I'll be headed back down to Matagorda for the weekend (Oct 15th & 16th). I will have a report and some fish tales soon...
Is there any reports for East and West Bay recently?

Well, we made it down for another trip. We didn't have the luck we anticipated, but we still caught our fair share and had a great time as always.
We first tried East Bay on the 15th. There were several others in the bay and chasing the birds, but it didn't appear anyone was having any luck. We were able to catch some Sand Trout, but that was all. We finally moved to the South side of bay and got into the rough and muddy waters. After drifting for a few minutes, we got into some good Red's, but after landing a few, the fun was over. At least we were able to put some fish in the box.
The fishing was so slow, we decided to quit around 1:00 and headed into the harbor for lunch. During lunch, we caught Russell's shrimp boat coming in with some bait. We grabbed some and decided to head out to West Bay.

We decided to check out one of our special honey holes and we able to land some good fish. We loaded the boat with some Sand Trout, Red Drum, and a nice Flounder. Sunset finally arrived and we headed back to the harbor for some dinner and rest up for an early morning start.

The next morning, we went straight back to our honey hole in West Bay. The water was beautiful and the conditions were great. We arrived at our location and was getting ready to start and was interrupted by a couple of air boats traveling through. They decided to blow right next to us. We were not happy, but we didn't let it ruin our day. We were still able to put some more fish in the box before we had to head back home. It must have been a day where all the careless people were out, because prior to leaving we had a shallow bay runner come in and blow right by us and across the shell reef we were fishing. Then he preceded to do the same to another group fishing down from us. Not sure what that nut was thinking, but the other boat went over to them and it look like a friendly conversation. Luckily, we were just preparing to leave, so it didn't upset us as much.
Overall, we had another successful trip and were able to have a nice feast of fish when we got back home

I'm planning a trip there what kind of water depth are you finding in east and west bay. Which is deeper? And I know the tides but average....
I don't have a fancy tunnel hull boat.
