(Photo courtesy of Visit Port Arthur) This weekend Texas Parks and Wildlife will host its annual Free Fishing Day, giving aspiring anglers without a fishing license a chance to cast their lines. On Saturday, fishing can be done anywhere in the state without a license. And Port Arthur offers one of the top spots to try it out. 'In terms of leisure travel, the waterways are our No. 1 draw for tourism,' said Callie Summerlin, director of sales and marketing for the Port Arthur Convention and Visitors Bureau.
