Bolivar Yacht Basin

Bolivar Yacht Basin. That may be a bit of a misnomer. I haven’t really seen too many yachts pass through here. But since this isn’t Monte Carlo, I suppose the Bolivar version of a yacht would be a rusty old shrimp boat or a twin outboard offshore boat.
This is a good place to launch from for fishing excursions to both the bay and gulf. From here you can access most of the main fishing holes relatively easily. Also, if you intend to fish the jetties or rigs, this is about the closest bait camp to those areas.
In terms of bait, they usually have a decent selection for a fair price. You can always find some dead bait if they are out of live bait. However, BYB does lose a star since I have been here a few times when there is little bait to be found, which can be inconvenient.
BYB also has a deck with chairs and a hammock to rehash (exaggerate) the day’s fishing conquests. It’s also a good place to wait out a thunder storm, which is what I am doing now.
Well, it looks like the sky may be clearing up now, so I should get back on the water.
