Over 40 years fishing experience

Ozzie has lived in Bay City all his life, and he started fishing when he was 7. At that time, you admired a man that had a boat with a 70 horsepower motor. As he grew up, Ozzie spent as many weekends fishing in Matagorda as possible.  Ozzie bought his first boat in 1977 and has been fishing East and West Matagorda Bay ever since. He shrimped commercially in the late 70's  and early 80's, and has oystered East and West Matagorda Bay for 30 years.

"The Pelican"
Ozzie's friends gave him the nickname "Pelican" because he always catches fish when no one else can. Ozzie knows where the fish will be feeding, what bait works best, and when the fish will be biting.  Ozzie has lived up to the name Pelican.

Ozzie enjoys teaching anyone who wants to learn how to fish. He has extensive knowledge of the bay system and 44 years of fishing experience.  Articles about Ozzie have been published in Texas Parks and Wildlife and Heartland Magazine.  Ozzie has shared his fishing experience with people from all over the United States, and looks forward fishing with you.

Born and raised in Matagorda Bay area, he has spent many hours on these waters and has the experience to insure that your fishing trip will be safe, successful, fun trip. Capt. Sexton has been professionally guiding Bay fishing trips for ten years, very consistently catching fish, and showing his clients why the Matagorda Bay Complex has the reputation for outstanding Texas saltwater fishing. Give us a call and get in on some of the best saltwater fishing the Texas Gulf Coast has to offer!

Capt. Sexton's preferred method of fishing is with bait, when bait is in season. This because he has found that his clients have more success fishing with natural baits. During the winter season, lures are used exclusively. Capt. Ray has a passion for wade fishing with lures and has found wade fishing to be the most productive way of fishing. Drift fishing or "anchoring up" trips are available for those clients who prefer to fish out of the boat; the best time of year to fish this method is in the fall or early spring.

While fishing with Capt. Ray Sexton, you will be aboard a 22' 6" Marshall boat powered by a 175Hp 4-Stroke Suzuki, providing a smooth, quiet ride.
