I fished with 3 anglers in West Matagorda bay on Saturday and we had limits of red's focusing on small drains and backwaters.Most of the fish came on Gamblers in the Texas Tea color,however we did catch a few early on topwaters.I caught a few on a Corky Devil fished real slow just under the surface.There was not much tide movement for much of the day and the red's were not actively chasing bait,every once in a while a tail would bust the surface. They were there and you could catch them if you stood in one spot motionless and quite for a bit.The main issue was the boat traffic that kept blasting in and out on the flats.This would shut down the bite for an hour.These boats would run in and everyone would jump out of the boat right in the middle on redfish, wade and hour with no fish because there boat noise shut down the bite.Then blast out and prolong the dead bite.I had caught a limit of red's before they got there and after they left caught 5 more slot fish.... when the reds settled down from the boat beating they were getting they would eat.We had 30 or so slot redfish from 2 seperate locations,we kept 7 slots for the guy's to take home.We didn't have any keeper Trout, but the focus was red's from the start.My guy's also accused me of burning the shoreline....... and I wasn't even in the boat...
