I have stayed at the Fishing House several times and have never been disappointed. The house is always clean and the bathrooms have plenty of towels. The TV has Roku on it. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a grill downstairs to use. There is also a washer and dryer. The light switches in the house are labeled, so it helps with turning on outside lights.This house is at the "Caney Y" so the fishing is awesome from the pier. I caught several fish such as Redfish and Speckle Trout. The pier has a well lit walkway with a fishing light at the end. There is even a crab net to use. No boat is needed, if you came to fish. You can get live bait down the road by the Intracoastal waterway.Sargent is a fishing community, so buy your groceries in Bay City before you go to Sargent, but there is a Dollar General and a Liquor Barn not far from the house. I have used Kate Allen, the host for years now and she always make sure you have a wonderful vacation. I definitely will be back.

Fishin' House

Wonderful property, good fishing from the dock. Lots of wind during our stay, but that's not the house's fault. One improvement I would like to see is an extension of the walkway to the pier so you don't have to wade through the water at high tide.

The Host was very nice and accommodating. New steps going up to the house and new walkway out to the fishing pier. The pier had great lighting and a plug for your filet knife. The fishing is always amazing from this pier. We caught specs mixed in with a lot of large sand trout at night under the lights. We caught flounder, black drum, redfish, croaker also. Fishing was excellent during the day too. We caught about a 4 lb flounder and about a dozen redfish off of pier the largest redfish was 35” and 25”. Just a very amazing fishing trip. The house was perfect for fishing. We have rented many houses on Caney and on the intercoastal and the “fish house” is by far the best fishing!

Weekend Getaway

We had a lot of fun and relaxation this weekend. While our daughter preferred to spend most of her time enjoying the WIFI inside, my husband spent most of his time on the pier! We caught some fish, but the downside was the bait shops didn't have any "live" bait! My husband caught some shad of the pier with his cast net and we had some platics that we used to catch a few keepers! We will definitely be back as Sargent is one of our favorite fishing places! The beach was nice too. The water was beautiful this weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Kate Allen

Host profile image
I'm the property Manager, having lived in Sargent 30 years and loving every minute.
Fishin' House is the first house I ever managed for an owner, and its been a favorite of guests from the very beginning.
The Jacobs family who own it, appreciate the quiet getaway feel of Sargent and benefit from the awesome night fishing on their pier. Mike Jacobs is a committed Matagorda County resident having served on the Jackson Electric Board of Directors for many years.

Why they chose this property

Fishin' house is loved by families who want to fish but may not have a boat since pier fishing is lucrative. Also any who seek easy access to East Matagorda Bay by boat will be delighted at this location. Living area in house and large deck outside is perfect for visiting and relaxing.

What makes this property unique

Location is exceptional due to convenience to Bay and Gulf, and excellent Caney Creek night fishing on your private pier.
