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.

Colorado River used to drain out at Sargent Beach
About 1000 years ago the Colorado River which drains parts of the Hill country and Austin jumped out of its main channel at Glen Floral Texas. Then it headed to the Gulf though Caney Creek. In relatively recent geological time of the past 6,000 years Texas Rivers rivers would changed their course from time to time. The flow of the Colorado river would empty into the Gulf of Mexico at Sargent Beach.. Now it flows to it’s latest exit into the Gulf of Mexico near Matagorda Texas. This happened in the last 6,000 years In North East Texas...
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....
Wind Conditions Catching more fish East Matagorda Bay.
Wind Conditions can really affect the way we catch more fish around Sargent, Texas. Because of the shallow water conditions and the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico it is important to have some wind fishing strategies.
The wind still is blowing across the bay. Usually it sets down in early June but this year it keep blowing across East Matagorda Bay. The Sargent Ecosystem is ready for this and has received some much needed rain over the last few weeks.
