FISHING
REPORT - Dec 22, 2008
 Cast-n-blast
trips have been awesome to say the least! With limits of Pintails, Widgeon, Gadwall,
Redheads + the fishing being great has been a blessing to say the least! Saturday
I had Brian Keen and group out of Alvin, Tx for a good ol Cast-n-Blast. All I
can say is that the hunting and fishing both made for an awesome day! Birds flew
early in the morning and shut down quick but we still busted down enough to satisfy
us until the evening. So we got the rods and reels out and quickly began catching
trophy redfish, several at the 32" mark, and limits of 27 to the 28"
mark. We just thought it'd not ever end with that awesome Red Fish bite! With
our limits of Reds and still catching em we came to the conclusion that we should
chase trophy Trout. We tied on our Corkys and went for the chase. We busted a
26" and a few more in the 23" range, but the Reds would not leave us
alone, but we will not complain about that, nothing better than a big Red trying
to spool ya. 3:00 pm came way to fast and I decided we needed to get back in that
Duck Blind. The birds decided to fly at dark, but we had a good shoot 30 minutes
before the sun layed with loads of Pintail and Redheads wanting to light in the
decoys. It was a great trip in the good ol outdoors with the hunting and fishing
combined! Duck season ends January 25 th, so it will not be long before it's over,
get your hunt in on this good season we're having. LIkewise the fishing is just
as good, so if you are either a hunter or a fisherman, this is your time of year
to do it all. Good Luck to you all and I thank you for looking.www.matagordabayfishingguide.com www.capthollisforrester.com   |
For the most part it has been windy with those stout south and south-east
winds, which can become a bit irritating at times. We've not paid much attention
to it though because those were the days that the big gals were biteing. I 've
been beggin for some sunshine during the day, but we've not had a good solid sunny
day in some time. Sunshine is a good thing because it warms those grassy flats
up, and the bait fish and fish in general love it, its kinda like a heating blanket.
Pictured here are some of the fish we've been producing. There are two 29"
Trout here that went 8 1/2 lbs, one with I , and the other Captain Dustin Lee.
A 26" that Joe caught "customer", and a 27 1/2 " that i had
caught just after the 29" ! We expect to be producing fish like this throughout
the winter, so give us a shout for a good time out in the bay and the chance for
a trophy!

Dec
15...... Wintertime down in Matagorda, Tx is fianlly setting in "finally"!
Now that the fish are settleing in where they ought to be, we've been landing
some beautiful Trout and Redfish wade fishing the bay. Trophy Trout have been
out numbering the Red Fish, but that's ok with me, you will not see me gripe about
that one bit. Slow working Corkys over light mud and shell has been our ticket
and has paid off big-time for some awesome fish. If you've not ever had any success
with a Corky or just completely given up on it, be rethinking of giving it another
try. If you think you'd rather learn hands on then give us a shout to teach you
what you need to know on the tactics of winter fishing trout and the art of the
Corky.
