October 18, 2011.....Last week my bookings were light so I headed south to do a little hunting. Fishing most the week was great, I was told. Back on the water Saturday with a big group. I had Capt.

************************************ Matagorda Bay fishing Report for October 2, 2011 Fall is finally here. Cooler temps will
push the shrimp out of the marsh and into the bay and get the birds
working. This past Sat. Robert and Jerry Steves and Philip caught limits
of trout. Live shrimp under Midcoast corks worked best.
***************************************** Report for August 29, 2011 Drifting continues to produce trout and
a few reds. The bigger trout are starting to show up. In the past week
we've caught several 23 to 27 inchers. The bays are in great shape and
full of bait. The surf has also been calm and clear most days.
***************************************
*********************************** Matagorda Bay fishing report for August 08, 2011 Not a bad weekend
for drifting. We've been fishing half days and getting off the water
by 10:30 or 11:00 to beat the heat. Friday was the toughist day,boxing
9 keepers for Don Evans and family. Each day the morning bite got better.
Saturday I fished with Steven and Meredith and her grandfather Nick
from Bryan Tx. They were new to bay fishing, but caught on quik. Nick,
at 81 years old, had some great stories to tell about crappie and catfishing
on Lake Conroe that brought back memories of my younger days on that
lake. They fished hard all morning and turned a tough day into a good
box of 17 solid trout to 23 inches and one red. Sunday morning we had
the best action early. I fished Jim and Larry Quimby. Larry had flown
in from Moscow, Russia where he works and lives. He had just left a
great salmon bite to meet up with his brother and sons, Scott and David.We
found a good school of solid trout up to 24 inches with most over 18
inches. We ended our morning with 24 trout.
****************************************
July 31, 2011 Drifting continues to produce although the
bay hasnt been in great shape. The last couple weeks we've had windy
days, then a couple calm days, then west winds and low tides. Early
morning has been best and producing a dozen keepers to 3 lbs.for half
day efforts. Twice lately, either prefishing or fishing a tournament
we did leave solid keepers biting looking for bigger fish.This past
Saturday, Matagorda held the JP Moody Memorial Tournament. My team...O
''fish'' ally the best....included Dale Smith,Owen, Aron and Trent....
We started off drifting mid bay and boxed around a dozen trout and a
small red. Mid morning we went hunting for bigger reds. The third spot
we stoped on Trent and Owen hooked up at the exact same time. The first
one landed was just a hair shy of 28 and weighed a whopping 8.7 lbs.
The other one was over 24 inches and fat.
********************************************** Matagorda Bay fishing report for July 19, 2011 Sunday John Cortez and company caught
dozens of short trout and boxed a dozen solid keepers to 24 inches and
a red. The bite was slow in the early morning, then turned on about
9:30. Monday Don Browning and Jimmy [ AKA Grumpy Old Men] had a great
morning catching thier limits drifting. They boxed twenty and released
40 to 50 short trout.
****************************** Matagorda Bay fishing report for July 12, 2011 The past several days have been consistant. The fish are on deep shell or sand bottom.Live bait continues to produce best. The action has been steady for trout up to 23 inches.
Matagorda Bay fishing report for July 5, 2011 Light winds and a stong incoming tide
during this past weekend set up a good bite. We fished Sat and Sun.
Both days we caught 80 to 100 trout and reds. A lotta undersize and
boxed 20 each day with trout up to 22 inches.
Despite all the wind, the past few
days have been pretty good. Last Friday morning the wind was howling,
the bay's were wrecked and the tides were too low to fish back lakes.
But people still want to fish. I headed up the river, mostly to escape
the wind. We set up and and instantly rods were bending. Undersize trout,
skipjacks, and gaftops every cast all morning. We caught over 80 short
trout and boxed a half dozen keepers. Sat. I headed back, but the fish
had vanished. We moved up the river a little farther and found a better
school of fish. We caught around 50 trout and a few reds, and boxed
15 keeper trout up to 22 inches and one red. Sunday was a carbon copy,
15 trout and one keeper red. Monday started off great, but the bite
didnt last long. Seven solid trout and a flounder made the box.
