Report Out: Twelve of us drove from Houston to Pass Christian, Mississippi to join DMJ Charters on their ship “Backdraft”. The weather cooperated for us…windy the first day, then good after that. We had a combination of conventional and fly fisherman, both from boats and wading. We landed reds, specs, and jacks. The food and accommodations were outstanding. Pics tell only part of the story:
TRIP REPORT: A great morning. Four kayakers arrived at 630am, as planned, and were in the water fishing by ~715am. Fishing was good, with 13 largemouth bass and over 50 perch caught on top water (VIP poppers and spiders). Five (5) of the lmb were 3+lbs…nice fish. Beautiful lake, only a couple other kayaks and one boat. Even had a couple alligator sightings, but no issues.
We got pushed off the water by weather at about 11am….rain started with some thunder in the distance. Made a good decision and packed up. But the morning was worth it.
The lake and campground are very nice. Easy drive from Hou, very nice boat ramp, lots of parking and camping. A really good weekday trip….never been there on the weekend so hard to comment, but I suspect it gets a little more traffic…..We WILL do it again. See pictures below:

Event: East Matagorda Bay – 3 Mile Lake area
TRIP CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER
Trip Description: Kayak fishing for redfish, speckled trout, and sheephead. If you do not have a kayak, wading in the lakes can be very productive at times. 4X4’s are usually a must for beach driving and crossing into the cut. Once you get off the beach past the dunes, driving is usually okay. A permit is required for beach driving and you can get one at Stanley’s for about 10 or 12 bucks.
If you don’t have a 4×4 truck, but would like to attend with either a kayak or wade fishing, contact John Eldred prior to the trip, and we may be able to work out a solution.
When: June 15, 2019
