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 have been launching from Matagorda Harbor and then going through the locks
and it is one heckuva long haul to the fishing area. I was thinking about
launching out of Palacios. I am going to go scope out the facilities in the
area there soon. Might be easier.

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 have thought about that and that is a good point. I was thinking of some
kind of marker. I mean it isn't really any different than crab-traps and the
like with their little market floats, or is it?? I appreciate any input on
this.

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

I am no expert. I just got turned on to this kind of fishing myself.
I bet you ain't that old either! LOL
You ain't never too old to go fishing!
My arm is easily twisted though....
