About this water
Matagorda Bay near Palacios is a premier Texas coastal fishery offering outstanding wade and boat fishing for spotted seatrout, redfish, and flounder in the shallow grass flats and oyster reefs. The bay's extensive seagrass beds and oyster reefs concentrate baitfish and gamefish throughout the year. Fly fishing and light tackle with soft plastics and topwater lures are highly effective in the clear, shallow water.
