Christmas Fish

ROCKPORT, TEXAS

DECEMBER 25, 2024

 It was time to get out of bed but the OFM was not ready yet so we laid there a few more minutes trying to figure out what to do today. Well we can at least get a good breakfast and head off to the beach park and try a new route to see how it feels. So we did just that.

We parked at the mid point of the planned travels and that worked out really well. Basically we looped the one mile long beach and a few short side trips hunting for pics to take. None jumped up and begged to get a pic taken. So we finished the loop and got back to Sierra with no special events to report.

This left us with the whole afternoon empty. The OFM had a thought and it scared us. It was a decent thought for a change. He suggest that the Teams go check out Light House Lakes Park over near the Port Aransas Ferry landing. we used to fish there a lot back in the kayaking days. We are sure glad we went.  It is a big wreck of a place to try to use now. About a half hour of looking around and we left not planning to come back this year at least. 

Back in Rockport w stopped to wet a line at Market St pier and ended up meeting a nice couple from Wisconsin. We visited for forever and then went over to the Rockport harbor to show them around there,

As luck would have it as the OFM was telling about fishing at the harbor and he caught a fish on the first cast,

From there we split up and the OFM went home for a bit.

Later the OFM got a call from his son and they talked forever. It sure was a great visit/Christmas present. It was a very full day of new and old friends. The OFM is ready for sleep and serious rest after all the extra walking today.

Rest well folks and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
