPeak: June – August

Peak summer action under birds. Spring spawn offers consistent catches. Winter sight-fishing in gin-clear shallows is a local secret.

Flounder

Year-roundPeak: October – December

The legendary "Flounder Run" sends fish stacking in channels. Gigging and wade fishing produce limits during the fall migration.

Black Drum

Year-roundPeak: March – May

Spring brings aggressive drum to the flats alongside redfish. Excellent on crab and shrimp — great for family fishing trips.

Sheepshead

Year-roundPeak: December – February

Winter's best-kept secret. Find them around jetties and structure. Excellent table fare and a fun challenge on light tackle.

Offshore

April – DecemberPeak: June – September

Blue marlin, sailfish, dorado, tuna, and wahoo offshore. Tarpon blitzes June through October along the beachfront.
