DATE IS TENTATIVE. We are planning for Saturday, February 6, 2027. The date will be confirmed (or moved) based on weather and fishing reports closer to the trip. Watch this post and club emails for updates.

Trip Description:  Our annual Convict Corralling outing: chasing Texas sheepshead (the “convicts”) in the skinny waters around Port O’Connor with a fly rod. We moved this trip to Port O’Connor in 2025 after the oyster reefs we used to fish in East Matagorda Bay disappeared, and the sheepshead no longer hold in those clear shallows. We will meet at Clark’s Bait Shop on Saturday morning, planning to travel (not launch) at 0800. Fish and meet back at the launch area at 4 pm. NOTE:  This is a boat and wade fishing only trip. You must be physically able to “climb” out of a boat and wade fish. More details to come as the date gets closer. Once we know who is coming, we will match boat owners with members who need a ride.
