This is a very small (3 1/2 acres) site maintained by the University of Texas Marine Science Institute across the street (park in the lot by the Institute on the other side of the street’. This is built in marsh area and has several short boardwalks accompanied with nice natural landscaping. There are several informative signs that are very helpful explaining oyster beds and the ecological significance of marshes. It is an outstanding location for bird watching. Just a very short walk to the jetty by the ship channel.

Fishing pier is great, make sure you have a drop net and some sturdy rods and tackle. I’ve fished there every time we go and never fail to catch something, from sharks to sand trout. Caught a 32” bull red last time.

The trip was great for me and my grandson Dad and step brother came from Colorado to have the best day. Dad is 80yr old the the deck crew was the best dad fell down because he has no sea legs a crew member jump into action to help him up before I could even get to him I believe his name was Daniel Like I said what a crew fishing lines got mixed up and the team got them undone in rapid time if you want a deep sea fishing trip this is the boat for your family to have memorys to last a lifetime now my 7 year old grandson can say I remember I went deep sea fishing with grandpa and great grandpa and caught a shark thank you for our family day of 2021
