  • Took the Jeep and solo skiff 20 miles down the beach to find a secluded area on East Matagorda Bay to fish and camp on an over night adventure!

    I love that you're apologizing to the turtle as he's swimming away...I'd do the same exact thing. Great channel. I have a solo skiff on order and can't wait to get on the water with it. I've been fishing from my kayak for about 16 years now, finally time for an upgrade.

  • @snakesurfcustomfishingrods5821

    Like your videos but you caught Matagorda in a pretty much once in a lifetime condition on the beach. It is usually chocolate brown water and if you drive down to Mitchel's cut and the wind picks up out of the east to the south then the tide washes up to the dunes and can catch you there. You will have to make the whole trip back almost up in the dunes a lot of the way. My wife and I used to make the drive and camp out at Mitchel's cut back in the 80s and 90s. At certain times of the year there is a phosphorescence in the water and at night you can go out there and play in the glowing surf. Cool vids, keep them coming.

    10 sec. after you cast a good red fish that's Matagorda keep it a secret.
    When fishing Mitchell's cut fish on the beach side of the cut, on an out going tide. The current curves to the south & will bring the bait with it caught lots of Bull Red & slots at that point.
    Best time to drive out there is in a low tide Then plan to stay the night. Its rough trying to drive out of there at sunset or in the dark too many stumps & they are hard to see.
    The wave action/sea mist at night is like a dense fog at night.
    I us cut mullet & just let it soak come back every 30 min to ck the bait.
