East Matagorda Bay Fishing Report
- Jul 24, 2024
- SLOW. 84 degrees. The bay is full of trout and drum, but the unsettled weather makes for unsettled fishing. The bite is usually great on the upswing of a full moon, but the changing wind direction slowed the bite last week. When the winds are out of the southwest or out of the east the bite should improve. The best bite has been wading with croakers. Slot trout are possible, but catches are primarily undersized or oversized. Flounder giggers are doing well. Report by Captain Charlie Paradoski, Captain Charlie Paradoski’s Guide Service.
Zebra Mussel Alert To prevent the spread of zebra mussels, the law requires draining of water from boats and onboard receptacles when leaving or approaching public fresh waters. Get details.
