Sargent Mitchell's Cut From The Air
This week we take to the air over Mitchell's Cut in Sargent. I have been working on my boat. So instead of writing about Sargent we got you up in the air for a birds eye view of Mitchell's Cut. This incredible footage is about 5 minutes long and really shows how wonderful Sargent is to be the gateway to the Gulf of Mexico and East Matagorda Bay. I have loaded two Air Tours and one labels the Sargent Beach locations so you can enjoy the Second even more. The second is the best Arial footage I have seen of Sargent.

Sargent Texas| Rainy weather for Ducks
Happy New Year
Ducks still quacking in Sargent Texas which has experience some well needed rains the last few weeks. Both the San Bernand Wildlife Preserve and Big Boggy have great conditions. Lets be honest the Ducks liked the rain more then the people of Sargent do. We have lots of freshwater passing Sargent and into East Matagorda Bay. Great for the Bay and ecosystem. The last cold Front a few weeks ago and this weekend pushed a lot of Geese into the San Bernard from the North. Cold weather this weekend is great for hunting.

Seafood Fest
Comes to Matagorda
Family event and lots of fun eating fish and enjoying music play bean bag and enjoying some really fresh seafood in Matagorda Texas.
Gina and Buddy Treybig are putting on a really fun Sea Food Fest event in Matagorda Texas today.
In the Fall the North East Winds can disorient bait fish and shrimp when they pass though near Sargent. Cool Fronts bring this kind of wind. This is a good thing. Bait can "stack up" in different parts of the bay. This attracts big fish. Look for birds check out south shore line and work the drift map This weekend look for drifts off South Shore. The Surf off Mitchell cut still producing fish and bait. So all around Sargent tides Winds and plenty of fish. Look for some flounder starting to run with this new cool front. Remember to count to 10 before setting your hook when you have flounder....
Sargent Texas is surrounded by some incredible wildlife refuges. This insures incredible bird watching, hunting and fishing recreation around Sargent into the future.
These preserves include the San Bernard Wildlife Refuge to our east. Big Boggy to our west which included Dresser Point or Bird Island. It is a major rookery for Pelicans and other seabirds. As you head north of Sargent along Cayney Creek to the east run into Dance Bayou Forested Track which is one of the last great intact Bottomland Southern Forest left in the United States. Yes we are extremely lucky because many bottomlands...
Watch Tides this week. I would fish the surf around the Sargent Cliffs on the Beach. Trout also are good on live shrimp over shell in East Matagorda bay all week. The Redfish run is starting to heat up around Mitchells cut too. Reds are really starting to run. Croaker are hot now too. If you never caught a two or three pound croaker this could be your time of the year to do it.
The Croaker run is going at full speed and they are huge. The kids really love catching them. I do too.

Remember There is no reason to keep huge Bull Redfish or Trout....

We had showers again last week and seems like the drought is just about over in different parts of the ecosystem. It seems like since Hurricane Ike it has been really dry in the Sargent area.
Now showers and rain flush out the creeks and rivers that empty into the Bay. The Croaker are running larger and there are incredible amounts of juvenile red fish that are being caught along the coast. This is good for the bay.
The mixing of the Saltwater with the fresh water coming across the grassy meadows and deep bottom land forest. Water is the key to life. Oysters will be larger this year after...
