Bolivar: GOOD. 86 Degrees. Fishing is slow after Hurricane Nicholas. Few sightings of redfish, flounder, speckled trout, gar and sharks, however, the bite was slow after noon. Try using live finger mullet or fresh squid.
Trinity Bay: GOOD. 84 degrees. The flood of fresh water is what affects the fishing the most in the shallow waters of the bay complex, decreasing the salinity of the water. After so much rain and wind the water clarity is also affected and makes the visibility another issue. Everything should be calming down and fishing picking back up by the weekend.

Freeport: GOOD. 83 degrees. The water levels have risen, scattering the fish after the rains from Tropical Storm Nicholas. Drifting with a popping cork and shrimp will be your best bet for catches.
East Matagorda Bay: FAIR. 85 degrees. Fishing should really improve after the coming cold fronts blow through lowering the water temperatures. The surf is excellent for trout and redfish.

Port O’Connor: GOOD. 91 degrees. The waters have been unfishable as the winds and waves from Hurricane Nicholas turned the surf up making it murky. Fishing should improve by weeks end. Historically, after a hurricane bait fish is pushed up and species of fish not normally found in the area are brought in for a few weeks until they migrate back south.
Rockport
FAIR. 84 degrees. Fall fishing patterns have begun in the intracoastal highway and the fish are migrating from North to South with the beach. Lots of big trout 20-28 inches have been caught along the jetties and surf on croaker and mullet freelined.
