Rosemarie and I fished E. Matagorda yesterday with a 20-25mph S wind, most of the S shoreline held good colored water for about 200yds out. We arrived at our fishing spot about 7 am and observed good bait and fish activity. This would be Rosemarie's second wade fishing trip, so she was nervous. After a very slow walk down the edge of the grass we made it to the back of the cove and started our 200yd grind towards the drop off. Both of us missed several hookups and lost a couple of fish during the battle but we landed several juvenille reds and Rosemarie was rewarded with a beautiful 23in trout. Not the big girl we were looking for but this was still a very enjoyable trip.
