“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
The crown jewel of Matagorda Bay. Fall brings trophy bull reds migrating through the passes — sight-fishing in clear shallows is unforgettable.
Speckled Trout
Peak summer action under birds. Spring spawn offers consistent catches. Winter sight-fishing in gin-clear shallows is a local secret.
Flounder
The legendary "Flounder Run" sends fish stacking in channels. Gigging and wade fishing produce limits during the fall migration.
Black Drum
Spring brings aggressive drum to the flats alongside redfish. Excellent on crab and shrimp — great for family fishing trips.
Sheepshead
Winter's best-kept secret. Find them around jetties and structure. Excellent table fare and a fun challenge on light tackle.
Offshore
Blue marlin, sailfish, dorado, tuna, and wahoo offshore. Tarpon blitzes June through October along the beachfront.

The Freeze Out
One of the toughest inshore tournaments on the Texas Coast. Top anglers brave winter conditions for redfish and trout in Matagorda Bay.
