Local Species Insights
Matagorda Bay's ecosystem supports healthy populations of redfish, black drum, speckled trout, and flounder throughout the year. Black drum are particularly abundant around oyster reefs and structure, often feeding in schools during cooler months. Redfish patrol the shallow flats and can be sight-fished when conditions allow.

Seasonal patterns shift with water temperature, but productive fishing opportunities exist in all months with proper technique and local knowledge.
