Tarpon, Caught at 

 Tarpon Beach, Texas 



Hunting and Fishing Along 

 the Texas Gulf Coast 



WITH hunting bag or creel there is no need of 

 passing a single idle hour along the Texas 

 Coast. The lordly tarpon offers more excitement 

 than the northern muscallonge; and there are bass, 

 sea trout, mackerel and dozens of other game fish. 

 In season ducks and geese flock to the waters of the 

 Gulf literally by "the million." 



For the sportsman who has never been on the 

 Gulf Coast of Texas, there's a treat in store. Besides 

 the sport, it is an ideal spot in many ways — it 

 abounds in health and pleasure resorts, especially 

 attractive during the winter months. The invig- 

 orating air, dry and warm, and the bright sunshiny 

 days combine in making a climate as nearly perfect 

 as can be. 



How to Reach Texas 



fl Ask your agent to sell you a ticket via St. Louis or Kansas 

 City and the Katy. It is quicker and better to Galveston and San 

 Antonio, from where you can reach any of the Gulf Coast resorts.
