Reel in Summer Excitement: Matagorda's Inshore Hotspots Await!

One for the books today! Summer fishing in Matagorda, TX brought us some fantastic action on the water. I had the pleasure of taking Richard out for a 5-hour inshore trip with Shallowrun Guide Service. We kicked off early, launching from Matagorda Harbor as the sun was just starting to peek over the horizon. The weather was a bit touch-and-go at first, but it cleared up nicely in the afternoon, though we kept an eye out for possible storms. Water conditions in Matagorda were prime for what we had planned.

Once the stage was set, we got down to business with some serious inshore fishing. We mixed it up between live bait fishing, wade fishing, and drift fishing to cover all our bases. The redfish were biting, and Richard managed to land a nice 23-incher. That's a solid catch that put up a good fight! We worked the area thoroughly, using our local knowledge to hit the best spots. As the day progressed, the clearing skies seemed to energize the fish, and we found ourselves with plenty of action to keep us busy.

We wrapped up our 5-hour adventure with smiles all around. While we didn't break any records, that 23-inch redfish was definitely the highlight of our trip. It's days like this that remind me why Matagorda is such a great spot for inshore fishing. The mix of techniques we used really showcased what this area has to offer, from the shallow flats perfect for wade fishing to the deeper channels where drift fishing can be so productive.
