Summary
The best spots are near the rock jetties and adjacent grassy flats—ideal for redfish, speckled trout, and flounder. No boat ramp is onsite, but nearby public launches like Bayou Texar allow kayak or small boat access. Fish are most active in spring and fall; use live shrimp, soft plastics, or topwater lures during early mornings or incoming tides. The park features walking trails down to the shoreline, but no pier. Wading is popular, especially near the coves and estuary inlets. Check local tide charts and rules before fishing.

Angling Safety Guidelines
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
