CANCELLED: Matagorda Bay – 3 Mile Lake area (June 15, 2019)

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
