Beer Boat


Adventure Location: Rockport, Texas

Just because your body feels horrible from the massive mean migraine attack at noon yesterday does not mean you have to stay in for the day.  There is usually a small adventure available if you get off your do nuttin and go meander.

It might be as small as another (of many) fuzzy parking lot post. This is the last one for a while, the OFM promises.  The whole line of posts at Lighthouse Lakes Park is fuzzy.  Many are only moderate like this one.  A few look like they have had their feathers ruffled really badly.

The Sicko Team headed for the same bridge where the Lizard Fish was caught a couple of days ago.  The outside temp was 92 and the sun very strong.  The OFM’s head did not like the strong sun so we hid under the bridge. It kinda feels natural living under a bridge for us homeless full time RV types.

Anyway we found the breeze very soothing, the rippling sound from the water very pleasant, and the fish totally missing. It did feel wonderful to be in a very low intensity location.  Even all the vehicles passing ten feet over our head was not disturbing at all.

The tranquility lasted over an hour before some folks came over to the bridge to get out of the sun also.  It was four very friendly and pleasant fellows who had been fishing down at the jetty at Port Aransas.  The sun got to them so they migrated to this shade.

We visited for a couple of minutes while swapping fishing information. Then they set out to catch some small bait fish with cast nets.  In the process they also caught a few crabs for redfish bait.

Neither of the netters really knew how to handle a net but they were enjoying the effort and having enough success to take care of their needs.

After a bit the OFM Team headed back to the Truck.  One thing about any shore front is that you never know what in the world you will see next.

WHERE IS THAT BEER BOAT????

As the Truck cooled off a little the Team watched to see what the fellow was doing. We never figured it out. It was to take the OFM home.

Let’s see hmmmm.  We met four nice folks to visit.  We saw some more unique fuzzy posts. Over an hour was spent in supreme wonderful relaxation. We even got to see an unusual human behaving in an amusing way.  Looks like to us like we did a good job of trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.

    1. Yep you are right, he finally did get a good spread. That is why I put that picture in there. Most of the throws looked like a ball of yarn after a cat had been playing with it. They were trying to catch finger mullet and perch for live bait.

  3. My buddy who lived on Carolina Beach was an expert with a 25 foot through net. One toss caught enough for a couple of guys to fish for a couple of days.

    1. After my shoulder rework from a bad bike wreck, I can't throw any net anymore.

  4. Having once been a migraine sufferer I think you did pretty good at having too much fun.
