We had a fishing cabin on one of the barrier islands between Matagorda Bay and the Gulf for years. Just like most of our shallow bays around here if you don't pay attention and know what you are doing you can run aground pretty easily.
In fact, when I was selling the cabin last year, I was giving a guy and his wife a tour of the island by boat (21' Carolina Skiff) and ran aground so hard I almost threw them out of the damn boat. I got talking and didn't pay attention to where I was, and I had been boating and fishing those waters for years.
