Strange weekend, lots of big sand trout. 15-16" er's. Even they where hitting a Fatboy. I was wading on the west end and was really shocked at all the changes in the bay that direction. A few of the small shell humps I fished for years are gone, oyster boats got em I guess.
The past two weekends heading back to Sargent I've passed a parade of oyster boats going west in the evening. I love oysters but they've really changed that end of the bay.

Which bay are you talking about, East or West? I think East Matagorda is still closed, the state closed it for two years, not sure if it’s been a full two years yet.

The oyster boats were in the ICW going west. East Matagorda is closed to oyster boats. I'm not sure where they were going, but two weekends in a row I've past them in the ICW in the evening.
I watched the thread last year but not sure that I ever posted in it. Anyhow, I fish the upper coast pretty hard, Sabine and east galv. Hope to be more active in the thread this year. Made a little haul this morning before work. 7 min limit, 17"-19" and 1 short flounder. Fish and boat cleaned by 9. Also may have a trip to port Mansfield mid April.

Nice haul Chase! Stick around, it’s a pretty good group of guys that are active in this thread.

Job well done. I have a friend who would die of thirst before he'd drink that Gatorade.

That's funny, I don't care for fish slimeorade either, but I'm about 2' from the water, I just rinse it off when I need a swig. My boat isn't big enough for a separate drink cooler.
