Matagorda Bay Fishing Report
Fishing Report

May 18, 2012

After an extended winter, summertime is upon us. Winds continue to blow hard much of the week. But when it lays catching has been great over deep shell in east matagorda bay. Live shrimp under a cork has worked equally as well as gulp. Most of the trout have come early before the wind picks up. Redfish are starting to show up in lakes off the ICW. I have found pods feeding in shallow water. The matagorda jetty even produced limits of redfish and trout in May. The water turned green for several days and the bite was on. West bay has been slow for redfish in the boat. But waders throwing soft plastics and live bait have taken good boxes of trout. Watch out for the shark though. I had a couple of fish taken off my stringer by the man in the grey suit. Things should continue to heat up into June. Winds should start to subside. Fishing patterns should stabilize.

Cool fronts continue to push south late into April. Stiff winds have pinned us on protected shorelines. When conditions subside between fronts east bay has produced trout to six pounds. Drifting live shrimp deep under a popping cork has been the ticket. I have been fishing deep shell in streaky water. When the wind blows I have ventured down west. Drains in the Cottons area have been holding limits of redfish for waders. Roach colored soft plastics have worked well. There's an abundance of bait in the area right now. It should continue to produce good catches of trout and reds into the summer months. Redfish action for those wanting to stay in the boat is improving. When water temperatures maintain above the 75 degree mark action should improve even more. April is just a tough month to fish in the boat. The Colorado River is holding trout at night under the lights. Flounder gigging has been on fire as well for all the night owls. Look forward to seeing you on the water. Captain Mark Talasek
