Palacios Fishing Report

INSHORE – Water temps reached 74 degrees this weekend, warm enough for some to ditch the waders. Wading was best this week with Spring winds. We did find admirable catches while drifting, even in the wind. Boats are available this week. Still a lot of big Trout (Seatrout, Spotted) in the middle of the bay. Tune in the debut of Texas Insider Fishing Report on Fox Sports Southwest beginning April 6. I’ll be giving the middle coast rundown.

Palacios Fishing Report

INSHORE – Although it has been windy lately, there are still some fish to be caught. Trout (Seatrout, Spotted) to 9 pounds are taking live, large Mullet. When you can find sheltered areas or windows of calm winds the drift bite has produced easy limits. From shore or shallow water anglers are hooking scattered Reds (Drum, Red) as well. We expect them to heat up with a bit more favorable weather. Call to book your trip at Matagorda Sunrise Lodge today!

Palacios Fishing Report

INSHORE – The past week probably yielded the best catches of 2017. We only fished early in week due to attending the Houston Fishing Show Wed-Sun, but the two days we fished we released 10 Trout (Seatrout, Spotted) over five pounds while drifting. Our bay system just continues to amaze. There’s not very many places in this world you can catch that many large Trout so consistently. Spring Break is this week. We have boats available. Afternoon fishing is often just as solid as morning trips this time of year.

INSHORE – The Trout (Seatrout, Spotted) and Reds (Drum, Red) are doing well on the Bayfront, Hurricane Cut, East Pocket and the Ranch House. Croaker and Shrimp are doing well to hook them. There are a lot of undersized Trout this week with a few nice sizes mixed in. Reds are steady and anglers are getting limits. They have definitely picked up. Flounder (Flounder, Southern) are biting if you head to the pier, the South shore of Powderhorn Lake or in front of the bay.
