Wow! That wind has really been blowing here in Matagorda.
The weather was so nasty today - I couldn't find anyone to get
a fishing report from...If you were tough enough to go out fishing
today, write me and let me know -- I'll tell the world what
a dedicated fisherman you are! |

There were some trout and flounder caught today in

using soft plastics. There is dredging going on at the locks
for the next few days, so you most likely won't be able to get
over to West Matagorda Bay... |

The bays have been kinda slow today. East Matagorda
Bay produced some trout and reds by drifting over the deep shell
reefs. There were also some trout and reds caught by wadefishermen
along the south shoreline. Offshore was real good! Lots of red
snapper and amberjack were caught, and at the first rig there
were redfish and large black drum being caught. From Rawlings
Bait Camp to the jetties, people were catching some big drum
and sheepshead. There were a few flounder being caught at the
mouth of the river. Whiting were caught on the fishing pier
at the beach. And the Diversion Channel is still producing redfish
on soft plastics and shrimp. Pretty good day, huh? |
