The Writing Team is running very late again tonight.
In The Texas Kayak Fisherman forum was an entry about a
beach area that the Exploring Team had tried to get to in the past. The entry showed a map of the area and the “road”
to use to get to it. So about 1400 the
Team took off to find the “road” and beach.
It looked like it could be an excellent wade fishing area.
The ferry crossing went well and the Team was soon on the
way down the island to the “road” entry. When we found the entry an idiot had
left his car parked blocking the “road” into the area. The Truck of course just went into the grass
and around the idiot’s vehicle. This “road” turned out to be a very unfinished
route through the marsh land. Please have a very high clearance vehicle like
the Truck to even attempt the passage.
At a less rough spot the Teams stopped to get a picture
of the “road’.
After a few minutes of bouncing around like a super ball
on a trampoline we arrived at the beach. The road ran off into the water just
before it got to the beach. So the Truck
backed up to a double track through the grass and away we went. Man this is a nice beach area with a lot of
area that should be interesting wade fishing.
This is on the bay side of Mustang Island near the south
end of Mustang Island State Park. There were all sorts of fishy activities
going on out in the water. Since the correct equipment for the area was not
with the Teams, we decided to take a walk and see what there is to see. A bottle of water was grabbed and away the
Foot Exploring Team went. We found
several great places to enter the water for shallow water fishing. This should be a great place to return to in
the future.
On the way back to the Truck was a nice surprise. Someone had dropped their tackle box like the
one the OFM carries onto the piers. A
truck tire had smashed the tackle box but the lures inside were fine.
Now the Fishing Team has some new lures to try out. Maybe they will change our luck for the
better. Finding a way into a few square miles of new fishing territory is bound
to help with the goal of trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
You never know what you will find on beaches.
ReplyDeleteI love finding things. So far, at lakes I've camped at, I've found two fishing poles. I accidentally left one in the site when I moved, so someone else found that one again. Then later I found another one. :) I really liked the one I left in my site, it was red with a really nice reel.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new lures!
Howdy Barney,
ReplyDeleteSome folks have all of the luck... Now if you just don't hang rocks and lose all of'em!!
Did you look to see if there was a body in the parked car???
Maybe you'll catch a 22" trout now!!!
