Spring has arrived on the Texas Gulf Coast, and that means one thing for anglers and coastal travelers alike: it’s time to load up the RV and head to Matagorda Bay. April is one of the best months of the year to fish the Coastal Bend — redfish are running, speckled trout are feeding aggressively in the shallows, and flounder are making their seasonal push. If you’re looking for an affordable, no-hassle base camp within striking distance of some of the best inshore fishing in Texas, Magnolia Beach RV Park in Port Lavaca is exactly where you need to be.
Whether you’re rolling in for a long weekend, a full week, or an extended monthly stay through the spring season, Magnolia Beach RV Park offers full hookup sites with all utilities included — electricity, water, sewer, WiFi, and trash service — at rates that won’t drain your fishing budget before you even wet a line.
The waters around Port Lavaca and Matagorda Bay come alive in April. As water temperatures climb into the mid-60s and low 70s, baitfish move into the shallows and the predators follow. Here’s what anglers can expect during a spring trip to the Coastal Bend:
The area around Magnolia Beach itself offers excellent shore fishing access, and the nearby Indianola Fishing Park provides a free public fishing pier that’s a local favorite for families and serious anglers alike.
