It’s been a while since I've been able to make it to the coast. Weather wasn't the best but it was manageable. Temps started off in the 50's warming up to over 60 in the afternoon. Winds were from the East at 10-15 mph. I would have been happy sticking around Mitchell’s cut but there was a ton of freshwater in the area from all the recent rain. We headed off into the bay around 9am towards halfmoon shoal. Fished with dead mullet and plastics for a while with no luck. Had to resort to these baits as no one had fresh bait that day. Saw some birds working South of halfmoon and decided to make a drift into them. Caught one keeper drum on natural gulp under poppin cork. That would be the only fish of the morning. Made several drifts around Bird Island and the South shoreline with no luck. Went back out that afternoon and fished the intercoastal for drum with no luck. The picture below is from a couple of months back. I read an article in this months edition of Texas Saltwater Magazine on Matagorda Snook. I just wanted to confirm that snook are in Matagorda Bay. This one was caught by my dad in Mitchell’s cut on a plastic cocahoe. No video report this time but thanks for reading. Looking forward to a few bass trips in the upcoming weeks before heading back to the coast.
