Sargent BBQ cookoff this weekend. Many contestants compete at the Fire Station.

Summer winds have calmed. Good Tides this weekend. Live Bait very effective now. These are underwater views of how they are caught. You can get live bait anywhere around Sargent or East Matagorda Bay. Look for shallow water and away you go. Click link to see some cool underwater video

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...
