Non-stop bites all day long! Richard and their crew joined us for a spring early morning trip under partly cloudy skies with solid water conditions around Matagorda. Weather stayed comfortable all day and the water was cooperative for our 5 Hour Private Inshore Fishing in Matagorda Bay with Shallowrun Guide Service. Once the stage was set, we worked the flats using sight fishing, drift fishing, and bottom bouncing to target the inshore species. Richard and crew landed some good ol' Speckled Trout, Black Drum, and Redfish throughout the day.

Fishing in Matagorda Bay has been excellent this week, with consistent action across the flats and channels. Redfish have been the stars of the show, schooling along shallow shorelines and responding well to both live shrimp and soft plastics. Many anglers are landing solid slot reds, and we’ve even seen a few oversized bulls putting up exciting fights. Speckled trout are also biting early in the mornings, especially around shell reefs where the bait has been stacked up. Drifting live shrimp under popping corks has been the most reliable setup for steady trout action. Flounder are starting to pick up along drop-offs and muddy bottoms, with several nice keepers coming aboard in recent trips. The fall migration is just around the corner, which means now is a great time to plan for targeting flatfish in the coming weeks. Weather conditions have been favorable, with light winds making for smooth runs across the bay. Overall, anglers booking with Shallowrun Guide Service can expect productive days on the water, with plenty of opportunities to reel in a mixed bag of Texas saltwater favorites.
