HOUSTON, TX (April 23, 2008) – Bounded by the Intracoastal Waterway, Caracol, a premier master-planned community located along the Texas coast in Port O’Connor, is ideally positioned to cater to the avid fisherman. The community’s prime location on the Intracoastal Waterway allows fisherman access to rich, deep-sea waters within minutes, a unique advantage when fishing along the Texas coast.
Caracol’s canal-front home sites allow residents easy access to the Gulf of Mexico and multiple bays and can accommodate large offshore boats. Caracol residents also have the convenience of tying off their boats right outside their homes.
“We designed Caracol with the deep-sea fisherman in mind,” said Rob Fondren of Trend Development, Inc. “Our close proximity to deep waters make Caracol a highly-desirable location for the serious fisherman.”
Caracol is located in a historic area known for its inshore and offshore fishing. The waters just off the shores of Port O’Connor are teeming with red snapper, king, ling, tarpon and jack fish. And further offshore, the deep water abounds with sailfish, tuna, dolphin, wahoo, and the much sought-after blue marlin.
As a result of its reputation for world-class fishing, Port O’Connor is home to the Poco Bueno fishing tournament, the number one offshore fishing tournament in Texas. Each July Port O’Connor is flooded with hundreds of fisherman who participate in the competition.
