There are plenty of great places to fish on the Texas coast, but few are in such a great spot. Access to multiple bays and barrier islands is just a short boat ride away.

Trophy Redfish and Speckled Trout are caught here year round, and in the summer there's the opportunity to fish for Tarpon. The Texas state record Tarpon was caught here, measuring at just over 80 inches and just under 250 pounds.
