SOLO Beach CAMPING and FISHING! (East Matagorda)

Took the Jeep and solo skiff 20 miles down the beach to find a secluded area on East Matagorda Bay to fish and camp on an over night adventure!

I love that you're apologizing to the turtle as he's swimming away...I'd do the same exact thing. Great channel. I have a solo skiff on order and can't wait to get on the water with it. I've been fishing from my kayak for about 16 years now, finally time for an upgrade.

[@bradmetcalf5333]

So awesome to see a fellow outdoorsman legitimately concerned for the wildlife. Love your videos man thanks for the uploads.

I enjoyed watching! I love Matagorda! So many options! And yes, it is very frustrating when you see them and they won't eat! Keep up the good work!

Looks pretty amazing out there come here in Northern Colorado I barely got into fishing and I'm barely learning just caught my first catfish down in Utah small one but it was pretty fun camping out love your awesome videos Man didn't know fishing would be this fun

[@ethanmoreno672]

Very nice video man good on releasing the turtle properly

[@freddyg1692]

Awesome footage man! Love it!

[@snakesurfcustomfishingrods5821]

Like your videos but you caught Matagorda in a pretty much once in a lifetime condition on the beach. It is usually chocolate brown water and if you drive down to Mitchel's cut and the wind picks up out of the east to the south then the tide washes up to the dunes and can catch you there. You will have to make the whole trip back almost up in the dunes a lot of the way. My wife and I used to make the drive and camp out at Mitchel's cut back in the 80s and 90s. At certain times of the year there is a phosphorescence in the water and at night you can go out there and play in the glowing surf. Cool vids, keep them coming.

[@DCD-il3nm]

Got to get some cold weather gear just for this time of year. Love the videos.

I caught a turtle in Corpus once, felt horrible too. Luckily it was just line wrapped,but trying to rescue it with jetty rocks and surf beating up on me was harrowing.

[@nFlames2]

10 sec. after you cast a good red fish that's Matagorda keep it a secret. When fishing Mitchell's cut fish on the beach side of the cut, on an out going tide. The current curves to the south & will bring the bait with it caught lots of Bull Red & slots at that point. Best time to drive out there is in a low tide Then plan to stay the night. Its rough trying to drive out of there at sunset or in the dark too many stumps & they are hard to see. The wave action/sea mist at night is like a dense fog at night. I us cut mullet & just let it soak come back every 30 min to ck the bait.

I think that turtle was either a loggerhead or a Kemp's Ridley. Kind of hard to tell from a distance.

If you were solo, who was flying the drone while you were driving? Great video tho, love surf fishing vids.

[@KagenFishing]

bcask61 it has a follow me mode where it keeps camera pointed at truck. Really great for when solo filming like I always do.

First light and instead of fishing, you were cooking breakfast. Just turn your fishing credentials in at the door as you exit the beach.

it depends where you are camping but for the most part you do not need any permit or anything to camp on the beach.

[@KagenFishing]

carlos Brites it is called a Solo Skiff

[@jstrom3007]

Kagen Fishing......just asking, when you do those solo overnight fishing at the beach do carry or conceal a firearm? It's nice solo fishing during the day but overnight fishing in a decent area kinda spooky.

[@KagenFishing]

Jst ROM yes I have my CHL license. It is a little spooky but sleeping in the jeep makes me feel more safe than just out in a tent.

[@jstrom3007]

@@KagenFishing It's good that you have one, I don't solo overnight fishing these days, safer back in the 1980s. Overnight fishing I'd rather do it with family and friends. Be careful out there, tight lines.
