The Local Lineup: Fish to Catch

Alright, let's talk targets. Matagorda Bay is home to some real heavy hitters, and we're gonna break 'em down for you.

First up, the redfish. These copper-colored bulldogs are what Matagorda dreams are made of. They'll test your drag and your biceps, often tipping the scales at 20-30 pounds. Fall is prime time for reds, but you can catch 'em year-round. Nothing beats the sight of a tailing red in shallow water – it's like they're begging you to cast their way.

Next, we've got speckled trout. These silver beauties are the bread and butter of Texas inshore fishing. They're quick, they're feisty, and man, are they tasty. Spring and fall are your best bets for big specs, but summer can be lights out too. Topwater action for trout at dawn? That's the stuff fishing dreams are made of.

Don't sleep on the southern flounder. These flatfish might not look like much, but they're sneaky fighters and absolute delicacies on the dinner table. Fall is the golden season for flounder as they start their migration to the Gulf. Drifting live bait along channel edges? That's flounder fishing 101.

Last but not least, sheepshead. These striped convicts are the unsung heroes of inshore fishing. With their strong jaws and crafty nature, they're a real challenge to hook. But man, once you figure them out, it's game on. Winter and early spring are prime time for sheepshead around structure and oyster reefs. Just remember, when you feel the bite, set the hook hard – these guys are notorious bait stealers!
