On the jetty at Port Aransas

After leaving South Padre Island we like to camp on the jetty at Port Aransas. They still allow camping right on the beach there and if it is sunny and not too windy it is stunning. Bert likes to watch the fisherman bring in their catch. Here is  a small shark that one of the fisherman caught. He took the hook out and put it back into the shipping channel.

We met this young man who reeled this 45 and 1/2 inch fish in about 5 minutes...not much fight from a big fish like this. He also took out the hook and released it...but not before taking some pictures! He said it was the biggest fish he had ever caught.

There are always pelicans around who will gratefully dispose of any unwanted caught fish.
