Summer is sizzling and so is fishing! While Kay Garrett was fishing in Matagorda Bay, she caught a 20” trout!
Wow! This year’s summer heat is definitely one for the record books! I love summer and the great outdoors, lazy days filled with sunshine, trips to the beach, relaxing by the pool and adventures at the park. However, with these extra high temperatures, going anywhere without air conditioning is next to impossible. Although it is hot as heck, you can still find me sitting by my pool or out fishing somewhere. I hope you are out enjoying something fun this summer, despite the record heat!
July 4th will be heating up, and what could be more exciting than celebrating our nation’s birth right here in Fort Bend!

Absolutely yours,
Kay Garrett
