Guide Zack Shannon is a dedicated fishing and hunting guide based in Matagorda, Texas. With years of hands-on experience across Matagorda Bay and the surrounding areas, Zack has built a strong reputation for delivering well-organized and rewarding outdoor trips. He brings a deep understanding of local waters and wildlife, ensuring every outing is both safe and productive for his guests.

Zack’s fishing knowledge spans a variety of techniques, including fly fishing, light tackle, and heavy tackle methods.

In addition to conventional angling, Zack also offers unique experiences like bowfishing and flounder gigging, giving guests a range of options depending on the season and their interests. His patient guidance and hands-on teaching style help anglers sharpen their skills while enjoying time outdoors.


Hunting enthusiasts can also join Zack for guided waterfowl trips targeting ducks, geese, and Sandhill Cranes.

Whether it’s setting up in a blind or selecting the right gear, Zack brings a professional, approachable style that puts hunters at ease and sets the stage for a great day in the field.


Zack operates a 24-foot Transport center console bay boat, powered by a Yamaha 250HP engine. Built in 2016, the boat is designed to handle the shallow waters of Matagorda Bay while offering a comfortable ride for up to five guests. With ample space, reliable performance, and well-maintained gear onboard, the boat supports both fishing and hunting trips with ease. Under Zack’s guidance, guests can expect a well-prepared vessel and a smooth, enjoyable experience from launch to return.
