Believe it or not there used to be Stripers swimming off the TX Gulf coast and in the bays. I hear they still catch an occasional striper in Galveston Bay or Matagorda.
I think the Gulf race of stripers is only found today in a few rivers in Florida, Any
stripers on the Texas coast have come down river from one of the stocked lakes.
I know they catch stripers at Venice , La , those are not gulf race fish , they
are escapees that came down the Mississippi river.
good luck
