Mac McGaffey Highland Bayou Park — Attraction in La Marque

Pros: Such a nice spot for fishing. I almost don't want to give this place 5 stars because I want to keep this spot for myself. Didn't get hung up once. Caught some nice ones. Place is really clean and the pier is easy to get to and easily accessible for people with a disability.

Cons: The only problem was that I was landing a school of specks and then a family started cast netting right next too me and spooking the fish. I wish people would learn about respecting personal space and to be considerate of others. I mean after casting in the same spot for 20+ minutes and catching nothing, you'd think to get the hint after the 2nd or 3rd cast.

There must have been 30 barbecue grills cooking and that food was not for the general public, you could smell it but you couldn't have it, you can watch them walk by with their plates but you don't get none, not even for sale only for special people. I'm not a friend of barbecue cook-offs that only feed their family...

We had food fishing and such a lovely time even though it rained off and on all day. Bathrooms should of been cleaner though. I cleaned once or twice to use it even though many people don't care at least my group I was with do. Excellent day and had a lot of fun . the ones fishing caught nothing so the fish are lucky and can live in their environment for another day. First time in this area in many years I use to go to another part of the park and the nature out there is so...
