I thought i would post since I haven't since the lime tree and I have been getting prodded by some of you out there . So during our lunch of you guessed it, more fish!!!I thought I'd leave you with some words and photos. Also some of you have been wondering when we are coming home...WE"RE NOT GOING TO!!!! Okay just kidding we really don't have a definate date yet as we do have the first week of Nov. for free.
First pic. is of Clines Landing our temporary Texas treasure home. It is a gated community, not just anybody can come in!!! Our condo is on the 3rd floor on the outher side of the building which has a way better view of the water.

After a hard day of fishing on the bay boat Nancy caught these beauties!!! 3 mackeral, 1 croaker(and they really do croak like a frog)and 1 mangrove snapper,cousin of the red snapper. We ate the Mackeral all up as they do not freeze well.

Yes folks it is what it is, WE CAUGHT A SHARK, a smaller relative of JAWS. Could of ate him but we threw him back because we felt kind. Could of sold him to the Mexicans...

Here is a picture of a shrimp boat called the Polly Anna. It lives right near us. We can see it in the marina from our window. It goes out every evening and you can go down in the morning & buy as much of the freshest shrimp you will ever have right from the boat.

Now we are getting into some of the stuff that goes in & out of the ocean past our windows. Here is just 1 of many ships that we have seen going by. You know what's weird? If you're not looking they will slip right by you, they barely make a noise.

I'm sittiing without my glasses looking out the window, and say Nanc is that a new antenna on the building out there? And she says OH MY GOSH It was part of a oil derrick going by. Going backout to sea, with the help of 4 to 6 tugs. You can't phathom how big this thing was.

And just when we thought we'd seen it all stranger things float on out the channel. This one I do believe is an alien detector. Paid for by our homeland scrutiny department. It may look like a weather derrick but trust me, this reeks of government coverup...worse than a dead mackeral!!!!

As you can see we are still having fun, and we are heading out to fish the jetties today.
Love ya'll U/p
ps I hate Bill Gates hate him, hate him,hate him. having to do this on a gates computer.Whew

Tails from the coastal bend..
When, if at all does it sink in that to eat fish, you buy fish to catch said eating ones? HAHAAAA Damn its been hot down here. But I have to keep reminding myself, "Self, you're in what's called south Texas, it's going to be hot damn HOT. You could put a roast & some taters in your pants and have crotch pot cooking!!" OK, no fish yesterday, at least to speak of, so me & my girl decide to go out for fish. We went to a place we had been to last year and enjoyed, but this year was not the same. We ordered the fresh catch of the day. The dinner we ordered was not cook all the way though so we sent it back for a redo. Well after checking before biting we discovered this one also was raw inside so we sent it back and said no thanks to a 3rd try. We asked what kind of fish it was and were told Alaskan Whitefish Somehow I don't think that should be considered the fresh catch of the day here on the coastal bend of Texas!! The only thing that saved me from getting sick was the 6 pack of Long Star beer, MMMMM good. On the way back to our abode we passed under some intertesting trees with green things hanging from them. Nancy knew right off they were limes and Oranges. The oranges were green yet but we picked one and several limes to check out. And wouldn't you know it but I left all my Tequila at home! Oh well I'm sure I'l survive to 'tequila' another day! We went to try our luck today at fishing ---caught a skipjack but it broke our line just as we were getting it in.It's really only good for cut bait so we didn't feel to bad. A older couple next to us caught 2 beautiful red snappers and several red drums. I swear but some people have all the luck!!
Take care my slippery little monkeys!! Son, Brother, Uncle Peter
