| Well this week was a
busy one down in Matagorda. With dove season coming to a close and more ducks
and geese moving in day by day, it will soon be the best time to be in Matagorda.
Capt. Ken Marshall had a couple good days. After a week in south texas,
Capt. Ken was back on the water sat. with Matt Davis, his father Ron, Mike and
King. The conditions were perfect and they boxed 34 trout 4 reds and several sandies.
Sunday was a great day for Robert and Jerry Steves. 3 reds and a limit of trout
up to 22 inches along with a few sandies. Monday's trip was cancelled when heavy
rains and lightning sent them back to the dock just as they had boxed their first
fish.
Capt. Scott Reeh ran the cast part of a cast and blast trip out
of the Full Stringer Lodge with 4 J Outfitters running the show for the Mac Steel
group. Jeremy Bryan, owner and guide of 4 J Outfitters, had Capt. Reeh run half
of his party out for a morning fish while he took the other half to duck hunt.
Working MidCoast Products Evolution corks and DOA shrimp along with DOA Cal swimming
shad, Thomas, Mike and Jose were able to box 14 trout and 1 red in the river.
When the bite slowed around 9:30, the only thing that produced fish was the pop/slurp
sound of the Evolution cork! Way to go Lane and Glen for making a great pop'n
cork.
After the morning fish and duck hunt. Jeremy took his group on a evening
dove hunt. David Cassady, owner of Full Stringer Lodge. was invited along for
the hunt. Full limits and happy clients was the report I got from Captain Reeh.
Another fun filled weekend in Matagorda was had by all!
Capt. Mark Talasek
fished with Steve Bixel in west bay on Monday boxing 12 trout and 2 redfish. They
drifted Shell Island where they hammered the fish last week. Gulp under a popping
cork was the ticket to success. Tuesday. Capt. Talasek took Steve to east bay
for some bigger fish. They found some better trout under the birds boxing 18 and
then chasing down 3 reds in the back lakes. Harold Boehnke was onboard Wednesday
for a half day trip. Seven trout hit the ice before retreating to the lakes to
box 5 slot reds. Tom Johnson fished back east with Capt. Talasek on Friday where
they boxed a dozen specs and 3 redfish with dark colored Bass Assassins. Saturday
he took a group from Picket Plumming to the back lakes to get away from the crowds.
Schools of redfish were working in the shallow water. Bass Assassins duped 7 more
fat reds along with 2 trout. Sunday he finished up in east bay with Steven Maeker
boxing 14 trout and 3 redfish.
Capt. Rob Cummings had a good week catching
his fish on soft plastics in east bay under the birds. Good numbers of trout to
20 inches and limits of trout and all the sandies you wanted fell to his clients
fishing birds, shell and mud. These fish were caught on natural colored plastics
on 1/4 oz jigheads. Capt. Rob waded one day last week and caught trout up to 26
inches on corkys. Reds were harder to find due to the tide! Overall fishing was
good.
This week was awesome so you need to come down and fish. This is
the best time of the year to fish in Matagorda. The big trout are in full swing.
. . Cast and Blasts are available through the lodge and the guides that are partners.
These trips are very fun. . . .
Tight
