Captain Mike Lowe's Fishing Reports

Fall 08
 
 
Fished mid-bay reefs in East Matagorda Bay with Keith Casey and friends, produced mixed bags with half limits of trout and reds

Looking for big trout:
Carlos Rubio had a personnel best of 28 1/2 inches topping the scales at over 7 lbs. Caught on a bone super spook jr.
 

 

All day grind:
Best producing stringer of the year! 8-10 flounder and close to limits of redfish. Concentrating in and around drains.

Picture perfect day:
Approached the fishing grounds as trout crashed bait. Had a limit in 20 minutes. Unfortunately, no one else was there to share in the experience. Still catching a good number of flounder too.

First-timers:
Took out a family from Utah. It was their first time fishing artificials for trout. We fished under the birds with Berkley Gulps and topwaters.

Two-a-days:
Keith and his buddies wade fished the back drains, Cains Cover and Oyster Farm. Main focus was on redfish - ended up catching trout as well.

Same evening took a quick trip out with Ken Shupak - solid numbers, but no big trout.

Two Joes, Three Days:
Joe and Joe Calla fished with me for three days.

First day: Lake Austin - huge schools of trout under birds, 50-60 trout with a handful of reds. Good fish fry that night!

Second day: 25-30 mph north winds - went out anyway to fish the back tributaries in Lake Austin - tough fishing (two reds and one flounder).

Third day: it was the day after the front - poled through the flats looking for shallow water reds, they still had lock jaw, but we managed a handful of 24-26 inch reds.
