Spring on the Texas Gulf Coast is something special. The redfish are running, the trout are biting, and Matagorda Bay is alive with activity from April through Memorial Day weekend. If you’re planning a spring fishing trip to the Port Lavaca area — or you’re a contractor or seasonal worker looking for a quiet, affordable place to park your rig close to the water — Magnolia Beach RV Park is your ideal base camp.
Located just a short bike ride from Magnolia Beach and minutes from some of the best inshore fishing on the Texas coast, our small, quiet park offers full hookups with all utilities included, concrete pads, and a no-frills coastal atmosphere that serious anglers and outdoor travelers love. Here’s everything you need to know to plan your stay.
Late April through early June is widely considered peak season for inshore saltwater fishing along the Texas Coastal Bend. Here’s what’s biting right now near Port Lavaca:
The Professional Redfish League is scheduled for Matagorda Bay on May 29–30, 2026 — a sign of just how productive this fishery is during late spring. If you want to fish the same waters as the pros, now is the time to book your stay.
One of the biggest advantages of staying at Magnolia Beach RV Park is your proximity to multiple world-class fishing locations — all within a short drive or bike ride.
The beach itself offers excellent surf fishing and wade fishing access directly from shore. No boat required. Cast for redfish and trout along the shoreline, especially during early morning and evening tides. The park is close enough that you can walk or bike your gear right to the water’s edge.
The Indianola Fishing Park features a free public fishing pier with direct access to Matagorda Bay. It’s one of the most popular shore fishing spots in Calhoun County and a favorite for families. No boat, no launch fee — just show up and fish. The pier is well-lit for night fishing, which is prime time for speckled trout.
Located at the mouth of Powderhorn Bayou, Indianola Fishing Marina offers a full-service experience: boat launch, live bait, kayak rentals, a covered fishing deck, restaurant, and bar. Whether you’re launching your own boat or renting a kayak to explore the flats, this is your one-stop shop for a day on the water.
Powderhorn Lake is a shallow, productive bay system just west of Port Lavaca. It’s excellent for wade fishing and kayak fishing, with consistent redfish and trout action throughout the spring. Access points are easy to find and the crowds are lighter than the main bay.
For boaters, the open flats of Matagorda Bay offer some of the best sight-casting opportunities on the Texas coast. Spring tides push redfish and trout onto the shallow grass flats, making for exciting visual fishing. Several boat ramps are accessible within a short drive of the park.
