Matagorda Bay Fishing: The Complete Guide for 2025

#Texas #History: Oct. 24, 1690, #MatagordaBay began to be explored and mapped by #Spain’s commander #FranciscoDeLlanos, cartographer #ManuelJoséDeCárdenasYMagaña, and the crew of the ship #NuestraSeñoraDeLaEncarnación who were anchored off of #CavalloPass, the natiral entrance to the bay. The expedition left #Veracruz, #Mexico twelve days earlier with the missions to evaluate the defunct #French #FortStLouis as a site for a #Spanish #Presidio, to seek a water route to the new #SanFranciscoDeLosT

The La Petite Belle is enroute to Matagorda Marina for the 2025 Texian Navy Day Ceremony in Matagorda on September 20th. The Harbor Master plans to moor the Belle at the end of D-dock so it would be a short walk for anyone at the ceremony to walk down to see it. The ceremony typically has around 100 very happy history-loving attendees who come for a “feel good day”. It is held under the private side Pavilion on the east side of the property with the use of the clubhouse with wonderful bathrooms.
