Texas Fishing

They say "Everything is bigger in Texas," and the fish stories are no exception. If you want a real fish story, then Texas is the place for you.

Texas boasts some of the best fishing in the country, whether it is salt or fresh water, shallow river or deep sea, you will find something to interest you. Matagorda County for example, holds four Texas state records and also is the location for some of the best angling areas in the country. Located where the Colorado river meets the Gulf of Mexico, it is also home to Drift, Pier, Fly and Deep sea fishing. South Padre Island is another place that will take your breath away, with 34 miles of beautiful white sands; this is the place to come if you are looking to get some world class sport fishing in. The breathtaking view is nice also. Located in Cameron County in south Texas, it is ranked as one of the ten best beaches in the country. If you are looking to catch a trophy bass, then there is no place better in all of America than Lake Fork, created to be a Trophy bass fishery. It has turned into the best bass fishing hole in the country.

You will find everything you need in Texas, from Coastguard licensed guides, to rod and reel stores. Whatever you do, make sure you get your license; poaching is a big no-no in Texas and it's the best way to spoil a wonderful vacation.
