Texas Department of Wildlife Fisheries conducted Gill Net Survey. East Matagorda Sabine, Galviston and Matagorda Bay Lesley Hartman Matagorda Bay's Ecosystem leader reported some "Monster Trout" in East Matagorda Bay near Sargent. Chronicle Story!

Swing Bridge Sargent Texas is the last of it's kind in the State of Texas. It was slammed by Barge Yesterday. Sting Ray Marina is still open so go have a nice lunch and watch them repair bridge. Ferry service is available to the Island on a limited basis. Video!

Begging later this year Sargent and all of Matagorda Bay will have new Trout limits imposed by Texas Parks and Wildlife. Right now the Sargent Area is know for the largest trout on the coast. These trout are solo Trout and roam the bay alone. Schooling trout are smaller and help increase the population in general.

East Matagorda Bay fall and winter fishing. Came across this Article on Catching Trout over the Next 5 months and thought I would post it: Some Good Ideas: Click on. http://www.saltwatersportsman.com/species/fish-species/winter-texas-seatrout-fishing Saltwater sportsman.      

        Nothing better then Grill Croaker over mesquite fire.

I took this photo a while back at the Bass Pro Shop entrance. It shows people displaying their Tarpon Catch from the old days. There used to be hundreds of fish in the old days that would visit the Gulf Coast from Mexico. Slowly the fish are making a comeback and are starting to be caught offshore this time of the year. Please fight for habitat preservation and studies to help these wonderful fish make their comeback to the numbers that used to be available in the old days.                

Really nice Redfish using 10lb line and dead shrimp. Fishing Sargent very good this week really let loose.  Tides big.  

Plenty of Fresh Shrimp in Sargent texas
