Lots of tailing pods around the past couple weeks, tough light to pick up single fish. But happy tailers and backing fish make the clouds ok.

Catching lots of trout wading the shorelines of East and West Galveston Bay. Getting a few on topwaters, but most bites are on soft plastics (Down South Lures in color "Pink Flamingo").

Trip: Matagorda Bay & Beyond
★★★★★
We had an absolutely outstanding trip this past Saturday fishing in Matagorda. I took my four sons, and our captain could not have done a better job. From start to finish, he was professional, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure the boys had a great experience. He knew where to go, worked hard to put us on fish, and made the whole day easy and enjoyable. What stood out most to me was how well he treated my sons. He was patient with them, coached them, encouraged them, and made sure each of them felt included. That means a lot to a dad. The boat was clean, the gear was ready, and everything was handled with confidence and care. It was clear we were with someone who knows Matagorda waters and takes pride in giving people a great day on the water. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for a great captain, especially for a family trip, this is the guy. We made some great memories, and my boys are still talking about it. We will definitely be back.

Mark was a great guide. I’ve been on many charters but Mark definitely took things to a whole new level. He made sure we caught a fish and helped us the entire catch. Mark is very knowledgeable in his craft and I’ll definitely be returning to him in the near future.
