From May 30 through June 1, the Indianola Fishing Marina in Port Lavaca, TX, will host the Annual In-Water Boat Show.
This unique show will give anglers and boaters the chance to test bay boats directly on the water.

The format of the show allows attendees to see how each boat handles real conditions on the bay.
