Redfish have been most productive on a falling tide. We're finding them coming out of the back marsh. When we're able to get out to the surf it has be lights out. Been using a mix of artificial and live bait.

Great week. September fishing is notorious for being challenging. During the peak of summer the water temperature is at its hottest, lately I have been seeing water temps around 84. Boat traffic is at an all time high, especially on weekends which can also be detrimental to the bite. Hot water & boat traffic are not appealing to trout, they would prefer cooler temps. Due to this then move out deep seeking cooler water. While this may all sound like doom and gloom, fear not!
Redfish, Black Drum, Sheephead, Flounder, & Catfish...
They still have to eat!

Gigging has been good with limits of flounder and with some good sheepshead, blue crab, stone crab claws and gar kickers. Water has been really clear in Galveston and matagorda area with the low winds in between tides.

Wading and fishing out of the boat have both been good in east matagorda bay, the flats, back lakes, and reefs are covered in redfish and flounder. Been using mostly lure such as topwater, downsouths, and gulp. Live shrimp and cut bait have been productive as well.
