Fishing
was real good this morning but it slowed down
in the afternoon because of the wind. In East
Matagorda Bay, fishing under the birds along
the north shoreline produced nice-sized trout
and some reds on live shrimp and artificials.
The same held true for West Matagorda Bay,
although the trout were smaller but more plentiful.
Fishing on live shrimp outside of the Diversion
Channel in West Bay produced some trout and
reds. All in all, it was a nice day to fish
until the wind picked up this afternoon. |

Lots
of redfish were caught today in Oyster Lake
drift fishing with live bait. Fishing with
artificial bait (dark-colored Bassassassins
and Norton Sandeels) under scattered birds
along the north shoreline in West Matagorda
Bay produced some trout until the wind picked
up out of the east. East Matagorda Bay also
produced some trout under birds on the north
shoreline using artificials. |

Drifting
reefs along the north shoreline of East Matagorda
Bay and fishing under the birds produced trout
and redfish today. The fish were being caught
on live shrimp and the darker Texas Trout
Killers. The wind was out of the northeast
at about 10 m.p.h. The water was generally
muddy except for a few clear spots along the
north shoreline where the fish were being
caught. Live bait was available. |

Very
windy today! Few people went out fishing.
There were some trout, redfish and sheepshead
caught on live shrimp while drift fishing
in Oyster Lake. A few fish were caught off
Intercoastal Waterway in the cuts leading
to Crab Lake. (Crab Lake is between the Locks
and Mad Island Slough.) Live bait is plentiful
right now. |

Thunderstorms have
made it touch-and-go as far as fishing
goes. There is a real likelihood of being
caught in a brief downpour, so bring your
rain parkas.Speckled trout were being
caught in East Matagorda Bay today --
drifting under the birds. Wade fishing
on the north shoreline of East Matagorda
Bay produced some nice speckled trout.
Trout were being caught on artifical baits
and live shrimp. No report from offshore.
