Hello from Matagorda, Texas. The offshore fishing season has begun and the charter boats in Matagorda are bringing in limits of big red snapper, kingfish and ling. Kingfish have showed up in the shallow inshore waters area and so have the ling. Our clients have enjoyed some good catches of red snapper, kingfish, ling, yellow edge grouper and scamp grouper in the last week. Plenty of weedlines have been seen as well and there are ling and mahi mahi showing up on them. If the winds calm down, expect to see some good catches of mahi mahi coming in soon as the gulf water gets warmer. July and August are historically good months for them.
Had Scott Armin and his friends out this past weekend and they enjoyed some good catches of red snapper and kingfish.
Also, Brian Hanson and his crew enjoyed some Red Snapper, Kingfish and some Ling to take back to Houston.
Lastly, Chris Finley and his two boys enjoyed some good catches of Red Snapper and Kingfish. Chris’s boys are some fishing machines and they slept the whole way in from offshore.
By the time this article is published, we will be getting close to prime time offshore fishing here on the Texas Coast.
Get in the action and book your offshore trip today.
