Ye olde wise ones of the OT. Anyone familar with the area? Is the fishing any good? I'm looking to buy a small chunk of land in the area in hopes of making me a private fish camp. Just wondering if there are any things I should be weary of.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone could offer.

Thanks guys. Are chupacobras any good to eat? And yes, I saw the Day Tripper show too (I love that show!!!!). I use to live in Victoria so I am some what familar with the area. But I must admit I only drove through Palacios on my way to Houston. I have been looking in the Rock Port area but Palacios looks attractive too. Not only is there a pretty extensive bay system around there, Lake Texana and Coleto Creek are pretty close too. So I can hopfully enjoy some nice inshore salt water fishing and have access to some good fresh water fishing too. It also looks like a quite little town, no railroads that go through the area nor any major airports.

We stayed at “the crab trap”... private home and pier. They had a huge green bulbed spot light to shine in the water. One of the best fishing trips I’ve done.. pm me if needed

Not a bad place. I spent some time there in the early 90’s with a girl I met in college. Seemed like a low key laid back atmosphere.

A friend of mine lives there. Nice and quiet place. the Vietnamese shrimpers don’t like it when white folks try to start a shrimping operation there, and have allegedly, in my opinion, torched a few shrimp boats owned by outsiders. The Tres Palacios Oaks is a great bar. I’ve never been able to get cut off there.
Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

Thanks again guys!!! This does help!! The more I did some reasearch on the place over the weekend the more I am attracted to it. Mainly just reading the web and watching videos. But I wanted to see if any real people had any real experiences they may want to add. I have been shopping Rock Port for years now (I'm in no hurry on this purchase) and I love that area but it is getting more crowded (plus expensive!). But the quiet semi remotness of Palacios is what I like. I want to buy this place as a weekend camp for me and anyone that wants to join me (just camping for now, it has access to electric, water and sewage but I will need to get them installed...but again no hurry). It'll be a primitive camp for awhile with the hopes of building it up as a private campsite with full hookups and a utility shed (just for me and freinds) with the long term goal of maybe making it a retirement place for me.

More people would live there if it was easier to pronounce.
