Caught some nice sheepshead and whiting on the pier today.
They also had a cool party on the pier.
Everyone had a great time.

Wow, what a good time. Fishbones Pier and Grill hosted the annual
VOGA(Valley owned Grocers Association). Can't decide which
was more fun, the fishing or the celebration
afterwards. Lots of nice trout and redfish brought to the dock.
Plenty of over sized reds. Fishing on the pier
is still producing nice numbers of whiting ,sand trout
and pompano.

 Fish Bones Pier and Grill is pleased to invite you to our restaurant located on our own Fishing Pier.

That’s right. We’re on the Pier!

Jaime Fuentes of Mecedes, Tx with 32lb Black Drum
Catch and release.....

Speckled trout, whiting and some sheepshead, occasional blackdrum during the night under lights and for the sport of it during the day the ladyfish a.k.a skipjacks are out there pulling your line out.

Fish are very active at night under the lights..... suprisingly pier patron caught a nice 24 in. Speck trout during the noon hours.

We are very proud of our pier facility. You will find the fishing great with plenty catches of Speckled Trout, Flounder, Redfish and more. (You never know what you might catch!)

Besides being a great fishing facility it is a great place for a family stroll after dining in our restaurant. Friday nights are especially good for a fantastic view of the fireworks over the bay.

We offer a complete bait and tackle shop along with snacks, ice, dolphin watching cruises, bay fishing charters.... and... Coming in the Spring of 2008 a full size Pirate Ship that will cruise you around the Laguna Madre with fill Pirate crew!

SOUTH PADRE Trout and redfish are good on red/white Hogies, Gamblers and Norton Bull Minnows at Twin Bars and Long Bars. Trout are fair to good at the Gas-Well Flats on red/white and pumpkinseed/chartreuse Bass Assassins, Sand Eels and Hogie's Major Minnows.
PORT ISABEL Trout are very good at Holly Beach on plum Bass Assassins and live shrimp. Trout, redfish and black drum are good at Un-Necessary Island on live shrimp under a popping cork.

Bait recommended this week is live bait is the way to go.

Gas-well Flats area is the hot spot for this week. Fishing for the week is rated a 4. Captain Russell's comment for this week is look for your water color changes and get an early start. For best results - get a jump on all the boats and get out early. Having your line in the water early may make the difference between a good fishing trip and a great one. Good luck and good fishing.

Bait availability: Plenty of live shrimp and some fresh dead in places. Good medium size shrimp should be available throughout the weekend. Frozen mullet, squid, shads, ribbon fish, ballyhoo and a few live ballyhoo are all available.

Port Isabel, Historic Port Isabel, the "Point" of the Laguna Madre Bay, land of history, legend and lore was originally inhabited by the Coahilitecan Indians prior to European settlements.

This quaint fishing village's strategic location, once having a 25-foot bluff in the area where the Point Isabel Lighthouse now stands, was a natural lookout for viewing both the Laguna Madre Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. This natural formation was instrumental in the settlement and development of this area and was an important force during the U.S./Mexican War, Civil War, and maritime commerce.

At the beginning, Port Isabel was a cattle ranch owned by Don Raphael Garcia, the first recorded owner of the area, having claimed it in 1821. Then known as El Froton de Santa Isabel, early settlers described the native dwellings as straw huts covered with "raw cattle hides and then recovered with "sacahuiste" grass."

During the early 1800's, the Texas coast gained importance to Mexico, the United States, and smugglers from both countries. Local ranchers formed business alliances with pirates who sailed their contraband between the Rio Grande and Corpus Christi. El Fronton de Santa Isabel (Point Isabel) became the base for the growing Port of Matamoros and the privateer fleet.

In 1846, when General Zachary Taylor established Fort Polk, a military encampment named in honor of President Polk during the U.S./Mexican War, many of the villagers, following orders from the Mexican Government, set fire to their houses. Only a few of the structures, most likely Jacales, huts made from mesquite and mud, were saved. The fort included one of the largest military hospitals in the United States. Famous individuals including Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, and other notable men were stationed at this fort. Around the fort, camp followers occupied some of the remaining homes and built some crude sheds and houses. A year later in 1847, with the growth of the fort and its surroundings, Simon Mussina attempted to establish the city of Point Isabel along the Laguna Madre west of the fort. In 1850, the United States Army evacuated the fort, and by 1851, Mussina's attempts failed.

However, in 1850, the U.S. government appropriated $15,000 for construction of a beacon and lighthouse at Brazos Santiago. Through much controversy, Point Isabel was selected for the lighthouse location rather than Brazos Santiago. By 1851, the customhouse was situated in the former commanding officer's quarters of Fort Polk, and the site selected for the lighthouse was the interior of the main earthen bastion of the Fort. John E. Garey of Brownsville was contracted for the building of the lighthouse. The Point Isabel lighthouse was completed and lighted on April 20, 1853 along with the beacon at Brazos Santiago on Padre Island, a square wooden tower painted black. In 1855, Charles Stewart of Galveston was contracted to build a one-story, four-room-and-a-wall wooden house at a price of $1,400. The workmen and materials were sent from Galveston. The Lighthouse served as a valuable function as a lookout tower during the Mexican insurrections and the Civil War. Confederate soldiers attempted to blow up the lighthouse as Union boats approached Point Isabel on May 28, 1863, but did not succeed, only slightly damaging it. In 1864, Union soldiers destroyed the Catholic Church and took the bell to Brazos Island.

In 1865, Point Isabel lost its importance as a port due to a military bridge having been built from Boca Chica to Bagdad, Mexico, a prosperous shipping town that had a population of 15,000. In 1866 and 1867, bad weather destroyed Bagdad and once again Point Isabel prospered as a port. In the late 1860's the lighthouse was in good repair, part of the lighthouse keeper's house served as an office for the customs collector and some of the remaining houses from the early Point Isabel settlement were said to be occupied by families of the soldiers of the Civil War.

In the 1870's, with the new Rio Grande Railroad track, businesses were established south of the lighthouse and in 1875, a new town plat was developed and the streets were named by the daughters of Don Rafael Garcia east of the original town site. In the 1880's, the lighthouse lantern was modernized and harbor improvements to deepen the channel across the bar began. After the lighthouse was decommissioned, its structure was used as a tourist attraction. During this time, Point Isabel's population was 500 to 700. In the 1890's, the lighthouse was repaired and again relighted. Charles Champion built a brick Victorian style building to be used as a dry goods store. In the early 1900's, a new railroad linking Corpus Christi to Brownsville along with the sinking of the lighter Luzon at the railroad wharf led to a decline in shipping traffic, and in 1905 the lighthouse was permanently closed.

By 1915, the population of Point Isabel declined to 300. At this time, the Wireless Station, one of the largest radio stations used for the military, was set up east of the lighthouse on 22 acres. In the early 1920's, a new vision for Point Isabel was realized. The Port Isabel Company purchased the lighthouse from J.S. Ford of Brownsville, made necessary repairs, and opened it as a tourist attraction. In 1928, the City was incorporated and the slogan "Building a City where a City belongs" set the premises of changing this small fishing village into a tourist mecca. Streets were paved, canals were constructed, electric lights installed and industry and mercantile businesses established.

Today, Port Isabel has blossomed once again with many unique shops, restaurants, historic hotels, and museums that make up this historic and colorful area. Spend a day discovering Port Isabel, and take advantage of the many places that are within walking distance of each other. We hope you enjoy your visit to Port Isabel.

If your vacation plans bring you to the Laguna Madre area during the winter months, check with the Port Isabel Chamber of Commerce at (956) 943-2262 about the World Championship Shrimp Cook-Off in November and the Longest Causeway Run held in January. The Shrimp Cook-Off features dozens of amateur and professional chef teams competing for the title of "World Champion". Thousands of spectators' line up to taste competing recipes of delicious Texas gulf shrimp. There is also a folk arts festival with many area artists and artisans displaying a wide variety of original art and custom crafts. The Longest Causeway Run is a 6.2 miles race that starts at the Port Isabel Community Center, takes participants across the Queen Isabella Causeway and ends on South Padre Island. There is also a 3 mile wellness walk which provides a casual stroll across the Causeway.

The Lower Laguna Madre

The Lower Laguna Madre is an area of the bay located between The cut at South Padre Island on the tip of Texas next to the Mexican border and Port Mansfield Texas.

Approximately 30 miles of protected bay that averages only 3 to 4 feet in depth. Miles and miles of grass beds and crystal clear waters make this the most productive Redfish and Trout location on the Texas coast.

Fishermen have been making this their destination since the early 30's and it is no wonder why. The majority of South Padre Island from it's cut to Port Mansfield is owned by individuals as well as the State. The Mainland from Port Isabel to Port Mansfield is mostly uninhabited and also includes The Laguna Atascotia National Wildlife Refuge. This means that for years to come there will be virtually no development of the area to change its current appeal as a true jewel of the Texas Coast.

The low average water depth makes this area one of the best places for shallow water drift fishing as well as wade fishing with Light spinning tackle or Fly Fishing. The Bays location also means that the weather on average is clear and warm throughout most of the year. This part of South Texas has 80 degree weather through November and the fishing is great year round.

Salt water Fly Fishing as well as Light tackle fishing has grown in popularity over the past decade. The notoriety of the Lower Laguna Madre at the tip of the Texas coast has contributed to this in many ways.

With the development of specialized shallow water boats in the late 50's by some local fishermen, the once isolated and obscure areas of the flats are now accessible by those that know where to go and when. Many of the areas that are fished are only 6 to 8 inches in depth. Tidal fluctuation and wind condition make these areas available during certain times of the day.

The modern shallow boats of today allow guides who know the area to take groups of up to 4 to these very special places.

The Lower Laguna Madre is a special place that any true fisherman should make a top priority for the fishing trip of a lifetime. Come and experience with guides who truly love to fish this unique style of fishing that one will not soon forget.

The Laguna Madre

The Laguna Madre is a large body of shallow water separating Padre Island from the South Texas mainland. It covers 609 square miles of estuarine and coastal marine systems. The boundary of Padre Island National Seashore encompasses approximately 20,000 acres of the Laguna Madre. The Laguna Madre is located in parts of Cameron, Willacy, Kenedy, Kleberg, and Nueces counties.
Area of Influence:
Ecological and Cultural Characteristics
Habitat Type:
Since no major rivers flow into the Laguna Madre, its salt content is quite high, about 35 parts per 1000 parts of water. This increases to 45 parts per 1000 parts of water in the Lower Laguna Madre and during periods of hot, dry weather.
The average water depth is about 2.5 feet, with some areas reaching a depth of 5 feet. Variable depths and salinity support different types of seagrasses, hyper-saline marshes, algal flats, and lomas.

Breeding/Feeding/Nursery Area:
The Laguna Madre is an important breeding ground for many aquatic birds, as well as an important wintering and stopover area for numerous species. The extremely shallow areas provide excellent feeding grounds for winter duck populations which number in the thousands. Seagrasses are the main winter food source for Redhead ducks. The Laguna Madre is the summer nursery area for young brown shrimp. Skipjacks, pinfish, broad killifish and striped mullet forage in the shoalgrass areas. Mollusks and crustaceans, generally associated with the areas of underwater vegetation, are important as waterfowl food.
Migratory Species:
The Laguna Madre serves as a wintering area for 80% of the North American population of Redheads, Aythya americana. The fall season brings high numbers of ducks and geese on the lagoon. The lagoon is the end of the Central Flyway and many ducks find shelter in the southern refuges of Santa Ana and Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuges. Redheads, Canada Geese, Snow Geese, Canvasbacks, Pintails, Mallards, Blue-winged Teal and many others can be observed inside the National Seashore in the freshwater ponds.
Geomorphic Features:
Mudflats, barrier islands, dunes, spoil islands, saline marsh, and coastal sand plains are the main geomorphic features of Laguna Madre.
Uniqueness of Natural Community:
Submerged land, marshes, spoil islands, variable salinity and depths, including the variety of seagrasses, make the Laguna Madre, a 110-mile long saltwater lagoon, a unique natural community. Shoal grass is the key species of the bay habitat, for it is the principal winter food for ducks, particularly redheads and is the spawning, foraging and nursery area for fish and shrimp.
Current and Potential Use of the Site
Recreational Use:
Sport fishing is very rewarding in the Laguna Madre where redfish, black drum and flounder are caught. Texas General Land Office (GLO) operate fishing cabins as well as camping sites on the spoil islands.
Commercial Use:
Petroleum is still a large commercial activity in Laguna Madre area as well as commercial fishing. Brown shrimp make up a large part of the commercial shrimp catch taken from the Gulf of Mexico and brought into ports contiguous to the Laguna Madre.
Management Status
Land Ownership:
The Laguna Madre is a large area and parts of it are owned by the public sector while other parts are owned by the private sector. The Texas General Land Office (GLO), Texas Parks and Wildlife, and the federal government own a large section of the area, while private entities like the Audubon Society, King Ranch, and others own other sections of the area.
Existing Designations:
The Laguna Madre itself has no specific designations while different parcels of barrier islands and mainland areas are designated as National Wildlife Refuges, Coastal Preserves, and Audubon sanctuaries.
