Fishing near San Benito, Texas

San Benito is one of the Cameron County towns of Texas. The town itself holds nothing; the country round it does. Working outwards: Resaca de Los Cuates Reservoir 4.5 miles off to the south-east, City of Harlingen Reservoir 5.8 miles off, Lake Harlingen 5.8 miles off to the north-west, Abbott Reservoir 6.3 miles off, Cuates Lake 6.3 miles off to the east plus Roos Reservoir 6.4 miles off. Lake Harlingen is small enough to walk round and read in a single session. No lid forms at any point. Summer squeezes the useful hours at both ends. These are held water, not natural. Colour after rain moves fish tight to the edge. Closest is Resaca de Los Cuates Reservoir at around 13 acres of water. Wildlife records for the area list channel catfish, largemouth bass, Alligator gar, blue catfish and flathead catfish. If you only have a morning, take Resaca de Los Cuates Reservoir and leave the rest....
