Summer is officially here on the Texas Gulf Coast, and if you’re chasing redfish, speckled trout, or flounder along the Coastal Bend, there’s no better home base than Magnolia Beach RV Park in Port Lavaca, TX. With Memorial Day weekend kicking off the season and a packed summer calendar of fishing tournaments and coastal events, now is the time to lock in your site before the best spots fill up.
Whether you’re rolling in for a long weekend, a week-long fishing trip, or an extended summer stay, Magnolia Beach RV Park offers full hookup sites, all utilities included, and a quiet coastal atmosphere just a short bike ride from the beach — all at a price that won’t drain your fishing budget.
Location is everything when you’re fishing the Texas coast. Magnolia Beach RV Park sits at 352 Margie Tewmey Rd, Port Lavaca, TX 77979 — putting you within easy reach of some of the most productive inshore fishing waters in the Coastal Bend:
When the fish are biting at first light, you want to be close. Staying at Magnolia Beach RV Park means you’re minutes from the water — not an hour away at some inland campground.
May through August is prime time for inshore fishing along the Calhoun County coastline. Here’s what anglers are targeting right now:
Redfish are moving into the shallow flats and grass beds of Matagorda Bay as water temperatures climb. Look for tailing reds in water under two feet — a sight-fishing experience that’s hard to beat. Live shrimp, mullet, and gold spoons are all producing. The area around Indianola and the Matagorda Bay shoreline is particularly productive in early morning and late evening.
Speckled trout are active along the deeper grass edges and channel drops. Early morning topwater action is excellent right now, with fish pushing bait to the surface before the heat of the day sets in. Live shrimp under a popping cork remains the go-to rig for consistent numbers.
Flounder are staging near structure — jetties, pier pilings, and shell pads — throughout the summer. The Indianola Fishing Park pier and the shoreline near Magnolia Beach both produce solid flounder catches. Gulp! baits and live finger mullet are top producers.
Black drum are a year-round staple in Matagorda Bay, and summer is no exception. The surf at Magnolia Beach is a reliable spot for drum, especially on incoming tides. Crab and cut shrimp are the preferred baits.
The summer fishing calendar around Port Lavaca and Calhoun County is packed with tournaments and events that draw anglers from across Texas. Here are some highlights to plan around:
