Matagorda Locks
|
 |
| Directions:
|
You will come into Matagorda from
Bay City on Highway 60 (Fisher Street).
Stay on Fisher Street, go past the blinking light
(Stanley's will be on your left), and keep going on
Fisher Street until you reach Orleans Street. Turn left
on Orleans Street and go one block. Turn right and the
road immediately forks. Take the left fork and follow
the curve around. You will see a gate going into the
Locks Office. Turn to the right and go down the hill
into a parking area. You can fish all along this bank.
It is the intersection of Intracoastal Canal and the
Colorado River. On each side, you will see the river
locks. After the river crosses Intracoastal Canal, it
becomes the Diversion Channel. |
| Fishing: |
This area can be very good fishing at certain
times of the year. You can expect to catch redfish,
flounder, sheepshead, black drum, croaker, and an occasional
speckled trout. It is a good place to catch flounder
in the fall and spring when the flounder migrate between
the bays and the open gulf. |
| Notes: |
The nearest stores are in Matagorda. Bait
is available at Skipper's Bait and Tackle at Matagorda
Harbor or at C & R's Bait Camp near the pontoon
bridge. |
