Fishing Time Finally

 

ADVENTURE LOCATION:

ROCKPORT, TEXAS

NOVEMBER 25, 2024

Well we got a good start this morning on the fishing locations check out. We picked up SFD (Super Fisherman Don) and headed for breakfast. Breakfast was good but a bit spicy for the OFM.

From there we hit up the fishing locations here in town to check them out.

The first location at the end of Market St. was a bust and we soon moved on.

The next location was the pier near the end of the road inside the Rockport Beach Park. When we parked at the pier a fellow was just leaving with a nice eating size trout.

SFD went and talked with him for a minute to see how things were out on the pier fishing wise. Then we both moved on out onto the pier.

Along the way the OFM noticed that the beach erosion was getting worse near the pier. The wooden arch in the next picture used to be a stairway over the sand dunes to get to the beach. As you can see now the dunes are gone and the waves wash well on inland farther than they did in the near history of the area.

On along the pier SFD and the OFM worked the water looking for fish to catch. When we reached the end of the pier the fishing was not really great but two speckled trout were caught. One was too short to be legal. The other was legal and here is a picture of SFD holding the trout that went home with him.

Shortly later the heat was building so we went on home to do other fun things.

The OFM started on cleaning the Castle from the trip down here but there is plenty to do yet.

So we will be inside cleaning or napping in the heat of the day and outside playing in the cooler part of the day. Yep this is a good place for kicking back as the saying goes.
