West Matagorda Bay Fishing Report
- Jul 2, 2025
- GOOD. 82 degrees. Light southeast winds, and better currents near the full moon has improved the trout bite. Wade or drift the reefs with artificials or live bait for catches of trout. Few catches of redfish, with primarily undersized fish. Report by Captain Charlie Paradoski, Captain Charlie Paradoski’s Guide Service. Anticipate increased boater traffic this weekend as we celebrate our Nation’s Independence Day.
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.
