Offshore fishermen had a good day of snapper
fishing at the rigs. East and West Matagorda Bay both produced
a fair amount of trout today. Along the south shoreline in East
Bay there were two really nice trout caught - an eight-pounder
and a six-pounder. We also heard that Gold Tip Guide Service
came in Friday with a nine pound trout. |

Offshore fishing was great today with lots
of red snapper being brought in. Closer to home the Diversion

and there were also flounder caught in the same location. In
West Matagorda Bay and in Oyster Lake fair amounts of redfish
were also caught. Drifting over scattered shell in the middle
of East Matagorda Bay produced some nice trout. In the river
down around the jetties fishermen were catching sheephead and
whiting. |

Today was the last day of the Troutmasters tournament,
and what a day for fishing! The wind was blowing so hard that
it was howling through the trees down here. It turned off cold,
too, so it was really a poor day of fishing. Some fish were
caught here and there -- scattered reports but nothing to speak
of. |
