San Leon is all about fishing
https://fishingbooker.com/destinations/location/us/TX/san-leon
San Leon is all about fishing! The bread and butter of this small Texan town is shrimp and oyster fishing, and its great position on the shores of Galveston Bay gives anglers access to amazing inshore fishing year-round. San Leon is the right choice if you want to fish away from the city’s hustle and bustle
