I go crabbing at this place a lot (for bait mostly, sometimes if friends want to eat crab)... it's a real populated area on the weekends but I haven't seen an alligator at that particular spot around the Magnolia Beach/Indianola area though I have seen huge ones at some places around there...

MAGNOLIA BEACH - A 4-foot alligator attacked a dog around noon Friday at Magnolia Beach’s crabbing bridge.
The dog, an 85-pound golden retriever, was rescued by a man who beat the alligator with a fishing pole while a young girl managed to catch the dog and pull him to shore with a casting net. The dog, which is owned by Jeannie Bonds of Magnolia Beach, is in the care of a Port Lavaca veterinarian, said Magnolia Beach resident Jenny Schubert.
Game wardens were called to the scene but were unable to locate alligator.
People are warned to be extremely cautious while swimming.
