Reel in Summer Action: Matagorda's Inshore Hotspots Deliver!

Non-stop bites all day long! Summer fishing in Matagorda TX is hard to beat, and our recent 5-Hour Fishing Adventure with Shallowrun Guide Service proved just that. The early morning start at 6:00 am had us launching from Matagorda Harbor under partly cloudy skies. Despite the possibility of storms later in the day, conditions were perfect for our inshore expedition. Richard joined me for a day of targeting some of Matagorda's finest inshore species. The water looked promising as we set out from Shallowrun Guide Service.

With our gear rigged and ready, we wasted no time getting to the prime fishing spots. I employed a variety of techniques to give us the best shot at hooking into some quality fish. The inshore waters around Matagorda offer diverse habitats, and we took full advantage, working different areas throughout the morning. Our persistence paid off when Richard landed a nice 17-inch Spotted Weakfish. It was a solid catch that really got our trip off to a great start. We continued working the area, adjusting our approach based on the fish's behavior and the changing conditions. We wrapped up the trip with great time and smiles all around!
