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

Was that alien detector moving? Cause that would be weird to see.
Also, I enjoyed the pictures. When you told me you had caught fish, I pictured some boring minnesota fish not exciting cousins of red snappers and such.
Yes the 'detector' was moving as was the oil derrick thingy. it was very weird especially to see them coming down the channel. one had 4 maybe 5 tugboats guiding it out to sea. And what was also weird, there wasn't alot of noise while these huge things floated on by. and at quite a quick clip they moved too. it was strange, hey, what's that, holy s&@t it's moving!
OK. let me say this about saltwater fish. We caught the shark, a stingray, spanish mackerals, gaff catfish, a 38 in. red drum, a croaker..yes it makes a froglike croak noise when you haul it out, a flounder, dog fish, trout, mangrove snapper, & a really gross eel with teeth. All the fish here seem to have sharp teeth. Nancy won the biggest fish contest twice on the bay boat, winning her 4 passes and a total of 27.00. Even the rough and cruddy fish , which can be cut into bait, seem more interesting than MN green fish. We saw a deep sea rent-a-boat unloading it's bounty. At least 15 real tuna, around 30 very large red snappers(YUMMM), one 6ft shark which took 1 hour to land, and a few others.
See ya'll soon!!
