In an article titled “Spirit of the Bay”, writer/photographer E. Dan Klepper, catches much of the spirit of our county in both words and pictures. Local fishing guide, Capt. Bob Hill, transported Mr. Klepper to Matagorda Island, the special emphasis of the article. Other attractions featured are Halfmoon Reef Lighthouse, Calhoun County Museum, and Art Center Seadrift.

Referring to our area’s designation as “the Texas angler’s best-kept secret,” he goes on to say, “But the region offers a whole lot more to do than just drop a line in the channels and shallows. You’ll find the amenities and activities throughout the county’s golden triangle – Port Lavaca, Seadrift, and Port O’Connor – to be comfortable, tasty, and inspired.”

A from-the-water shot of Clark’s Bait House in Port O’Connor is just one of several beautiful photographs depicting our area. The writer gave his recommendations to Captain Bob’s Port O’Connor Charters, Reel Time Lodging and Guide Service, Bubba’s Cajun-Style Seafood, and Josie’s Mexican Restaurant and Cantina.
