PALACIOS (AP) — Several Texas
A&M graduate students were up to
their knees in muck as they slowly
pulled a sveighted net along a nar
row ditch. A balding man dressed in
a Mexican wedding shirt, slacks,
watched the progress intently from
the bank of the 33-acre pond, now
drained dry except for the water-
filled ditch being dredged by the stu
dents.
Silvery mullet leaped over the
proceeding net, but that was OK.
When the men reached the end of
the section they were dredging, the
net was pulled up to reveal the
prizes: five redfish averaging over
two pounds.
It was a day of hectic activity on
this normally quiet tract of land west
of Palacios as landowners, investors,
A&M students and others gathered
to harvest this much sought-after
fish.
The 2,000 acres of land owned by
a trio of Houston businessmen is
host to the only private redfish
grow-out operation in the country,
said Dr. Jack Castle Sr., one partner
in the venture.
Castle talked enthusiastically of
the project — a joint venture be
tween himself, partners Leslie Ap-
pelt and Don Culwell and the A&M
aqua-culture department — as he
supervised the harvesting operations
recently.
“Two years ago this started as a
plaything rather than a business,”
said Castle, who originally leased the
Palacios land as a duck-hunting site.
“From that point (the early redfish
experiments) we were surprised as
to what we were capable of doing . . .
the growth of the fish was phenome
nal.”
Marine Extension Agent Willie
Younger connected the investors
with the extension service’s aqua-cul
ture knowledge, as well as with the
Texas Department of Parks and
Wildlife, which supplied fry to stock
the ponds; A&M; and the U.S. Soil
Conservation Service, which aided in
pond designs.
“Texas A&M provides the man
power and records the data. We pay
salaries for the individual (managing
the farm),” as well as the cost of
building the ponds and feeding the
fish, Castle said.
Though he declined to pinpoint
the investment in the project, Castle
did allow that overall costs over the
two years have exceeded one-half
million dollars. Construction of a
new 100-acre pond has been de
layed, said Castle, because of ex
penses incurred to comply with
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
permit rules.
Despite the current “in-the-
red” status of the venture, Castle
said the whole point of it is even
tually to make money. And the
experimental nature of the pro
ject means that others can benefit
from the mistakes of the Palacios-
based enterprise, he said.
