Henry, thanks for sharing. I've only fished Matagorda once in recent years.
I did Ok on trout, even though my boat was low on gas and I never made it
deeply into East M. bay.

I do have one concern about your idea to "create shade" with a floating--
whatever---... Might be a hazard to other boater's navigation. Can't see
it..don't expect it..never been there before...and all of a sudden --
whammm-- something is wrapped around his prop!! I doubt if you would be
winning friends and influencing people that way.

I've never fished for nor caught a triple-tail . Would you, someday, show a
very old retired rookie what that is all about???

regards,
